4. FIRST-AID MEASURES (Continued)
INGESTION: If this product is swallowed, CALL PHYSICIAN OR POISON CONTROL CENTER FOR MOST CURRENT
INFORMATION. If professional advice is not available, do not induce vomiting. Have victim rinse mouth with water or drink
several cupfuls of water, if conscious. Never induce vomiting or give a diluent (e.g., water) to someone who is unconscious,
having convulsions, or unable to swallow. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position,
if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Preexisting respiratory problems, dermatitis, other skin disorders,
and central nervous disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this product.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO PHYSICIANS: Treat symptoms and eliminate overexposure. Provide oxygen, if necessary.
Pulmonary function tests, chest X-rays, and nervous system evaluations may prove useful.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: 65.5-73.8C (150-165F)
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: >600 F >315 C
FLAMMABLE LIMITS (in air by volume, %):
Lower (LEL): (%) 0.7 vol % (estimated)
Upper (UEL): (%) 6 vol % (estimated)
FIRE EXTINGUISHING MATERIALS:
Water Spray: YES Carbon Dioxide: YES
Foam: YES Dry Chemical: YES
Halon: YES Other: Any "ABC" Class.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: This product is Class IIIA
combustible liquid, which can ignite if heated at or above its flash point of
65.5-73.8C (150-165F). If involved in a fire, this product will produce
irritating and toxic materials such as various carbon oxides, aldehydes and
hydrocarbons. This product can float on water and may travel to distant
locations and spread fire. Containers may rupture violently when exposed
to fire or excessive heat for sufficient time.
Explosion Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact: Not sensitive.
Explosion Sensitivity to Static Discharge: In general, materials similar to this product have low electrical conductivities
and therefore the liquid can accumulate static charge by flow, agitation or pouring. The warmed vapour can be ignited
by an electrostatic discharge of sufficient energy.
SPECIAL FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Structural firefighters must wear Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus and full
protective equipment. Chemical resistant clothing may be necessary. Move containers from fire area if it can be done without
risk to personnel. Water spray can be used to cool fire-exposed containers. Avoid getting water into containers because of
the danger of boiling over. Stop leak before attempting to stop the fire. If the leak cannot be stopped, and if there is no
risk to the surrounding area, let the fire burn itself out. Water fog or spray can also be used by trained firefighters to
disperse this product’s vapors and to protect personnel. If possible, prevent runoff water from entering storm drains, bodies of
water, or other environmentally sensitive areas. Rinse contaminated equipment thoroughly with soapy water before returning
such equipment to service.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
RELEASE RESPONSE: In case of a release, clear the affected area and protect people. Spills will be slippery. Eliminate all
sources of ignition before cleanup begins. Use non-sparking tools. Appropriately trained personnel in proper personal
protective equipment, using pre-planned procedures should respond to uncontrolled releases. The proper personal protective
equipment for incidental releases (e.g., 32-ounce container) should be rubber gloves and goggles. In the event that cleanup
will generate excessive splashes, a face-shield, boots, and chemical resistant body protection should also be worn. In the
event of a non-incidental release (e.g., several 1-gallon containers released in a poorly ventilated area), minimum Personal
Protective Equipment should be Level B: triple-gloves (rubber gloves and nitrile gloves over latex gloves), chemical resistant
suit and boots, hard hat, and Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus. A fire-retardant suit must be worn over the chemical
resistant suit. Short-term colorimetric detector tubes for the determination of hydrocarbons and petroleum hydrocarbons
are commercially available. Monitor area for combustible vapor levels. Monitoring must indicate less than 10% LEL (refer to
Section 5, Fire-fighting Measures) before emergency response personnel are permitted in the area. Monitoring must indicate
that oxygen levels are above 19.5% before anyone is permitted in the area without Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus.
Absorb spilled liquid with activated carbon, polypads, or other suitable absorbent materials. Decontaminate the area
thoroughly. Place all spill residue in an appropriate container and seal. Dispose of in accordance with applicable U.S.
Federal, State, or local procedures, or appropriate standards of Canada or EU Member States (see Section 13, Disposal
Considerations).
