Extinguishing Media:REGULAR FOAM, WATER FOG, CARBON DIOXIDE, DRY
CHEMICAL, CLASS B.
Fire Fighting Procedures:KEEP FIRE EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL WITH WATER.
FIRE FIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH A
FULL FACEPIECE OPERATED IN THE POSITIVE PRESSURE DEMAND MODE WITH
APPROPRIATE GEAR AND CHEMICAL RESISTANT PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIOMENT.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VAPORS ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR AND MAY
TRAVEL ALONG THE GROUND OR BE MOVED BY VENTILATION AND IGNITED BY
HEAT, PILOT LIGHTS, OTHER FLAMES AND IGNITION SOURCES AT LOCATIONS
DISTANT FROM MATERIAL HANDLING POINT. NEVER USE WELDING OR CUTTING
TORCH ON OR NEAR DRUM (EVEN EMPTY) BECAUSE PRODUCT CAN IGNITE
EXPLOSIVELY.

Spill Release Procedures:SMALL SPILL: ABSORB ON VERMICULITE, OTHER
ABSORBENT. TRANSFER TO HOOD. LARGE SPILLS: ELIMINATE IGNITION
SOURCES, (FLARES, PILOT LIGHTS, ELECTRICAL SPARKS). STOP SPILL AT
SOURCE. PREVENT FROM ENTERING DRAINS, SEWERS, STREAMS. IF RUNOFF
OCCURS, NOTIFY AUTHORITIES AS REQUIRED. PUMP OR VACUUM SPILL TO
CLEAN CONTAINERS FOR RECOVERY. TRANSFER CONTAMINATED ABSORBENT,
SOIL, TO CONTAINERS FOR DISPOSAL.

Handling and Storage Precautions:SINCE EMPTY CONTAINERS RETAIN PRODUCT
RESIDUES, ALL HAZARD PRECAUTIONS GIVEN IN THE DATA SHEET MUST BE
OBSERVED. ALL METAL PAILS OR DRUMS SHOULD BE GROUNDED AND/OR BONDED
WHEN MATERIAL IS TRANSFERRED. KEEP THIS AND ALL CHEMICALS OUT OF
REACH OF CHILDREN.
Other Precautions:USE OF THIS PRODUCT IN ELEVATED TEMPERATURE
PROCESSING SHOULD BE THROUGHLY EVALUATED TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN
SAFE OPERATING CONDITIONS. SUDDEN RELEASE OF HOT ORGANIC CHEMICAL
VAPORS OR MISTS FROM PR OCESS EQUIPMENT OPERATING AT ELEVATED
TEMPERATURE MAY RESULT IN IGNITION.

Respiratory Protection:NOT REQUIRE UNDER CONDITIONS OF NORMAL USE. IF
VAPOR MIST IS PRESENT USE NIOSH CERTIFIED ORGANIC VAPOR MASK.
