Flash Point, °F 240° (CAL)

Extinguishing Media: Alcohol Film Forming Foam, Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Dry Sand, Water Fog

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: FLASH POINT IS TESTED TO BE GREATER THAN 200 DEGREES F. No unusual

fire or explosion hazards noted. Keep containers tightly closed.

SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: Water may be used to cool closed containers to prevent buildup of steam. If water is

used, fog nozzles are preferred.

6. Accidental Release Measures

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Dispose of according to local, state (provincial) and federal

regulations. Do not incinerate closed containers. If spilled, contain spilled material and remove with inert absorbent. Dispose of

contaminated absorbent, container, and unused contents in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. Do not incinerate

closed containers

7. Handling and Storage

HANDLING: Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash hands before eating. Avoid contact with eyes. Remove contaminated clothing

and launder before reuse. 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 contact with eyes, skin and clothing.

STORAGE: Keep from freezing. Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a dry, well ventilated place. Keep container tightly

closed when not in use.

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 respiratory protection program that meets OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be

followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use.

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. Refer to safety supervisor or industrial hygienist for further guidance regarding types of

personal protective equipment and their applications.

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

immediately and launder before reuse.
