Inhalation: |
Remove from further exposure. For those providing assistance, avoid exposure to yourself or
others. Use adequate respiratory protection. If respiratory irritation, dizziness, nauseas, or unconsciousness
occurs, seek immediate medical assistance. If breathing has stopped, assist ventilation with a mechanical device
or use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. |
Skin contact: |
Wash contact areas with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Launder contaminated
clothing before reuse. |
Eye contact: |
Flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical assistance. |
Ingestion: |
Seek immediate medical attention. Do not induce vomiting. |

appropriately. |
Section 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing media: |
|
Appropriate Extinguishing Media: |
Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish
flames.l |
Inappropriate Extinguishing Media: |
Straight streams of water. |
Fire Fighting: |
|
Fire Fighting Instructions: |
Evacuate area. If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapors
and to protect personnel attempting to stop a leak. Prevent runoff from fire control or dilution from entering
streams, sewers, or drinking water supply. Firefighters should use standard protective equipment and in
enclosed spaces, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces and
to protect personnel. |
Unusual Fire Hazards: |
Highly flammable. Vapors are flammable and heavier than air. Vapors may travel across
the ground and reach remote ignition sources causing a flashback fire danger. Hazardous material. Firefighters
should consider protective equipment indicated in Section 8. |
Hazardous Combustion Products: |
Smoke, Fume, Incomplete combustion product, Oxides of carbon. |
Flammability Properties: |
|
Flash Point [Method]: |
12°C (54°F) [ASTM D-56] |
Flammable Limits (Approximate volume % in air): |
LEL: 2.0 UEL: 13 |
Auto ignition Temperature: |
>350°C (662°F) [Technical literature) |
Section 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Notification Procedures: |
In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable regulations. US regulations require reporting releases of this material to the environment which exceed the applicable reportable quantity or oil spills which could reach any waterway including intermittent dry creeks. The National Response Center can be reached at (800)424-8802.
|
Protective Measures: |
Avoid contact with spilled material. Warn or evacuate occupants in surrounding and
downwind areas if required due to toxicity or flammability of the material. See section 5 for fire fighting
information. See the Hazard Identification Section for Significant Hazards. See Section 4 for First Aid Advice.
See Section 8 for advice on the minimum requirements for personal protective equipment. Additional
protective measures may be necessary, depending on the specific circumstances and/or the expert judgement of
the emergency responders.
|
Spill Management Land Spill: |
Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Stop leak if
you can do it without risk. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or
walk through spilled material. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. A vapor
suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material.
Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers. Large spills:
Water spray may reduce vapor; but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces.
|
Spill Management Water Spill: |
Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Eliminate sources of ignition. Warn other shipping. Seek
the advice of a specialist before using dispersants. Water spill and land spill commendations are based on the
most likely spill scenario for this material; however, geographical conditions, wind, temperature, (and in the case
of water spill) wave and current direction and speed may greatly influence the appropriate action to be taken.
For this reason, local experts should be consulted. Note: Local regulations may prescribe or limit action to be
taken.
|
Environmental Precautions Large Spills: |
Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later recovery and disposal. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.
|
Section 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: |
Avoid contact with eyes. Prevent exposure to ignition sources, for example use non-sparking tools and explosion-proof equipment. Potentially toxic/irritating fumes/vapors may be evolved from heated or agitated material. Use only with adequate ventilation. Use proper bonding and/or ground procedures. However, bonding and grounds may not eliminate the hazard from static accumulation. Peroxides may form upon prolonged storage. Exposure to light, heat or air significantly increases peroxide formation. If evaporated to a residue, the mixture of peroxides residue and material vapor may explode when exposed to heat or shock. Prevent small spills and leakage to avoid slip hazard. |
Static Accumulator: |
This material is not a static accumulator. |
Storage: |
Ample fire water supply should be available. A fixed sprinkler/deluge system is recommended. Keep container closed. Handle containers with care. Open slowly in order to control possible pressure release. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area. Outside or detached storage preferred. Storage containers should be grounded and bonded. Fixed storage containers, transfer containers and associated equipment should be grounded and bonded to prevent accumulation of static charge. |
Suitable Containers/Packaging: |
Drums; Tank Cars; Tank Trucks; Tankers; Barges. |
Suitable Materials and Coatings: |
Carbon Steel; Stainless Steel; Polyester; Teflon; Polyethylene; Polypropylene; Copper Bronze; Epoxy Phenolic; Zinc; Vinyls |
Unsuitable Materials and Coatings: |
Aluminum; Cast Iron; Polystyrene; Ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM); Monel; Butyl Rubber; Natural Rubber |

Engineering Controls: |
The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary depending upon potential exposure conditions. Control measures to consider: Adequate ventilation should be provided so that exposure limits are not exceeded. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. |
Personal Protection: |
Personal protective equipment selections vary based on potential exposure conditions such as applications, handling practices, concentration and ventilation. Information on the selection of protective equipment for use with this material, as provided below, is based upon intended, normal usage. |
Respiratory Protection: |
If engineering controls do not maintain airborne contaminant concentrations at a level which is adequate to protect worker health, an approved respirator may be appropriate. Respirator selection, use and maintenance must be in accordance with regulatory requirements, if applicable. Types of respirators to be considered for this material include: Half-face filter respirator. For high airborne concentrations, use an approved supplied-air respirator, operated in positive pressure mode. Supplied air respirators with an escape bottle may be appropriate when oxygen levels are inadequate, gas/vapor warning properties are poor, or if air purifying filter capacity/rating may be exceeded. |
Hand Protection: |
Any specific glove information provided is based on published literature and glove manufacturer data. Glove suitability and breakthrough time will differ depending on the specific use conditions. Contact the glove manufacturer for specific advice on glove selection and breakthrough times for your use conditions. Inspect and replace worn or damaged gloves. The types of gloves to be considered for this material include: If prolonged or repeated contact is likely, chemical resistant gloves are recommended. If contact with forearms is likely, wear gauntlet style gloves. |
Eye Protection: |
Chemical goggles are recommended. |
Skin and Body Protection: |
Any specific clothing information provided is based on published literature or manufacturer data. The types of clothing to be considered for this material include: If prolonged or repeated contact is likely, chemical, and oil resistant clothing is recommended. Specific Hygiene Measures: Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the
material and before eating, drinking and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants. Discard contaminated clothing and footwear that cannot be cleaned. Practice good housekeeping. Environmental Controls: Comply with applicable environmental regulations limiting discharge to air, water and soil. Protect the environment by applying appropriate control measures to prevent or limit emissions.
