5.2 EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Use Water Spray (fog), Alcohol foam, AFFF, or fire extinguishers (dry chemical, carbon dioxide).
5.3 PROTECTION OF FIRE FIGHTERS
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Moderate fire hazard. Water may not effectively extinguish fire; however, it should be
used to keep fire-exposed containers and surfaces cool and prevent explosive rupture. Wear full protective
clothing, including helmet, self contained, positive pressure breathing apparatus, bunker coat and pants, and
protective covering for exposed areas of the head. Thorough decontamination should be performed after
exposure to the product or to products of combustion.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Closed containers exposed to heat from fire may build pressure and explode.
Note: See STABILITY AND REACTIVITY (SECTION 10) for hazardous combustion and thermal decomposition
information.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Accidental Release Measures: Observe precautions from other sections. Remove or disable all ignition sources. Evacuate
unprotected and untrained personnel from hazard area. Use non-sparking tools. The spill should be cleaned up by
qualified personnel. Ventilate the area with fresh air. For large spill, or spills in confined spaces, provide
mechanical ventilation to disperse or exhaust vapors, in accordance with good industrial hygiene practice.
Contain large spills by diking and collecting the spilled material in an appropriate container. Collect as much of
the spilled material as possible. Clean up residue or small spills using inert absorbent material. Place in a closed
container approved for transportation by appropriate authorities. Dispose of collected material as soon as possible
(see SECTION 13). In the event of a release of this material, the user should determine if the release qualifies as
reportable according to local, state, and federal regulations.

SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 HANDLING Avoid skin contact. Avoid eye contact with vapors, mists, or spray. Avoid breathing of vapors, mists or
spray. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash exposed areas thoroughly with soap and water.
For industrial or professional use only.
7.2 STORAGE Store out of direct sunlight, away from excessive heat. Store away from ignition sources. Store away from
oxidizing agents. Keep container in well-ventilated area. Keep container closed tightly.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
8.1 ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Provide appropriate local exhaust ventilation on open containers. Provide local exhaust
ventilation at transfer points. Use general dilution ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne
exposures to below Occupational Exposure Limits and/or control mist, vapor, or spray. If ventilation is not
adequate, use respiratory protection equipment.
8.2 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
8.2.1 Eye/Face Protection: Avoid eye contact. The following eye protection(s) are recommended: Safety Glasses
with side shields, Indirect Vented Goggles. (Goggles recommended when a splash potential exists.) Face
shields are recommended as well. Have Eye Wash equipment, (fixed or portable) available.
8.2.2 Skin Protection: Avoid skin contact. Select and use gloves and/or protective clothing to prevent skin contact
based on the results of an exposure assessment. Consult with your glove and/or protective clothing
manufacturer or perform compatibility testing for selection of appropriate compatible materials.
8.2.3 Respiratory Protection: Avoid breathing of vapors, mists, or spray. Use adequate ventilation at point of use or
transfer or when this product is heated above ambient temperature or is agitated. If vapors are excessive, use a
NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator, following all NIOSH/MSHA/OSHA and manufacturers regulations and
limitations. Respiratory programs must comply with 29CFR1910.134.
