Flammable Limits LEL (%): N/A
Flammable Limits UEL (%): N/A
Extinguishing Media:

Use any suitable for adjacent material.

Fire Fighting Procedures:

Wear self?contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.

Fire &Explosion Hazards:

EM SCIENCE recommends SPILL?X neutralizers and absorbent agents for various types of spills. Additional
information on the SPILL?X products can be provided through the EM SCIENCE Technical Service
Department (856) 423??6300. The following EM SCIENCE SPILL?X neutralizer and absorbent is
recommended for this product:

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE


Handling &Storage:
Keep container closed. Do not breathe vapor. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION


ENGINEERING CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
Ventilation, Respiratory Protection, Protective Clothing, Eye Protection:
Respiratory Protection: If workplace exposure limit(s) of product or any component is exceeded (see
TLV/PEL), a NIOSH/MSHA approved air supplied respirator is advised in absence of proper environmental
control. OSHA regulations also permit other NIOSH/MSHA respirators (negative pressure type) under


3
specified conditions (see your safety equipment supplier). Engineering and/or administrative controls should
be implemented to reduce exposure. Material should be handled or transferred in an approved fume hood or
with adequate ventilation. Protective gloves must be worn to prevent skin contact (Neoprene or equivalent)
Safety glasses with side shields must be worn at all times. Impervious protective clothing should be worn to
prevent skin contact.

Work/Hygenic Practices:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not take internally. Eye wash and safety equipment should be readily
available.
