Flash Point:
12.8 @ 77?F
Upper Flammable/Explosive
Limit, % in air:
1.8 @ 77?F
Lower Flammable/Explosive
Limit, % in air:
Flammable Liquid. Can release vapors that form explosive mixtures at temperatures at
Fire Hazards:
or above the flash point. Water spray may be used to cool containers however be
careful not to spread the fire with the water used for cooling purposes. Vapors may be
ignited by heat, sparks, flames or other sources of ignition at or above the low flash
point giving rise to a Class B fire. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a
source of ignition and flash back.
Alcohol foam Use alcohol resistant spray, Carbon Dioxide, water spray or dry
Extinguishing Media:
chemical to extinguish a fire involving this chemical. Flammable component(s) of this
material may be lighter than water and burn while floating on the surface. CO2, dry
chemical, foam Use methods suitable to fight surrounding fire. Use alcohol resistant
foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical extinguishing agents. Water spray or fog may
also be effective for extinguishing if swept across the base of the fire. Water can also
be used to absorb heat and keep exposed material from being damaged by fire.
Flammable component(s) of this material may be lighter than water and burn while
Fire Fighting Instructions:
floating on the surface. As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
Use methods for the surrounding fire.Do not enter fire area without proper protection
including self-contained toxic breathing apparatus and full protective equipment.
Fight fire from a safe distance and a protected location due to the potential of
hazardous vapors and decomposition products. Flammable component(s) of this
material may be lighter than water and burn while floating on the surface. Use water
spray/fog for cooling.

VI. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Exposure to the spilled material may be irritating or harmful. Follow personal
Health Consideration for Spill
Response: protective equipment recommendations found in Section VIII of this MSDS.
Additional precautions may be necessary based on special circumstances created by
the spill including; the material spilled, the quantity of the spill, the area in which the
spill occurred. Also consider the expertise of employees in the area responding to the
spill.
Prevent the spread of any spill to minimize harm to human health and the
Spill Mitigation Procedures
General Methods: environment if safe to do so. Wear complete and proper personal protective
equipment following the recommendation of Section VIII at a minimum. Dike with
suitable absorbent material like granulated clay. Gather and store in a sealed container
pending a waste disposal evaluation.
VII. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Ground and bond containers
Handling:
when transferring material. Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact with
material. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. "Empty" containers
retain product residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. Harmful or
irritating material. Avoid contact and avoid breathing the material. Use only in a well
ventilated area.
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Store away from sources of heat and light.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store this product in air-tight containers. Store in
a cool dry ventilated location. Isolate from incompatible materials and conditions.
Keep container(s) closed.
VIII. ENGINEERING CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Ventilation should effectively remove and prevent buildup of any vapor/mist/fume
Engineering Controls:
generated from the handling of this product. Explosion proof exhaust ventilation
should be used. No exposure limits exist for the constituents of this product. Use local
exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to minimize exposures and maintain
operator comfort.
Protective Equipment
Respirators should be selected by and used under the direction of a trained health and
Respiratory Tract:
safety professional following requirements found in OSHA's respirator standard (29
CFR 1910.134) and ANSI's standard for respiratory protection (Z88.2-1992). A
written respiratory protection program, including provisions for medical certification,
training, fit testing, exposure assessments, maintenance, inspection, cleaning, and
convenient, sanitary storage should be implemented.
Wear chemically resistant safety glasses with side shields when handling this product.
Eyes:
Wear additional eye protection such as chemical splash goggles and/or face shield
when the possibility exists for eye contact with splashing or spraying liquid, or
airborne material. Do not wear contact lenses. Have an eye wash station available.

Avoid skin contact by wearing chemically resistant gloves, an apron and other
Skin:
protective equipment depending upon conditions of use. Inspect gloves for chemical
break-through and replace at regular intervals. Clean protective equipment regularly.
Wash hands and other exposed areas with mild soap and water before eating,
drinking, and when leaving work.
