Flash Point Method:COC
Flash Point:<65F,<18C
Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPRVD SCBA & FULL PROT EQUIP . USE
WATER TO KEEP FIRE-EXPOS CNTNRS COOL & TO FLUSH SPILLS AWAY FROM
FIRE. IN CASE OF LRG FIRES ALSO (SUPDAT)
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:COMPONENT(S) HAVE HIGH FIRE HAZ WHEN
EXPOS TO HEAT/FLAME. CAN REACT VIGOROUSLY W/STRONG
OXIDIZING/REDUCING AGENTS. VAPS OF ONE COMPONENT ARE HVR/AIR & MAY
TRAVEL TO SOURCES OF IGNIT; FLASHFIRE CAN RSL T. MOD FIRE HAZ FOR
VAPS, WHICH WILL BURN ABOVE FL PT IF EXPOSED TO FLAMES, SPARKS AND
OTHER IGNITION SOURCES.

Spill Release Procedures:CAUTION: USE APPROP PROT & SAFETY EQUIP. SEE
SEC OF MSDS FOR HNDLG PRECS. SINCE COMPONENT(S) OF PROD ARE
COMBUST, ELIM ALL POTNTL SOURCES OF IGNIT. THORO VENT AREA BEFORE
REINTRODUCING OPERS INVOLVING IGNIT (SMOKING, WELDING, ELEC CONT).
SML SPILL: MOP UP/SOAK UP W/NON-COMBUST ABSORB INORGANIC MATL.
TRANSFER TO DOT-APPRVD CNTNR. LRG SPILL: EVAC SPILL AREA OF
UNPROTECTED PERSONNEL. (OTHER INFO)
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

Handling and Storage Precautions:TRAIN ALL EMPLOYEES ON ALL SPECIAL
HANDLING PROCEDURES IN SECTION BEFORE THEY WORK WITH PRODUCT.
EXERCISE REASONABLE CARE AND CAUTION.
Other Precautions:PERSONNEL SHOULD AVOID BRTHG VAPS &/OR MISTS &
GETTING PROD IN EYES/ON SKIN. DO NOT CONSUME FOOD, DRINK/TOBACCO IN
AREAS WHERE THEY MAY BECOME CONTAMD W/MATL. KEEP CNTNRS COOL, DRY,
& AWAY FROM SOURCE S OF IGNIT. DO NOT STORE PROD IN DIRECT
SUNLIGHT, HIGH TEMP/BELOW FREEZING AREAS. KEEP PROD CNTNR TI
GHTLY(TOX INFO)

Respiratory Protection:ATMOSPHERIC LEVS SHOULD BE MAINTAINED BELOW
EXPOS GUIDELINES. WHEN RESP PROT IS REQD FOR CERTAIN OPERS, USE
NIOSH APPRVD FILTER TYPE RESP USED I/A/W REQD OF 29 CFR 1910.134.
IN CONFINED/POORLY VENT AR EAS/FOR EMER & OTHER CNDTNS WHERE EXPOS
GUIDELINES MAY BE GREATLY EXCEEDED, USE A NIOSH APPRVD POS-PRESS,
SELF-CONTAINED BRTHG APPARATUS.
Ventilation:CNTRL AIRBORN CONCS BELOW EXPOS GUIDELINES W/MECH VENT, IF
NEC. LOC EXPLO-PROOF EXHST VENT MAY BE NEC FOR SOME OPERS.
