Flash point Noncombustible

Lower explosion limit not applicable
Upper explosion limit not applicable

Suitable extinguishing media:Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.

Specific hazards during firefighting: Closed containers may rupture via pressure build-up when
exposed to fire or extreme heat. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases and/or fumes may be
generated during combustion or decomposition. Dried product can burn.

Special protective equipment for firefighters: In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing
apparatus.

Further information: Move containers promptly out of fire zone. If removal is impossible, cool
containers with water spray.
Remain upwind.
Avoid breathing smoke.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions
Appropriate protective equipment must be worn when handling a spill of this material. See SECTION
8, Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, for recommendations.
If exposed to material during clean-up operations, see SECTION 4, First Aid Measures, for actions to
follow.

Environmental precautions
CAUTION: Keep spills and cleaning runoff out of municipal sewers and open bodies of water.

Methods for cleaning up

Evacuate personnel to safe areas.
Ventilate the area.
Floor may be slippery; use care to avoid falling.
Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust).
Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal.
Avoid breathing vapor.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling
Vapors can be evolved when material is heated during processing operations. See SECTION 8,
Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, for types of ventilation required. Wash after handling and
shower at end of work period.
Other data: STIR WELL BEFORE USE.

Storage
Storage conditions: Avoid temperature extremes during storage; ambient temperature preferred.
Keep from freezing - product stability may be affected. Store out of direct sunlight in a cool place.
Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place.
Further information:
CONTAINERS MAY BE HAZARDOUS WHEN EMPTY. Since emptied containers retain product
residue follow all MSDS and label warnings even after container is emptied.
Improper disposal or re-use of this container may be dangerous and illegal. Refer to applicable local,
state and federal regulations.

Individual protection measures

Eye/face protection: Use chemical splash goggles (ANSI Z87.1 or approved equivalent).
Eye protection worn must be compatible with respiratory protection system employed.

Skin protection

Hand protection: Chemical-resistant gloves should be worn whenever this material is

handled. The glove(s) listed below may provide protection against permeation.
(Gloves of other chemically resistant materials may not provide adequate protection):
Neoprene gloves Gloves should be removed and replaced immediately if there is any
indication of degradation or chemical breakthrough. Rinse and remove gloves
immediately after use. Wash hands with soap and water.

Other protection: Use chemically resistant apron or other impervious clothing to

avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact.

Respiratory protection: A respiratory protection program meeting OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI
Z88.2 requirements or equivalent must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a
respirators use. None required if airborne concentrations are maintained below the exposure
limit listed in Exposure Limit Information. Up to 1000 ppm organic vapor: Wear a properly
fitted NIOSH approved (or equivalent) full-facepiece, air-purifying respirator, OR full facepiece,
airline respirator in the pressure demand mode. Above 1000 ppm organic vapor or Unknown:
Wear a properly fitted NIOSH approved (or equivalent) self-contained breathing apparatus in
the pressure demand mode, OR full-facepiece, airline respirator in the pressure demand mode
with emergency escape provision.
