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. Containers
can rupture and release highly toxic material if exposed to heat. Substance is non-combustible but reacts with many metals to form
explosive hydrogen gas. 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: Dispose of according to local, state (provincial) and federal
regulations. Do not incinerate closed containers. Avoid runoff into sewers and waterways. Provide ventilation and approach spill
from upwind using proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8. Carefully neutralize spill with sodium
bicarbonate (NaHCO3). Contain spilled liquid with sand or earth. DO NOT use combustible materials such as sawdust.
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.

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. Provide general dilution of local exhaust ventilation in volume and pattern to keep TLV of hazardous ingredients below
acceptable limits.
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. Use impervious gloves to prevent skin contact and absorption of this material through the skin.
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.
