Fire Fighting Procedures:WATER MAY BE USED TO EXTINGUISH FIRE BY
COOLING, AND DILUTING LIQUID WITH WATER. WEAR A SELF-CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS WITH A FULL FACEPIECE OPERATED IN THE POSITIVE
PRESSURE DEMAND MODE WITH APPR OPTIATE TURN-OUT GEAR AND CHEMICAL
RESISTANT PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VAPORS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND MAY TRAVEL
ALONG GROUND OR BE MOVED BY VENTILATION AND IGNITED BY DISTANT
IGNITION SOURCES. NEVER USE WELDING OR CUTTING TORCH ON OR NEAR
DRUM (EVEN EMPTY) BECAUSE PRODUCT (EVEN JUST RESIDUE) CAN IGNITE
EXPLOSIVELY.

Spill Release Procedures:SMALL SPILL: ABSORB LIQUID ON
VERMICULITE,FLOOR ABSORBENT. LARGE SPILL: ELIMINATE IGNITION
SOURCES. STOP SPILL. PREVENT FROM ENTERING DRAINS, SEWERS, STREAMS
OR OTHER BODIES OF WATER. IF RUNOFF OCCUR S, NOTIFY AUTHORITIES, AS
REQUIRED. PUMP OR VACUUM SPILLED PRODUCT TO CLEAN CONTAINERS FOR
RECOVERY. ABSORB RESIDUE. TRANSFER CONTAMINATED ABSORBENT, SOIL,
OTHER MATERIALS TO CONTAINERS FOR DISPOSAL.

Handling and Storage Precautions:CONTAINERS OF THIS MATERIAL MAY BE
HAZARDOUS WHEN EMPTIED. SINCE EMPTIED CONTAINERS RETAIN PRODUCT
RESIDUES (VAPOR, LIQUID, AND/OR SOLID). ALL FIVE-GALLON PAILS AND
LARGER METAL CONTAINERS, INCLUDING TANK CARS AND TANK TRUCKS,
SHOULD BE GROUNDED OR BONDED WHEN MATERIAL IS TRANSFERRED.
Other Precautions:SUDDEN RELEASE OF HOT ORGANIC VAPORS/ MISTS FROM
PROCESS EQUIPMENT AT ELEVATED TEMP AND PRESS,OR SUDDEN INGRESS OF
AIR INTO VACUUM EQUIPMENT, MAY RESULT IN IGNITIONS WITHOUT
IGNITION SOURCE. USE OF THIS ITEM IN ELEVATED TEMP PROCESSES
SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY EVALUATED TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN SAFE O
PERATING CONDITIONS.

Respiratory Protection:IF OVEREXPOSURE HAS BEEN DETERMINED OR
DOCUMENTED, A NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED AIR SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR IS
ADVISED IN ABSENCE OF PROPER ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL. OSHA
REGULATIONS ALSO PERMIT OTHER NIOSH/MSHA RE SPIRATORS UNDER
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS. (SEE YOUR SAFETY RQUIPMENT SUPPLIER.)
ENGINEERING OR ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED TO
REDUCE EXPOSURE.
Ventilation:PROVIDE SUFFICIENT MECHANICAL (GENERAL) AND/OR LOCAL
EXHAUST TO MAINTAIN EXPOSURE BELOW LEVEL OF OVEREXPOSURE FROM KNOWN
OR SUSPECTED ADVERSE EFFECTS.
Protective Gloves:WEAR RESISTANT GLOVES SUCH AS NITRILE RUBBER TO
PREVENT SKIN CONTACT.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES IN COMPLIANCE WITH OSHA
REGULATIONS ARE ADVISED.
Other Protective Equipment:WEAR IMPERVIOUS CLOTHING AND BOOTS TO
PREVENT SKIN CONTACT.
