Lower:

Upper:

Extinguishing Media:

Foam, alcohol foam, CO2, dry chemical, water fog

Fire Fighting Precautions & Hazards:

Fire fighters should wear butyl rubber boots, gloves, and body suit and a

NIOSH/MSHA self-contained breathing apparatus.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:

Not a fire or explosion hazard when stored under normal conditions.

Section V – Reactivity Data
Stability:	Stable
Conditions to Avoid:		Extremes in temperature. High humidity.
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid):				Long term storage in direct contact with reactive metals such as aluminum,
zinc, copper, nickel, magnesium, etc. Other materials to avoid include strong oxidizing agents.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:					When involved in a fire, burning may evolve noxious fumes which may
include carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxides, acetic acid, or other toxic compounds depending on the chemical composition and combustion conditions. However, all of the water must be driven off first for this to occur.
Hazardous Polymerization:			Will not occur.

Section VI - Health Hazard Data
Inhalation Health Risks and Symptoms of Exposure:					Prolonged inhalation may lead to respiratory tract
irritation.
Skin and Eye Contact Health Risks and Symptoms of Exposure:								Prolonged or repeated contact may result in
mechanical irritation.
Skin Absorption Health risks and Symptoms of Exposure:							None expected. Temporary discoloration of skin may
occur.
Ingestion Health Risks and Symptoms of Exposure:					Ingestion of large quantities may be harmful.
Health Hazards (acute and chronic):				None known.
Carcinogenicity	NTP?	No	IARC Monographs?			No
Existing Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated By Exposure:								May provoke asthmatic response in persons
with asthma who are sensitive to airway irritants. May cause mechanical irritation to skin and eyes.

Section VI - Health Hazard Data (Continued)

Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Eyes:	Flush with flowing water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.
Skin:	Wash affected area with soap and water. If irritation develops consult a physician. Remove and launder
contaminated clothing before reuse.
Inhalation:			If difficulty in breathing occurs, move to fresh air. Get immediate medical attention.
Ingestion:		Get immediate medical attention. Unless advised otherwise, dilute with water or milk.

Section VII – Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled:				Contain the spill to prevent a large discharge to
surface streams or storm sewers. Since landfill operations will not accept liquid waste, allow to dry if possible before
collecting for disposal. An absorbent material would aid in cleaning up a liquid spill. If liquid cleanup is necessary, collect
in drums, buckets, or other containers. Scrub spill area with detergent and flush with copious amounts of water.
Waste Disposal Method:		The environmental concern is discoloration of land or water. If possible, the product
should be dried before disposal. Disposal must be made in accordance with federal, state, and local regulation.
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing:			Local exhaust. Do not freeze. Avoid unnecessary skin
contact. Do not breathe fumes.
Other Precautions:	Eye wash fountains should be easily accessible. As with all chemicals, keep out of the reach of
children.

Section VIII - Control Measures
Respiratory:					If excessive vapors or mists are generated, wear NIOSH/MSHA approved organic vapor/mist respirator.
Ventilation:				Use local exhaust to control excessive vapors/mists. If applicable, proper personal protection is a
NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator.
Clothing:			Gloves, coveralls, apron, boots as necessary to prevent skin contact as needed.
Eye:	Chemical goggles; wear face shield if splashing hazard exists.
Other:		Open wounds or skin surface disruptions should be covered with a chemical resistant patch to minimize
absorption risks. Clean clothing should be worn daily to avoid possible long-term build up of the product leading to chronic overexposure.
