6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE INFORMATION
Protective Measures: Eliminate all sources of ignition in the vicinity of the spill or released vapor. If this material is
released into the work area, evacuate the area immediately. Monitor area with combustible gas indicator.
Spill Management: Stop the source of the release if you can do it without risk. Contain release to prevent further
contamination of soil, surface water or groundwater. Clean up spill as soon as possible, observing precautions in
Exposure Controls/Personal Protection. Use appropriate techniques such as applying non-combustible absorbent
materials or pumping. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. A vapor suppressing foam may
be used to reduce vapors. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material. Where feasible and appropriate,
remove contaminated soil. Place contaminated materials in disposable containers and dispose of in a manner consistent
with applicable regulations.
Reporting: Report spills to local authorities and/or the U.S. Coast Guard's National Response Center at (800) 424-8802
as appropriate or required.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautionary Measures: Liquid evaporates and forms vapor (fumes) which can catch fire and burn with explosive
force. Invisible vapor spreads easily and can be set on fire by many sources such as pilot lights, welding equipment, and
electrical motors and switches. Fire hazard is greater as liquid temperature rises above 85F. Do not get in eyes, on skin,
or on clothing. Do not taste or swallow. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not breathe vapor or fumes. Keep out of the
reach of children.
General Handling Information: Avoid contaminating soil or releasing this material into sewage and drainage systems
and bodies of water.
Static Hazard: Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when handling this material. To
minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding may be necessary but may not, by themselves, be sufficient. Review all
operations which have the potential of generating and accumulating an electrostatic charge and/or a flammable
atmosphere (including tank and container filling, splash filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, filtering,
mixing, agitation, and vacuum truck operations) and use appropriate mitigating procedures. For more information, refer to
OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.106, 'Flammable and Combustible Liquids', National Fire Protection Association (NFPA
77, 'Recommended Practice on Static Electricity', and/or the American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice
2003, 'Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out of Static, Lightning, and Stray Currents'.
General Storage Information: DO NOT USE OR STORE near heat, sparks, flames, or hot surfaces . USE AND STORE
ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AREA. Keep container closed when not in use.
Container Warnings: Container is not designed to contain pressure. Do not use pressure to empty container or it may
rupture with explosive force. Empty containers retain product residue (solid, liquid, and/or vapor) and can be dangerous.
Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity,
or other sources of ignition. They may explode and cause injury or death. Empty containers should be completely
drained, properly closed, and promptly returned to a drum reconditioner or disposed of properly.
