GENERAL COMMENTS
OSHA FLAMMABILITY: Class IB
EXTINGUISHING METHOD
Use carbon dioxide, dry powder, or foam.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Self-contained respiratory protection should be provided for
fire fighters fighting fires in buildings or confined areas. Storage
containers exposed to fire should be kept cool with water spray to
prevent pressure build-up. Stay away from heads of containers that
have been exposed to intense heat or flame.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
DANGER! EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS, FLAME AND
ALL OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION. VAPORS MAY CAUSE FLASH FIRE OR
IGNITE EXPLOSIVELY.
Do not smoke. Extinguish all flames and pilot lights, and turn off
stoves, heaters, electric motors and all other sources of ignition
during use and until all vapors are gone. Beware of static
electricity that may be generated by synthetic clothing and other
sources.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 7. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CLEAN-UP
Keep unnecessary people away; isolate hazard area and deny entry.
Stay upwind, out of low areas, and ventilate closed spaces before
entering. Shut off ignition sources; keep flares, smoking or flames
PAGE 4
MSDS NO. 1640
out of hazard area. SMALL SPILLS: take up liquid with sand, earth
or other noncombustible absorbent material and place in a plastic
container where applicable. LARGE SPILLS: dike far ahead of spill
for later disposal.
For transportation related spills contact Chemtrec at 1-800-424-9300
for emergency assistance.
WASTE DISPOSAL
Dispose in accordance with applicable local, state and federal
regulations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 8. HANDLING AND STORAGE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 10. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
VENTILATION PROTECTION
Use only with adequate ventilation to prevent build-up of vapors.
Open all windows and doors. Use only with a cross ventilation of
moving fresh air across the work area. If strong odor is noticed or
you experience slight dizziness, headache, nausea, or eye-watering -
STOP - ventilation is inadequate. Leave area immediately.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
For OSHA controlled work place and other regular users - Use only
with adequate ventilation under engineered air control systems
designed to prevent exceeding appropriate TLV. For occasional use,
where engineered air control is not feasible, use properly main-
tained and properly fitted NIOSH approved respirator for organic
solvent vapors. A dust mask does not provide protection against
vapors.
SKIN PROTECTION
Wear impermeable gloves. Gloves contaminated with product should be
discarded. Promptly remove clothing that becomes soiled with product.
EYE PROTECTION
Safety glasses, chemical goggles or face shields are recommended
to safeguard against potential eye contact, irritation, or injury.
Contact lenses should not be worn while working with chemicals.
OTHER PROTECTION
Various application methods can dictate use of additional protective
safety equipment, such as impermeable aprons, etc., to minimize expo-

sure. A source of clean water should be available in the work area
for flushing eyes and skin. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in the work
area. Wash hands thoroughly after use. Before reuse, thoroughly
clean any clothing or protective equipment that has been contaminated
by prior use. Discard any clothing or other protective equipment that
cannot be decontaminated, such as gloves or shoes.
