FIRE EXTINGUISHING MATERIALS: Use extinguishing material suitable to the surrounding fire.
Water Spray: OK Carbon Dioxide: OK Foam: OK
Dry Chemical: OK Halon: OK Other: Any “ABC” Class
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: When involved in a fire, this
material can decompose generating dusts, irritating fumes and toxic gases
(e.g., Carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide, and oxides of Nitrogen).
Explosion Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact: Not sensitive under normal
conditions.
Explosion Sensitivity to Static Discharge: Not sensitive under normal
conditions.
SPECIAL FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Incipient fire responders should
wear eye protection. Structural firefighters must wear Self-Contained Breathing
Apparatus and full protective equipment. Move containers from fire area if it
can be done without risk to personnel. If possible, prevent runoff water from
entering storm drains, bodies of water, or other environmentally sensitive
areas.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SPILL AND LEAK RESPONSE: Trained personnel using pre-planned procedures should respond to uncontrolled
releases. Proper protective equipment should be used. In case of a spill, clear the affected area and protect people.
RESPONSE TO INCIDENTAL RELEASES: Personnel who have received basic chemical safety training can generally
handle small-scale releases, such as 1 container of this product. Respond to incidental chemical releases by wearing
gloves, goggles, and appropriate body protection.
RESPONSE TO NON-INCIDENTAL RELEASES: Respond to non-incidental chemical releases of this product, such as
the simultaneous puncturing of several containers, by clearing the impacted area and contacting appropriate emergency
personnel. Clean up should only be done by qualified personnel. Responders should wear the level of protection
appropriate to the type of chemical released, the volume of the material spilled, and the location where the incident has
occurred. Minimum Personal Protective Equipment should be Level B: triple-gloves, chemical resistant apron, boots,
and splash goggles and Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus. Level B should also be used when oxygen levels are
below 19.5% or are unknown.
RESPONSE EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURES: Absorb spilled liquid with polypads or other suitable absorbent
materials. Decontaminate the area thoroughly. Prevent spill rinsate from contamination of storm drains, sewers, soil or
groundwater. Place all spill residues in a suitable container and seal. Dispose of in accordance with applicable U.S.
Federal, State, or local procedures or appropriate standards of Canada (see Section 13, Disposal Considerations).
7. HANDLING and STORAGE
WORK PRACTICES AND HYGIENE PRACTICES: As with all chemicals, avoid getting this product ON YOU or IN YOU.
Wash thoroughly after using this product. Do not eat or drink while using this material. Avoid generating dusts, mists or
sprays of this product. Remove contaminated clothing immediately.
STORAGE AND HANDLING PRACTICES: All employees who handle this material should be trained to use it safely.
Open containers carefully on a stable surface. Empty containers can contain residual material; therefore, empty
containers should be handled with care. Store containers in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight, sources of
intense heat, or where freezing is possible. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10, Stability and
Reactivity). Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Inspect all incoming containers before storage, to ensure
containers are properly labeled and not damaged. Control possible sources of ignition.
PROTECTIVE PRACTICES DURING MAINTENANCE OF CONTAMINATED EQUIPMENT: Follow practices indicated in
Section 6 (Accidental Release Measures). Make certain that application equipment is locked and tagged-out safely if
necessary. Collect all rinsates and dispose of according to applicable U.S. Federal, State, or local procedures or
appropriate Canadian standards.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS - PERSONAL PROTECTION
VENTILATION AND ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use with adequate ventilation to ensure exposure levels are
maintained below the limits provided in Section 2 (Composition and Information on Ingredients). Ensure eyewash/safety
shower stations are available near areas where this product is used.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: None needed under normal conditions of use. Use NIOSH approved respirators if
ventilation is inadequate to control dusts, mists, fumes or vapors. Maintain airborne contaminate concentrations below
guidelines listed in Section 2 (Composition and Information on Ingredients). Oxygen levels below 19.5% are considered
IDLH by OSHA. In such atmospheres use of a full-face-piece pressure/demand SCBA or a full face-piece, supplied air
