SECTION FOUR - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA


FLASH POINT:   N/D           FLAMMABLE LIMITS:   UEL  10.6%    LEL  1.1%    
EXTINGUISHING MEDIUM:  As appropriate for combustibles in area                                                 
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:  Wear self-contained breathing apparatus when fighting fires containing or around this product.  Shut off all sources of ignition, if possible.  Keep exposed containers cool with water spray to prevent rupture.  Evacuate all non-trained personnel.  Wear full protective clothing, including helmet.  Ventilate area.  Contain spill and dike, if possible.  For leaks or spills that have not ignited, water spray can be used to disperse the flammable vapor and protect personnel attempting to stop the leak.  Do not use direct stream of water because product will float and can be reignited on the surface of water.                                                                  
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:  Firefighters should wear SCBAS in a positive pressure mode with full face shield.  Vapors are heavier than air and may travel long distances and accumulate in low areas or spread along ground from handling site.  Eliminate all sources of ignition as vapor may ignite. Carbon oxides may be formed.                                                                                  

 

SECTION FIVE  - REACTIVITY DATA


STABILITY:   Stable, avoid open flames and high temperatures (above 120ºF) and direct sunlight
INCOMPATIBILITY:   Strong oxidizers
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:  Combustion may yield carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION:  Will not occur

SECTION SIX - HEALTH HAZARD DATA

 
EFFECTS OF OVER EXPOSURE
EYE CONTACT:  Direct contact with the liquid or mists or overexposures to the vapor may be irritating, causing tearing, stinging, redness, and swelling.
SKIN CONTACT:  Repeated or prolonged contact may cause mild skin irritation resulting in redness, burning, drying, and cracking of the skin.  Persons with pre-existing skin disorders may be more susceptible to the effects of this material.
SKIN ABSORPTION:  Not likely when used as directed.
INGESTION:  Not likely as an aerosol, but ingestion of excessive quantities may cause irritation of the digestive tract and signs of nervous system depression such as headache, drowsiness, dizziness, loss of coordination, and fatigue.
INHALATION:  Prolonged, repeated, or intentional abuse may be harmful or fatal.  Effects of overexposure may include irritation of the nose and throat and signs of nervous system depression:  headache, drowsiness, dizziness, loss of coordination, and fatigue.  Overexposure may cause respiratory symptoms associated with pre-existing lung disorders; asthma-like conditions, to be aggravated.                                   
SYSTEMIC AND OTHER EFFECTS:  None known.

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
EYE CONTACT:  In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower eyelids.  If irritation occurs, get medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT:  In case of contact, wash with soap and water for at least 15 minutes.  If irritation occurs call a physician.  Wash clothing before reuse.
INHALATION:  If affected, move person to non-contaminated fresh air.  If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration.  If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.  Call a physician immediately if symptoms persist.                                                                                                                                                
INGESTION:  Ingestion is not likely as an aerosol but, if ingested, do not induce vomiting.  Give one to two glasses of water.  Keep victim's head below hips or on left side with head down.  Call a physician or poison control center immediately.  Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.  Do not leave victim unattended.

 

SECTION SEVEN - ENVIRONMENTAL AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION


ACTION TO TAKE FOR SPILLS/LEAKS:  Ventilate area-especially low places where heavy vapors might collect.  extinguish all ignition sources.  Contain spill and cover with inorganic absorbent material.  Collect spilled material. Place into an approved DOT container for disposal.  Clean up residue with water.  Refer to other sections of this MSDS for information regarding physical and health hazards, respiratory protection, ventilation, and personnel protective equipment.                      
                                                                                                              
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: In accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. For large spills, remove to a permitted disposal facility.  For small spills, dry inorganic material on plastic in direct sunlight and landfill.

 

SECTION EIGHT - HANDLING AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS

 

Store in tightly sealed containers.  Keep away from heat, sparks, and open  flame.  Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing.  Do not breathe vapor, mist, or gas.  Do not store or transfer to an unmarked container.  Do not throw empty containers in trash compactor.  Do not store in direct sun.  Store containers below 120ºF.  Do not throw empty container into fire.  Read label before using.

 

SECTION NINE - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION


RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (SPECIFY TYPE):  If use conditions generate large amounts of vapors or mists, select one of the following NIOSH approved respirators based on airborne concentration of contaminants in accordance with OSHA regulations.  Full face organic vapor and acid gas respirator, full face supplied air respirator or full face pressure demand self-contained breathing apparatus.
VENTILATION:  Local mechanical exhaust ventilation capable of maintaining emissions at the point of use below the PEL/TLV.
