Flash Point: Flash point of propellant <0 degrees F.
Upper: 9.5 (VOL.) Gas in air (propellant portion)
Lower: 1.8 % (VOL.) Gas in air (propellant portion)
Extinguishing Media:
Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, halon, or foam is recommended. Water spray may be used to cool containers
or structures. Halon may decompose into toxic materials and carbon dioxide will displace oxygen, take
proper precautions when using these materials.
Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards:
This material may be ignited by extreme heat, sparks, flames or other ignition sources (static electricity).
Vapors are heavier than air and will collect in low areas (sewers) or travel considerable distances. If
containers are not cooled in a fire, they may rupture and ignite.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
At elevated temperatures (over 130F) aerosol container may burst, vent or rupture; use equipment or
shielding to protect personnel. Cooling exposed containers with streams of water may be helpful.
Emergency responders should wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear other protective gear as
conditions warrant. Keep unauthorized people out and try to contain spills or leaks if it can be done safely.
Material will float on water, avoid spreading the fire.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Spill or Leak Instructions
Contain spill with dikes of soil or nonflammable absorbent to minimize contaminated area. Avoid run-off
into storm sewers and ditches leading to waterways. If required, notify state and local authorities. Place
leaking containers in well-ventilated area. Clean up small spills by using a nonflammable absorbent or
flushing sparingly with water. Contain larger spills with nonflammable diking or absorbent. Clean up by
vacuuming or sweeping.
Keep unnecessary people away; isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay upwind; keep out of low areas.
Assess the spill situation, as the spill may not evolve large amounts of hazardous airborne contaminants in
many outdoor spill situations. It may be advisable in some cases to simply monitor the situation until
spilled product is removed.
7. Handling and Storage
Handling:
Store below 120F in cool, dry area, out of direct sunlight and away from strong oxidizers. Do not
puncture or burst. Use in accordance with good work place practices. Use with adequate ventilation. Keep
containers closed when not in use. Always open containers slowly to allow any excess pressure to vent.
Avoid breathing vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water
after handling. Decontaminate soiled clothing thoroughly before re-use. Destroy contaminated leather
clothing.
