This product is classified as N – Dangerous for the
environment; R50 – Very toxic to aquatic organisms.
Mild primary irritant.
Eye: Accidental exposure to the eyes may produce a mild but
transient irritation.
Skin: Mild, primary skin irritation may occur with prolonged or
repeated contact.
Heated product may cause thermal burns if contacted.
Inhalation: No harmful effects expected at ambient temperature.
May elicit pulmonary irritation if mist or vapors are
formed.
Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal irritation.
If product is heated, vaporization can occur. Eye, skin, and upper respiratory
irritation can occur.
None identified
Toxic to freshwater and marine species.
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Get medical attention.
Wash skin with soap and water upon contact. Remove contaminated clothing.
If irritation persists, get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse.
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

• Extinguishing Media: Small fires: CO2, dry chemical or water fog.

Large fires: Foam
• Unsuitable extinguishing media: Water spray may be ineffective on fire.
• Flash Point and method: 290° F (143° C) PMCC
• Explosive limits in air: Upper: Not available
Lower: Not available
• Auto-ignition temperature: Not available
• Sensitivity to mechanical Not available
impact/static discharge:
• Special Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective
clothing.
• Other Fire Fighting Considerations: Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well
after fire is out.
• Exposure hazards: Does not decompose up to 400° F. Complete combustion
forms carbon dioxide and water vapor. Partial combustion
forms also carbon monoxide, soot, aldehydes and ketones.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

• Personal Precautions: Wear protective clothing. Wear an appropriate NIOSH/MSHA approved

respirator if mist or vapor is generated.
• Environmental Precautions: Dike flow of spilled material using soil or sandbags to minimize contamination
of drains, surface and ground waters.
• Procedures for Spill/Leak Clean-up: Ventilate area and eliminate all ignition sources. Contain spill. Absorb or cover
with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to
containers for disposal.
Refer to Section 8 for additional personal protection information.
Refer to Section 13 for disposal considerations.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

• Handling: Handle in accordance with good hygiene and safety procedures. Avoid contact
with eyes, skin, and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Since empty containers contain product residue, follow all hazard warnings and
precautions even after container is emptied. Keep away from sources of
ignition.
• Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks or open flames. Keep away from possible contact
with incompatible substances. Store in a cool dry place. Store in accordance
with NFPA 30.
Suitable for storing in most common vessels including stainless steel, zinc-type
spray-on linings, flaked polyester lining.
• Specific use(s): Follow bulk handling and storage procedures as noted above.
Refer to Section 6 for clean-up of spillages.
Refer to Section 13 for disposal considerations.

REVISION DATE: May 23, 2006 Page 4 of 9
Good industrial hygiene should be followed. Avoid
breathing (heated) vapors. Avoid eye and skin contact.
Not established.
Ventilation: Local exhaust - preferred
Mechanical - may be necessary if working at elevated
temperatures or in enclosed areas.
Eye: Goggles or face shield with goggles, dependent upon
potential exposure
Skin: Protective gloves: Rubber
Dependent upon degree of potential exposure, additional
personal protective equipment may be required, such as
chemical boots and full protective clothing.
Inhalation: None required for ambient temperature, although a
NIOSH/MSHA approved organic vapor air-purifying
respirator should be used if a mist or vapor is generated.
A NIOSH/MSHA approved self-contained of cartridge
respirator. WARNING: Air purifying respirators do not
protect workers in oxygen- deficient atmospheres.
Eye bath, safety shower, apron, protective clothing.
