UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: This product is a
combustible liquid. If involved in a fire, this product can decompose and
produce irritating and toxic materials such as oxides of carbon.
Explosion Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact
: Not sensitive.
Explosion Sensitivity to Static Discharge
: May be sensitive. In event of
a release of large volume of the liquid, formation of an explosive
air/vapor mixture.
SPECIAL FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES
: Structural fire-fighters must
wear Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus and full protective equipment. Move containers from fire area if it can be done
without risk to personnel. Water fog or spray can also be used by trained fire-fighters 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 before returning such equipment to service.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
RELEASE RESPONSE: In case of a release, clear the affected area and protect people. Appropriately trained personnel in
proper personal protective equipment should respond to uncontrolled releases using pre-planned procedures. The proper
personal protective equipment for incidental releases (e.g., single vial) should be rubber gloves and goggles. For large spills,
eliminate all sources of ignition before cleanup begins. Use non-sparking tools. In the event that cleanup will generate
excessive splashes, a face-shield, and body protection should also be worn. In the event of a non-incidental release (e.g.,
several gallons released in a poorly ventilated area), minimum Personal Protective Equipment should be Level B: triple-
gloves (rubber gloves and nitrile gloves over latex gloves), Tyvek or other appropriate body protection and boots, hard-hat,
and Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus. Absorb spilled liquid with non-combustible absorbent materials. Decontaminate
the area thoroughly. Place all spill residue in an appropriate container and seal. Dispose of in accordance with U.S.
Federal, State, and local hazardous waste disposal regulations or those of Canada and its Provinces and EU Member States
(see Section 13, Disposal Considerations).

STORAGE AND HANDLING PRACTICES: All employees who handle this material should be trained to handle it safely.
Keep away from heat, sparks, and other sources of ignition. Use non-sparking tools. Open containers slowly on a stable
surface. Empty containers may contain residual amounts of this product; 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). Material should be stored in
secondary containers. Storage areas should be made of fire resistant materials. Have appropriate extinguishing equipment
in the storage area (e.g., sprinkler system, portable fire extinguishers). Keep container tightly closed when not in use.
Inspect all incoming containers before storage to ensure containers are properly labeled and not damaged. Refer to NFPA
30, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code for additional information on storage.
