See Section 9 for Flammability Properties 

Moderate fire hazard. Severe explosion hazard. Dust/air mixtures may ignite or explode. Flood with water. If no water is available, use dry chemical or earth. 

For fires in cargo or storage area: Cool containers with water from unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles until well after fire is out. If this is impossible then take the following precautions: Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Let the fire burn. 

Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition. Do not touch spilled material. Small spills: Flood with water. Large spills: Wet down area with water. Dike for later disposal. Remove sources of ignition. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. 

Store and handle in accordance with all current regulations and standards. Keep separated from incompatible substances. Store at room temperature. Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition. 

Component Exposure Limits 

Biological limit value 

Based on available information, additional ventilation is not required. Ensure compliance with applicable exposure limits. 

Eyes/Face Wear splash resistant safety goggles with a faceshield. Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in the immediate work area. 

Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. 

Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. 

Under conditions of frequent use or heavy exposure, respiratory protection may be needed. Respiratory protection is ranked in order from minimum to maximum. Consider warning properties before use. Any air-purifying half-mask respirator equipped with organic vapor cartridge(s) in combination with an N95, R95, or P95 filter. The following filters may also be used: N99, R99, P99, N100, R100 or P100. Any air-purifying full-facepiece respirator (gas mask) with a chin-style, front-mounted or back-mounted organic vapor canister having an N100, R100, or P100 filter. Any powered, air-purifying respirator with a tight-fitting facepiece, organic vapor cartridge(s) and high-efficiency particulate filter(s). Any supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. For Unknown Concentrations or Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health - Any supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode in combination with an auxiliary self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. Any self-contained breathing apparatus that has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode.
