Choose material suitable for surrounding fire. 5.2 Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Not specified. 5.3 Exposure Hazards: Exposure to extreme heat can give rise to thermal decomposition. 5.4 Combustion Products from Fire: Not determined. 5.5 Fire-Fighting Procedures: Wear full protective equipment and a self-contained breathing apparatus. No unusual effects are anticipated during fire extinguishing operations. Avoid breathing the products and substances that may result from the thermal decomposition of the product or the other substances in the fire zone. Keep containers cool with water spray when exposed to fire to avoid rupture. 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6.1 Personal Precautions: Please observe precautions from other sections of this Safety Data Sheet. 6.2 Methods for Cleaning up: Ventilate the area with fresh air. Contain spill. For large spill, or spills in confined spaces, provide mechanical ventilation to disperse or exhaust vapours, in accordance with good industrial hygiene practice. Warning! A motor could be an ignition source and could cause flammable gases or vapours in the spill area to burn or explode. For larger spills, cover drains and build dykes 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. Avoid contact with water. Collect as much of the spilled material as possible. Clean up residue with an appropriate organic solvent. Read and follow safety precautions on the solvent label and health and safety data sheet. Collect the resulting residue containing solution. Place in a metal container approved for transportation by appropriate authorities. Seal the container. Dispose of collected material as soon as possible. 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7.1 Precautions for Safe Handling: Keep container tightly closed. For industrial or professional use only. Avoid inhalation of vapours, mists or spray. 7.2 Precautions for Safe Storage: - Incompatible Materials/Conditions: Store away from heat. Store away from acids. 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8.1 Recommended Ventilation: Do not use in a confined area or areas with little or no air movement. Use general dilution ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne exposures to below Occupational Exposure Limits and/or control mist, vapour, or spray. If ventilation is not adequate, use respiratory protection equipment. For those situations where the fluid might be exposed to extreme overheating due to misuse or equipment failure, use with appropriate local exhaust ventilation sufficient to maintain levels of thermal decomposition products below their exposure guidelines. If ventilation is not adequate, use respiratory protection equipment. 8.2 Exposure Limits: None of the substances in the section 3 ingredient list are listed in the EH40 Exposure Limit Inventory. 8.3 Exposure Controls: 8.3.1 Eye Protection: Avoid eye contact. The following should be worn alone or in combination, as appropriate, to prevent eye contact: Safety glasses with side shields. 8.3.2 Hand Protection: Gloves are not required. 8.3.3 Skin Protection: Not specified. 8.3.4 Respiratory Protection: Avoid inhalation of vapours, mists or spray. Avoid inhalation of thermal decomposition products. During heating: Use a positive pressure supplied-air respirator if there is a potential for exposure from an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or under any other circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection. Select one of the following approved respirators based on airborne concentration of contaminants and in accordance with regulations: Half face piece or full face air-purifying respirator with organic vapour cartridges. 8.3.5 Ingestion: Not applicable. 9 PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Appearance and Odour: Odourless colourless to light coloured liquid. - pH: Not applicable - Boiling point/boiling range: 76 0C - Melting point/melting range: Not applicable - Flash point: Not applicable - Autoflammability: 375 0C - Flammable Limits - LEL: 210 g/m3 - Flammable Limits - UEL: 1070 g/m3 - Vapour pressure: 14532 Pa (at 25 :C) - Water Solubility: Not determined - Specific gravity: 1.43 (Water=1) - Vapour density: 1 9.1 (Air=1) - Evaporation rate: Not determined - Viscosity: Not determined - Percent Volatile: 98 % 10 STABILITY AND REACTIVITY ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10.1 Stability and Reactivity: Stable.
