Flammable Properties and Hazards
Vapors can be heavier than air and may travel along the ground or be moved by ventilation and ignited by heat,
sparks, flame, and other ignition sources distant from material handling point. Never use welding or cutting torch
on or near container (even empty) because product (even residue) can ignite.
Hazardous Combustion Products
Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and various hydrocarbons
Suitable Extinguishing Media
Use carbon dioxide, dry powder, or foam.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
Do not use a solid water stream, as this may spread the fire.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Steps To Be Taken In Case Material Is Released Or Spilled
Isolate the immediate area. Prevent unauthorized entry. Eliminate all sources of ignition in area and downwind of
the spill area. Stay upwind, out of low areas, and ventilate closed spaces before entering. All equipment used
when handling this product must be grounded or non-sparking. Do not touch or walk through spilled material.
Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, or confined areas. A vapor
suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand, or other non-combustible
material and transfer to compatible containers. For large spills, dike ahead of the spill.
7. Handling and Storage
Precautions To Be Taken in Handling
Read carefully all cautions and directions on product label before use. Since empty container retains residue,
follow all label warnings even after container is empty. Dispose of empty container according to all regulations.
Do not reuse this container.
Precautions To Be Taken in Storing
Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry place. Do not store near flames or at elevated
temperatures.

Respiratory Equipment (Specify Type)
When refueling, if possible, use outdoors in an open air area. If refueling indoors, open all windows and doors
and maintain a cross ventilation of moving fresh air across the work area. If strong odor is noticed or you
experience slight dizziness, headache, nausea or eye-watering -- Stop -- ventilation is inadequate. Leave area
immediately. Always follow appliance manufacturer's directions for fueling, ignition, and all other activities
associated with use of the appliance.
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be
followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use.
If the work area is not properly ventilated to keep airborne levels below their exposure limits, you must use a
properly fitted and maintained NIOSH approved respirator for organic vapors. A dust mask does not provide
protection against vapors.
Eye Protection
Safety glasses, chemical goggles or face shields are recommended to safeguard against potential eye contact,
irritation, or injury.
