See Section 9 for Flammability Properties 

Moderate fire hazard. Vapor/air mixtures are explosive above flash point. The vapor is heavier than air. Vapors or gases may ignite at distant ignition sources and flash back. 

regular dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water, regular foam 

Large fires: Use regular foam or flood with fine water spray. 

Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Do not get water inside container. Cool containers with water spray until well after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or any discoloration of tanks due to fire. For tank, rail car or tank truck, evacuation radius: 800 meters (1/2 mile). Do not attempt to extinguish fire unless flow of material can be stopped first. Cool containers with water spray until well after the fire is out. Apply water from a protected location or from a safe distance. Do not get water directly on material. Large fires: Flood with fine water spray. Reduce vapors with water spray. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion by-products. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas. 

Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition. Do not touch spilled material. Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Reduce vapors with water spray. Do not get water inside container. Small spills: Absorb with sand or other non-combustible material. Collect spilled material in appropriate container for disposal. Large spills: Dike for later disposal. Remove sources of ignition. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Notify Local Emergency Planning Committee and State Emergency Response Commission for release greater than or equal to RQ (U.S. SARA Section 304). If release occurs in the U.S. and is reportable under CERCLA Section 103, notify the National Response Center at (800)424-8802 (USA) or (202)426-2675 (USA). 

Store and handle in accordance with all current regulations and standards. Subject to storage regulations: U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106. Grounding and bonding required. Keep separated from incompatible substances. 

Component Exposure Limits 

Biological limit value 

Provide local exhaust or process enclosure ventilation system. Ventilation equipment should be explosion-resistant if explosive concentrations of material are present. 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 supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece that is operated in a 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. 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. 

Stable at normal temperatures and pressure. Stable at normal temperatures and pressure.

Component Carcinogenicity

None of this product's components are listed by ACGIH, IARC, NTP, DFG or OSHA

PROPIONIC ACID: Inhalation of vapors may cause mucous membrane irritation with sore throat and dyspnea One case of mild cough and an asthmatic response has been reported No deaths occurred in rats exposed to a saturated atmosphere for 8 hours ISOBUTYRIC ACID: Vapors may cause nasal irritation, sore throat, coughing, hoarseness and in extreme exposures, difficulty breathing and lung edema The maximum exposure time to a concentrated vapor with no deaths after a 14 day observation period was 8 hours in rats.

ISOBUTYRIC ACID: No data available PROPIONIC ACID: Depending on the concentration and duration of exposure, repeated or prolonged exposure to corrosive substances may cause inflammatory and ulcerative changes in the mouth and possibly bronchial and gastrointestinal disturbances.

ISOBUTYRIC ACID: The liquid may cause redness, pain, burns, blistering and tissue destruction Some necrosis was reported after 24 hours following application of 10 mg to rabbit skin The lethal dose reported in rabbits was 500 mg/kg PROPIONIC ACID: Contact may cause strong irritation with redness, pain, erythema and blistering Mild to moderate burns have been reported in workers occupationally exposed Application of 10 mg for 24 hours to rabbit skin produced tissue necrosis Propionic acid is rapidly absorbed through the skin and may produce death Application of 500 mg/kg to rabbit skin was lethal to half of the animals tested.

ISOBUTYRIC ACID: Repeated or prolonged contact may cause dermatitis with redness, dryness and itching PROPIONIC ACID: Effects are dependent upon concentration and duration of exposure Dermatitis or effects similar to those for acute exposure may occur.

ISOBUTYRIC ACID: Vapor or dilute solutions may cause burns with redness, pain and blurred vision Severe corneal burning from application of a 5% aqueous solution of an unspecified volume to rabbit eyes was reported Concentrated solutions may cause permanent damage PROPIONIC ACID: Vapors may cause mild redness, pain and blurred vision Contact with the liquid may cause burns Application of 990 ug of propionic acid to rabbit eyes caused severe injury, especially to the cornea, that graded 9 on a scale of 1-10 after 24 hours.

PROPIONIC ACID: Effects are dependent upon concentration and duration of exposure Conjunctivitis or effects similar to those for acute exposure may occur ISOBUTYRIC ACID: Effects depend on concentration and duration of exposure Repeated or prolonged contact with corrosive substances may result in conjunctivitis or effects as in acute exposure.

PROPIONIC ACID: Ingestion may cause sore throat, abdominal pain, vomiting desquamation and bleeding of the gastrointestinal tract ISOBUTYRIC ACID: May cause mild to severe irritation of the mouth and stomach with sore throat, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting The lethal dose reported in rats was 280 mg/kg.

PROPIONIC ACID: Rats fed 750 mg/kg per day of propionic acid as the sodium salt showed no changes in weight gain as compared with controls ISOBUTYRIC ACID: No data available.
