5.3 PROTECTION OF FIRE FIGHTERS

Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Water may not effectively extinguish fire; however, it should be used to keep fire-exposed
containers and surfaces cool and prevent explosive rupture. Wear full protective equipment (Bunker Gear) and a self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA).

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Closed containers exposed to heat from fire may build pressure and explode. Vapors may
travel long distances along the ground or floor to an ignition source and flash back. Not applicable. Combustible liquid and vapor.
Flammable liquid and vapor.

Note: See STABILITY AND REACTIVITY (SECTION 10) for hazardous combustion and thermal decomposition
information.

SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Accidental Release Measures: Evacuate unprotected and untrained personnel from hazard area. The spill should be cleaned up by
qualified personnel. Ventilate the area with fresh air. For large spill, or spills in confined spaces, provide mechanical ventilation to
disperse or exhaust vapors, in accordance with good industrial hygiene practice. Warning! A motor could be an ignition source and
could cause flammable gases or vapors in the spill area to burn or explode. Contain spill. For larger spills, cover drains and build
dikes to prevent entry into sewer systems or bodies of water. Working from around the edges of the spill inward, cover with
bentonite, vermiculite, or commercially available inorganic absorbent material. Mix in sufficient absorbent until it appears dry.
Collect as much of the spilled material as possible. Place in a closed container approved for transportation by appropriate authorities.
Place in a metal container approved for transportation by appropriate authorities. Seal the container.

In the event of a release of this material, the user should determine if the release qualifies as reportable according to
local, state, and federal regulations.

SECTION 16: OTHER INFORMATION

NFPA Hazard Classification
Health: 2 Flammability: 2 Reactivity: 0 Special Hazards: None

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) hazard ratings are designed for use by emergency response personnel to address the hazards that are
presented by short-term, acute exposure to a material under conditions of fire, spill, or similar emergencies. Hazard ratings are primarily based on the
inherent physical and toxic properties of the material but also include the toxic properties of combustion or decomposition products that are known to
be generated in significant quantities.

HMIS Hazard Classification

Health: 2 Flammability: 2 Reactivity: 0 Protection: B

Hazardous Material Identification System (HMIS®) hazard ratings are designed to inform employees of chemical hazards in the workplace. These
ratings are based on the inherent properties of the material under expected conditions of normal use and are not intended for use in emergency
situations. HMIS® ratings are to be used with a fully implemented HMIS® program. HMIS® is a registered mark of the National Paint and Coatings
Association (NPCA).
