SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES

EVACUATE ENCLOSED AREAS, STAY UPWIND. CLOSE OR CONFINED QUARTERS REQUIRE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS, POSITIVE PRESSURE HOSE MASKS OR AIRLINE MASKS. USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL CONTAINERS, TO FLUSH SPILLS FROM SOURCE OF IGNITION AND TO DISPERSE VAPORS.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

FIRE HAZARD BECAUSE OF LOW FLASH POINT AND HIGH VOLATILITY. VAPORS ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR AND MAY TRAVEL TO SOURCE OF IGNITION.

SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
PRIMARY ROUTES OR ENTRY __X___Inhalation __X___Skin contact ______Eye contact ______Ingestion
EFFECT OF OVEREXPOSURE

INHALATION: SEVERE OVEREXPOSURE MAY RESULT IN NAUSEA, DIZZINESS, HEADACHE. CAN CAUSE DROWSINESS, IRRITATION OF EYES AND NASAL PASSAGES.

SKIN: SKIN IRRITANT. LIQUID CONTACT MAY REMOVE NATURAL SKIN OILS RESULTING IN IRRITATION. DERMATITIS MAY OCCUR WITH PROLONGED CONTACT.

EYES: FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR 15 MINUTES AND CALL A PHYSICIAN.

INGESTION: GIVE 1 OR 2 GLASSES OF WATER OR MILK. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. CALL A PHYSICIAN OR POISON CONTROL CENTER IMMEDIATELY.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE

INDIVIDUALS WITH PRE-EXISTING DISEASES OF THE EYES, SKIN OR RESPIRATORY SYSTEM MAY HAVE INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO THE TOXICITY OF EXCESSIVE EXPOSURES.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES

INHALATION: IF OVERCOME BY VAPORS, REMOVE TO FRESH AIR AND IF BREATHING STOPPED, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. CALL PHYSICIAN.

EYES: FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR 15 MINUTES AND CALL A PHYSICIAN.

SKIN: REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES. WASH SKIN WITH PLENTY OF SOAP AND WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. IF IRRITATION DEVELOPS, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.

INGESTION: GIVE 1 OR 2 GLASSES OF WATER OR MILK. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. CALL A PHYSICIAN OR POISON CONTROL CENTER IMMEDIATELY.

SECTION VII - SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED

ELIMINATE ALL IGNITION SOURCES. AVOID BREATHING OF VAPORS. KEEP LIQUID OUT OF EYES.

FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER. CONTAIN LIQUID WITH SAND OR EARTH. ABSORB WITH SAND OR NONFLAMMABLE ABSORBENT MATERIAL AND TRANSFER INTO STEEL DRUMS FOR RECOVERY OR DISPOSAL. PREVENT LIQUID FROM ENTERING DRAINS.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD

FOLLOW LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS. CONSULT DISPOSAL EXPERT. CAN BE DISPOSED OF BY INCINERATION. EXCESSIVE QUANTITIES SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED TO ENTER DRAINS. EMPTY CONTAINERS SHOULD BE AIR DRIED BEFORE DISPOSING.

SECTION VIII - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (Specify type)

ATMOSPHERIC LEVELS SHOULD BE MAINTAINED BELOW ESTABLISHED EXPOSURE LIMITS CONTAINED IN SECTION II. IF AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS EXCEED THOSE LIMITS, USE OF A NIOSH-APPROVED ORGANIC VAPOR CARTRIDGE RESPIRATOR WITH FULL FACE-PIECE IS RECOMMENDED. THE EFFECTIVENESS OF AN AIR PURIFYING RESPIRATOR IS LIMITED. USE IT ONLY FOR A SINGLE SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE. FOR EMERGENCY AND OTHER CONDITIONS WHERE SHORT TERM EXPOSURE GUIDELINES MAY BE EXCEEDED, USE AN APPROVED POSITIVE PRESSURE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
VENTILATION

USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. PROVIDE SUFFICIENT VENTILATION IN VOLUME AND PATTERN TO KEEP CONTAMINANTS BELOW APPLICABLE EXPOSURE LIMITS SET FORTH IN SECTION II.
