Extinguishing Media:REGULAR FOAM, CARBON DIOXIDE, DRY CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR A SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH
A FULL FACEPIECE OPERAATED IN THE POSITIVE PRESSURE DEMAND MODE
WITH APPROPRIATE TURN-OUT GEAR AND CHEMICAL RESISTANT PERSONAL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. WATE R MAY BE USED TO KEEP FIRE EXPOSED
CONTAINERS COOL UNTIL FIRE IS OUT.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VAPORS ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR AND MAY
TRAVEL ALONG GROUND OR MAY BE MOVED BY VENTILTION AND IGNITED BY AN
IGNITION SOURCES AT DISTANT LOCATIONS AND FLAHSBACK. COMBUSTION OR
HEAT OF FIRE MAY PRODUCE HAZA RDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS, CARBON
MONOXIDE, CARBON DIOXIDE, VARIOUS HYDROCARBONS.

Spill Release Procedures:ELIMINATE IGNITION SOURCES. VENTILATE AREA.
WEAR PROPER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. STOP SPILL. PREVENT FROM ENTERING
DRAINS, SEWERS, STREAMS, OR OTHER BODIES OF WATER. PREVENT FROM
SPREADING. IF RUNOFF OCU RS, NOTIFY AUTHORITIES THAT A SPILL HAS
OCCURRED. PUMP OR VACUUM SPILLED PRODUCT TO CLEAN CONTAINERS FOR
RECOVERY. ABSORB RESIDUE. TRANSFER RESIDUE, SOIL, OTHER MATERIALS
TO CONTAINERS FOR DISOPOSAL.
Neutralizing Agent:NOT APPLICABLE.

Handling and Storage Precautions:EMPTY CONTAINERS MAY BE HAZARDOUS
SINCE THEY CONTAIN RESIDUES (VAPOR, LIQUID, AND/OR SOLIDS). ALL
HAZARDPRE CAUTIONS IN DAT SHEET MUST BE OBSERVED. GROUND AND/OR
BOND ALL METAL CONTAINERS (5 GALLONS A ND OVER INCLUDING TANK CARS
AND TRUCKS) WHEN MATERIAL IS TRANSFERRED.
Other Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS, FLAMES. DO NOT CUT,
PUNCTURE, OR WELD ON OR NEAR CONTAINER. DO NOT RE-USE CONTAINER FOR
ANY PURPOSE UNTIL COMMERCIALLY CLEANED. FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY.
USE OF THIS PRODUC T IN ELEVATED TEMPERATURE PROCESSES SHOULD BE
THOROUGHLY EVALUATED TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN SAFE OP ERATING
CONDITIONS.

Respiratory Protection:IF WORKPLACE EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE EXCEEDED, A
NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED AIR SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR IS ADVISED IN ABSENCE
OF PROPER ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL. OSHA REGULATIONS ALSO PERMIT OTHER
NIOSH/MSHA RESPIRATOR S (NEGATIVE PRESSURE TYPE) UNDER SPECIFIED
CONDITIONS (SEE YOUR HYGIENIST). ENGINEERING OR ADMINISTRATIVE
CONTROLS SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED TO REDUCE EXPOSURE.
Ventilation:PROVIDE ADEQUATE MECHANICAL (GENERAL AND/OR LOCAL EXHAUST)
VENTILATION TO MAINTAIN EXPOSURE BELOW TLV(S). EXPLOSION-PROOF
SYSTEM IS ACCEPTABLE.
Protective Gloves:WEAR RESISTANT GLOVES SUCH AS POLYVINYL ALCOHOL.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES.
Other Protective Equipment:TO PREVENT REPEATED OR PROLONGED SKIN
CONTACT, WEAR IMPERVIOUS CLOTHING AND BOOTS.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. LAUNDER
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. DISCARD CONTAMINATED LEATHER GOODS.
