eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.

5. === Fire Fighting Measures ===

Fire:
Flash point: -4C (25F) CC
Autoignition temperature: 426C (799F)
Flammable limits in air % by volume:
lel: 2.0; uel: 11.5
Flammable Liquid and Vapor! Contact with strong oxidizers may cause fire.
Explosion:
Above flash point, vapor-air mixtures are explosive within flammable limits noted above. Sealed
containers may rupture when heated. Sensitive to static discharge.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide. Water may be ineffective. Water
spray may be used to keep fire exposed containers cool.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing
apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
Water may be used to flush spills away from exposures and to dilute spills to non-flammable
mixtures. Vapors can flow along surfaces to distant ignition source and flash back.
6. === Accidental Release Measures ===
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate personal
protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and
unprotected personnel from entering. Contain and recover liquid when possible. Use non-
sparking tools and equipment. Collect liquid in an appropriate container or absorb with an inert
material (e. g., vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place in a chemical waste container. Do not use
combustible materials, such as saw dust. Do not flush to sewer! US Regulations (CERCLA)
require reporting spills and releases to soil, water and air in excess of reportable quantities. The
toll free number for the US Coast Guard National Response Center is (800) 424-8802. If a leak
or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapors, to protect personnel attempting to
stop leak, and to flush spills away from exposures.

7. === Handling and Storage ===

Protect against physical damage. Store in a cool, dry well-ventilated location, away from any
area where the fire hazard may be acute. Outside or detached storage is preferred. Separate from
incompatibles. Containers should be bonded and grounded for transfers to avoid static sparks.
Storage and use areas should be No Smoking areas. Use non-sparking type tools and equipment,
including explosion proof ventilation. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty
since they retain product residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for
the product.

8. === Exposure Controls /Personal Protection ===

Airborne Exposure Limits:
-OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL): 400 ppm (TWA)

-ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV): 400 ppm (TWA), A4 - Not classifiable as a human
carcinogen.

Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the
Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control
the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work
area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended
Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a full facepiece
respirator with organic vapor cartridge may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit or the
maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator
supplier, whichever is lowest. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not
known, use a full-facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air purifying
respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as
appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye
wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
