SECTION V. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media:
Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide for small fire.
Water spray, for or regular foam for large fire.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:

Fight fires from a protected location. Dike fire control water for
later disposal.

Hazardous Thermal Decomposition: In case of extreme temperatures that may result fire, may
combust to give off toxic gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen chlorides and chlorine gas
Precautions to Fire Fighters: This product is a combustible liquid. Fire fighters should wear full
protective clothing and self contained breathing apparatus. Do not
release contaminated water into the environment.

SECTION VI. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal Precautions:
Wear appropriate safety clothing.
Environmental Precautions: Collect all waste material and place in closed marked containers. Dike
runoff to prevent entry to water or drainage systems. If product has
contaminated surface water, inform appropriate authorities.
Contaminated soil should be dug out.
Methods for cleaning up:

In the event of minor spillage absorb in sand or other inert materials.

Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.
In the event of major spillage collect and contain as much as free
liquid as possible. Dike spills using absorbent or impervious materials
such as sand or clay for later disposal. Do not empty into drains.

SECTION VII. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling: Take precaution to avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Do not contaminate water,
food or feedstuffs, by storage, handling, or by disposal. Read and observe all precautions
and instructions on the label.
STORAGE: Store container closed, upright, and at room temperature. Avoid exposure to extreme
temperatures. Always store pesticides in the original container. Store away from food,
feedstuffs, seeds and fertilizers.
SECTION VIII. EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Measures:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an
eyewash facility and safety shower. Ventilate treatment area thoroughly
before re-entry
Hygiene Measures:

Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Wash clothing separately before

re-use.
