Special protective actions for fire-fighters: For fires beyond the initial stage, emergency responders in the immediate hazard
area should wear protective clothing. When the potential chemical hazard is unknown, in enclosed or confined spaces, a self
contained breathing apparatus should be worn. In addition, wear other appropriate protective equipment as conditions warrant
(see Section 8). Isolate the hazard area and deny entry to unnecessary and unprotected personnel. Stop spill/release if it can be
done safely. Move undamaged containers from immediate hazard area if it can be done safely. Water spray may be useful in
minimizing or dispersing vapors and to protect personnel. Cool equipment exposed to fire with water, if it can be done safely. Avoid
spreading burning liquid with water used for cooling purposes.
See Section 9 for Flammable Properties including Flash Point and Flammable (Explosive) Limits
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Combustible. Keep all sources of ignition away from
spill/release. The use of explosion-proof electrical equipment is recommended. Stay upwind and away from spill/release. Avoid
direct contact with material. For large spillages, notify persons down wind of the spill/release, isolate immediate hazard area and
keep unauthorized personnel out. Wear appropriate protective equipment, including respiratory protection, as conditions warrant
(see Section 8). See Sections 2 and 7 for additional information on hazards and precautionary measures.
Environmental Precautions: Stop and contain spill/release if it can be done safely. Prevent spilled material from entering sewers,
storm drains, other unauthorized drainage systems, and natural waterways. Use water sparingly to minimize environmental
contamination and reduce disposal requirements. If spill occurs on water notify appropriate authorities and advise shipping of any
hazard. Spills into or upon navigable waters, the contiguous zone, or adjoining shorelines that cause a sheen or discoloration on
the surface of the water, may require notification of the National Response Center (phone number 800-424-8802).
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable
regulations. Immediate cleanup of any spill is recommended. Dike far ahead of spill for later recovery or disposal. Absorb spill with
inert material such as sand or vermiculite, and place in suitable container for disposal. If spilled on water remove with appropriate
methods (e.g. skimming, booms or absorbents). In case of soil contamination, remove contaminated soil for remediation or
disposal, in accordance with local regulations.
Recommended measures are based on the most likely spillage scenarios for this material; however local conditions and
regulations may influence or limit the choice of appropriate actions to be taken. See Section 13 for information on appropriate
disposal.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling: Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking.
Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Use only non-sparking tools. Avoid breathing vapors or mists. Wear
protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. Contaminated work clothing must not be allowed out of the
workplace. Wash thoroughly after handling. Use good personal hygiene practices and wear appropriate personal protective
equipment (see section 8). Spills will produce very slippery surfaces. Open container slowly to relieve any pressure. Electrostatic
charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when handling or processing this material. To avoid fire or explosion,
dissipate static electricity during transfer by grounding and bonding containers and equipment before transferring material. The use
of explosion-proof electrical equipment is recommended and may be required (see appropriate fire codes). Refer to NFPA-70
and/or API RP 2003 for specific bonding/grounding requirements. Do not enter confined spaces such as tanks or pits without
following proper entry procedures such as ASTM D-4276 and 29CFR 1910.146. Do not wear contaminated clothing or shoes. Keep
contaminated clothing away from sources of ignition such as sparks or open flames.
Conditions for safe storage: Keep container(s) tightly closed and properly labeled. Use and store this material in cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from heat and all sources of ignition. Post area "No Smoking or Open Flame." Store only in approved
containers. Keep away from any incompatible material (see Section 10). Protect container(s) against physical damage. Outdoor or
detached storage is preferred. Indoor storage should meet OSHA standards and appropriate fire codes.
"Empty" containers retain residue and may be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such
containers to heat, flame, sparks, or other sources of ignition. They may explode and cause injury or death. "Empty" drums should
be completely drained, properly bunged, and promptly shipped to the supplier or a drum reconditioner. All containers should be
disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with governmental regulations. Before working on or in tanks
which contain or have contained this material, refer to OSHA regulations, ANSI Z49.1, and other references pertaining to cleaning,
repairing, welding, or other contemplated operations.
