Extinguishing Media – Carbon dioxide foam, dry chemical, and water fog.

Fire Fighting Procedures –A self-contained breathing apparatus with a full face piece operating in a positive pressure mode may be required.  Avoid using a water stream to prevent frothing.  Water or foam may cause frothing which can be violent and may present a life threatening situation.  Frothing is most likely to occur when streams of wter or foam are sprayed into hot or burning containers.

Fire and Explosion Hazards – Never use a welding or cutting torch on or near drums of this material (even empty drums) because the material can ignite explosively.

Hazardous Products of Combustion – Carbon monoxide and other organic compounds may be formed upon combustion.

Signs and symptoms of Exposure:

Eyes—Severe irritation including redness, tearing and blurred vision.

Skin—Prolonged or repeated contact may cause skin irritation and/or dermatitis.

Inhalation—Breathing the fumes from these materials, particularly when they are heated and/or in an enclosed space may cause headache, nausea, and feeling of dizziness or weakness.  Fumes from these materials can irritate the nose, throat and lungs.  Prolonged exposure to high levels of fumes may result in loss of consciousness and in rare instances death as a result of being unable to breathe.

Ingestion— Swallowing these materials can cause irritation of the mouth, throat, and stomach.  Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea may result from ingestion.  However, it is unlikely that people working with these materials would swallow them.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated –None Known

Emergency and First Aid Procedures. 

Eyes—If these materials get into the eyes flush the person’s eyes with large amounts of water for at least fifteen (15) minutes.  Be certain to lift the upper and lower lids to ensure that all of the material is flushed out of the eyes.  Contact a physician.

Skin—Immediately remove any contaminated clothing and wash the affected areas of skin with soap and water.  Launder contaminated items of clothing before wearing.  If skin irritation or redness persists or develops after exposure, contact a physician. 

Inhalation—Move the individual to fresh air away from fumes.  If he/she is having difficulty breathing or is not fully conscious, administer oxygen and obtain immediate medical attention.

Ingestion—Do not induce vomiting.  Vomiting can cause the material to be aspirated into the lungs, causing chemical pneumonitis.  This can be fatal.  Keep the person warm and quiet.  Obtain immediate medical attention.

Section VII – Precautions For Safe Handling and Use

Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled.

Small Spills: Scoop up material into a suitable container.  The material can be reused.

Large Spill: Same as for a small spill.  The material can be reused.

Waste Disposal Method – Use old material as a base under fresh product.

Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing –

Store in well ventilated area away from heat and flame.  Dispose of used containers according to local state, and federal requirements.

Section VIII – Control Measures

Respiratory Protection (Specify Type) –

Respiratory protection should not be required when handling these products in open air.  However, if these materials are being handled in a confined area, wear a respirator with a NIOSH approved organic vapor respiratory cartridge, or NOISH approved air supplied breathing equipment to prevent inhaling fumes.  A respirator is only required when working with this material in a confined or inadequately ventilated area.  Provide sufficient ventilation (mechanical ventilation such as a general or local exhaust system) to prevent vapors from accumulating and to maintain exposure levels below TLV(s).

Protective Gloves –

Wear gloves

Eye Protection –

Wear a face shield or safety glasses.

Other protective Clothing or Equipment – Impervious clothing and shoes.

Work/Hygienic Practices – Observe good hygiene.  Wash hands thoroughly after eating, drinking, and using restrooms, etc.
