EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
DANGER. Extremely flammable. Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Aspiration hazard.
Vapor harmful. Can cause nervous system depression. Keep away from heat and flame.
Contents under pressure. Do not puncture or incinerate container.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Primary Route of Entry: Skin contact, inhalation
Acute/Potential Health Effects:
EYES: May cause mild eye irritation. Symptoms include stinging, tearing and redness.
SKIN: May cause mild skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry the skin.
Symptoms may include redness, burning, drying of skin and skin burns.

Section 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: < 0 F (TCC Method). Flame Extension: >18", Positive Flashback.
Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, CO2 or foam is recommended.
Special Fire Fighting Instructions: EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. Contents under pressure.
Cool exposed containers with water spray to prevent bursting. SCBA should be used
whenever chemical fires are present.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Section 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Stop all leaks. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel
from entering. Eliminate all ignition sources. Disperse vapors with water spray.
Prevent runoff from entering drains, sewers, streams or other bodies of water.
Absorb spill with inert material. Absorb unrecoverable product. Transfer contaminated
absorbent, soil and other materials to containers for disposal.
