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. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Containers may explode when heated.
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. Ventilate area, isolate
spilled material, and remove with inert absorbent. Dispose of contaminated absorbent, container, and unused contents in
accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
7. Handling and Storage
HANDLING: Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash hands before eating. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse.
Use only in a well-ventilated area. Use only with adequate ventilation. Follow all MSDS/label precautions even after container is
emptied because it may retain product residues. Avoid breathing fumes, vapors, or mist. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with
skin. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
STORAGE: Store in a dry, well ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. 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. Keep away from heat, sparks, flame and sources of
ignition. Avoid excess heat. Product should be stored in tightly sealed containers and protected from heat, moisture, and foreign
materials.

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 respiratory protection program that meets OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must
be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use. 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 guidance regarding types of
personal protective equipment and their applications. 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.
