. sources at locations distant from material handling point. Never use welding or cutting torch on or near
drum (even empty) because product (even just residue) can ignite explosively.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
■ Alcohol foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical.
nRE nCHTlNG INSTRUCTIONS:
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece operated in the positive pressure demand
mode with appropriate turn-out gear and chemical resistant personal protective equipment.
Refer to the personal protective equipment section of this MSDS.

Section 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SMALL SPILL -*
Absorb liquid on vermiculite, floor absorbent or other absorbent material.
LARGE SPILL
Eliminate all ignition sources (flares, flames including pilot lights, electrical sparks). Persons not wearing
protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been completed. Stop
spill at source. Prevent from entering drains, sewers, streams or other bodies of water. Prevent from
spreading. If runoff occurs, notify authorities as required. Pump or vacuum transfer spilled product
to clean containers for recovery. Absorb unrecoverable product Transfer contaminated absorbent, soil
and other materials to containers for disposal.. Prevent runoff to sewers, streams or other bodies of water.
If runoff occurs, notify proper authorities as required, that a spill has occurred.
Section 7. HANDUNG AND STORAGE
HANDUNG:
Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since emptied containers retain product
residues (vapor, liquid, and/or solid), all hazard precautions given in the data sheet must be observed.
All five gallon pails and larger metal containers including tank cars and tank trucks should be grounded
and/or bonded when material is transferred. WARNING. Sudden release of hot organic chemical vapors or
mists from process equipment operating at elevated temperature and pressure, or sudden ingress of air
into vacuum equipment, may result in ignitions without the presence of obvious ignition sources. Published
"autoignition" or "ignition" temperature values cannot be treated as safe operating temperatures in chemical
processes without analysis of the actual process conditions. Any use of this product in elevated temperature
processes should be thoroughly evaluated to establish and maintain safe operating conditions.
Section 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECnON
EYE FROTECnON:
Chemical splash goggles in compliance with OSHA regulations are advised; however, OSHA regulations
also pennit other type safety glasses. Consult your safety representative.
SKIN PROTECTION:
Wear resistant gloves (consult your safety equipment supplier). To prevent repeated or prolonged skin
contact, wear impervious clothing and boots.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTIONS:
If workplace exposure limit(s) of product or any component is exceeded (see exposure guidelines), a
NIOSH/MSHA approved air supplied respirator is advised in absence of proper environmental control.
OSHA regulations also permit other NIOSH/MSHA respirators (negative pressure type) under specified
conditions (see your industrial hygienist). Engineering or administrative controls should be implemented
to reduce exposure.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to maintain exposure below
TLV(s).
