Flash Point, °F 155 (Setaflash)

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Alcohol Foam, Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Water Fog

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Combustible liquid and vapor.

SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: Water may be used to cool closed containers to prevent pressure buildup and possible

autoignition or explosion. Full protective equipment including self-contained breathing apparatus should be used. Evacuate area

and fight fire from a safe distance.

6. Accidental Release Measures

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Isolate the hazard area and deny entry to unnecessary and

unprotected personnel. Remove all sources of ignition, ventilate area and remove with inert absorbent and non-sparking tools.

Dispose of according to local, state (provincial) and federal regulations. Do not incinerate closed containers.

7. Handling and Storage

HANDLING: Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Follow all MSDS/label precautions even after

container is emptied because it may retain product residues. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact

with skin.

STORAGE: Keep containers tightly closed. Isolate from heat, electrical equipment, sparks and open flame. Do not store above

120 ° F. Store large quantities in buildings designed and protected for storage of NFPA Class II combustible liquids.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne

levels below recommended exposure limits. Prevent build-up of vapors by opening all doors and windows to achieve cross-

ventilation.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: A NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge or canister may

be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits.

Protection provided by air purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if there is any potential for an

uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or in any other circumstances where air purifying respirators may not provide

adequate protection.

SKIN PROTECTION: Use gloves to prevent prolonged skin contact. Nitrile or Neoprene gloves may afford adequate skin

protection.

EYE PROTECTION: Use safety eyewear designed to protect against splash of liquids.

OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Refer to safety supervisor or industrial hygienist for further information regarding personal

protective equipment and its application.

HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Wash thoroughly with soap and water before eating, drinking or smoking. Remove contaminated clothing

immediately and launder before reuse.
