SECTION 4. FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA

FLASH POINT, AUTOIGNITION SYSTEM, UPPER AND LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMITS (%);

Aqueous system, not determined.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:

Use water fog, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, or all-purpose foam.

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes. Use

water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Clear fire area of unprotected personnel and isolate.

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:

Product does not burn until all the water has evaporated but it may spatter if the temperature exceeds the

boiling point of water. Containers exposed to intense heat should be cooled with water to prevent vapor

pressure which could result in container rupture. Container areas exposed to direct flame contact should be

cooled with large quantities of water as needed to prevent weakening of container structure. Dried solids

can burn giving of oxides of carbon and nitrogen.

______________________________________________________________________________

SECTION 5. REACTIVITY DATA

STABILITY: Stable

INCOMPATIBILITY: Avoid heat, sparks, flame, and contact with strong acids and oxidizing

agents. Prevent vapor accumulation.

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:

Burning can produce carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and unidentified organic compounds.

HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.

______________________________________________________________________________

SECTION 6. HEALTH HAZARD DATA

A. EXPOSURE LIMITS:

OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) and Threshold Limit Value (ACGIH): Not established.

B. EFFECTS OF ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE:

INGESTION: No evidence of adverse reactions from available information.

INHALATION: Inhalation of vapors in a poorly ventilated area may be irritating to

the eyes, mucous membranes, and respiratory tract and may produce syptoms of headache, nausea,

and difficulty in breathing.

SKIN CONTACT: May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.

EYE CONTACT: Vapor may cause irritation and temporary disturbance of

vision. Liquid may produce irritation experienced as excess redness and swelling of the conjunctiva

with chemical burns to the cornea.

C. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES

INGESTION: Seek immediate medical help.

INHALATION: Remove from exposure to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. Seek immediate medical help.

EYE AND SKIN CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes

while holding eyelid open. Seek medical help. Wash skin with soap and water. Remove and wash

contaminated clothing before reuse.

SECTION 7. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE OF SPILL:

Restrict area to only those personnel needed. Wear appropriate respirator and protective clothing. Eliminate

all ignition sources. Handling equipment must be grounded to prevent sparking. Water fog may be useful in

suppressing vapor. Shut off source of leak only if safe to do so. Dike and contain spill with sand, clay, or other

suitable absorbent. Take up absorbed material and place in non-leaking containers for proper disposal.

WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS:

Incinerate. Observe all federal, state, and local laws concerning health and environment.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING

Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Since empty container retains product residue, follow warnings even

after container is emptied.

______________________________________________________________________________

SECTION 8. CONTROL MEASURES

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:

Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors. Use a NIOSH approved respirator to prevent overexposure. In accord

with 29 CFR 1910.134 use either an atmosphere supplying respirator or an air purifying respirator for organic

vapors.

VENTILATION:

Use explosion proof ventilation as required to control vapor concentrations.

EYE AND SKIN PROTECTION:

Safety goggles, impermeable gloves, and protective clothing should be worn. An impermeable apron or smock

should be worn to minimize skin contact.

OTHER CONTROL MEASURES:

A safety shower, an eye bath, and washing facilities should be available. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep

container closed when not in use.

______________________________________________________________________________

SECTION 9. SPECIAL STORAGE AND HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Keep liquid and vapor away from heat, sparks, and flame.

Avoid breathing vapors in top of shipping containers.

Keep containers closed.

Use with adequate ventilation.

Avoid contact with skin and clothing.

Wash thoroughly after handling,.

Ground and bond transfer equipment and containers.

For industrial use only.

Avoid contact with strong acids.
