HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS THERMAL DECOMPOSITION AND BURNING MAY PRODUCE THE FOLLOWING HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: CARBON MONOXIDE, HYDROGEN SULFIDE, NITROGEN OXIDES, AND OTHER TOXIC MATERIALS. UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA MOVE CONTAINER FORM FIRE AREA IF YOU CAN DO SO WITHOUT RISK. AVOID ANY CONTACT WITH WATER WHEN MATERIAL IS ABOVE 200 oF. APPLY COOLING WATER TO SIDES OF CONTAINERS THAT ARE EXPOSED TO FLAMES UNTIL WELL AFTER FIRE IS OUT. STAY AWAY FROM ENDS OF TANKS AND DRUMS - HEATED CONTAINERS MAY RUPTURE, EXPLODE OR BE THROWN INTO THE AIR. HEATED VAPORS MAY BE SENSITIVE TO STATIC DISCHARGE - RESULTING IN FIRE OR EXPLOSION. FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES CAUTION: WATER OR FOAM MAY CAUSE FROTHING. WITHDRAW IMMEDIATELY IN CASE OF RISING SOUND FROM VENTING SAFETY DEVICE OR DISCOLORATION OF TANK DUE TO FIRE. KEEP STORAGE CONTAINERS COOL WITH WATER SPRAY. USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS (SCBA). NFPA 704 RATING (0=LEAST, 4=EXTREME) : HEALTH=0, FIRE=1, REACTIVITY=0; HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE ACUTE: INHALED: HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPOR MIST MAY BE IRRITATING TO THE RESPIRATORY TRACT, INCLUDING NOSE AND THROAT. MAY CAUSE DIFFICULTY BREATHING. INHALATION OF HYDROGEN SULFIDE RELEASED FROM HOT PRODUCT IN ENCLOSED AREAS MAY PRODUCE UNCONSCIOUSNESS, CONVULSIONS, RESPIRATORY PARALYSIS, COMA AND DEATH. SKIN: THIS MATERIAL MAY CAUSE SKIN IRRITATION. PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT MAY CAUSE REDNESS, BURNING, AND DERMATITIS. CONTACT WITH HOT MATERIAL MAY CAUSE THERMAL BURNS. EYES: CONTACT MAY CAUSE SLIGHT TO MODERATE IRRITATION, INCLUDING BURNING, TEARING, AND REDNESS. CONTACT WITH HOT MATERIAL MAY CAUSE THERMAL BURNS. SWALLOWING (INGESTION): MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE DIGESTIVE TRACT, NAUSEA AND VOMITING. CHRONIC PROLONGED AND/OR REPEATED SKIN CONTACT MAY CAUSE DRYING AND CRACKING OR DERMATITIS. PROLONGED OR REPEATED SKIN EXPOSURE TO HOT VAPORS MAY CAUSE PHOTO SENSITIZATION AND MELANOSIS. EXCESS EYE EXPOSURE TO HOT VAPORS MAY CAUSE CONJUNCTIVITIS. MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE CONTACT WITH SKIN MAY AGGRAVATE PRE-EXISTING DERMATITIS. INDIVIDUALS WITH PRE-EXISTING LUNG OR CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISORDERS MAY HAVE INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO THE EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE. CARCINOGENICITY NO INGREDIENTS OF THIS PRODUCT, PRESENT AT EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN 0.1% OF THE PRODUCT, ARE LISTED BY OSHA, NTP OR IARC AS SUSPECTED CARCINOGENS. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES INHALED (BREATHING): REMOVE TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF THERE IS DIFFICULTY BREATHING OR IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED, OXYGEN OR ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION SHOULD BE ADMINISTERED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. DO NOT LEAVE VICTIM UNATTENDED. SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION IF NECESSARY. SKIN: REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES. DO NOT USE GASOLINE, THINNERS OR SOLVENTS TO REMOVE PRODUCT FROM SKIN. IMMEDIATELY COOL AFFECTED AREA BY FLUSHING OR IMMERSING IN WATER UNTIL MATERIAL SOLIDIFIES. DO NOT REMOVE SOLIDIFIED MATERIALS AS THIS MIGHT CAUSE TEARING OF THE SKIN. COVER AREA WITH STERILE DRY DRESSING, AND CONSULT A PHYSICIAN. EYES: DIRECT CONTACT, FLUSH EYES WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES LIFTING UPPER AND LOWER LIDS OCCASIONALLY. CONSULT PHYSICIAN IF IRRITATION OR PAIN PERSISTS. SWALLOWING (INGESTION): DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING, BECAUSE MATERIAL CAN ENTER THE LUNGS AND CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE. DRINK 4 TO 8 OUNCES OF WATER AND SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. IF VOMITING OCCURS, OR IF COMATOSE OR LETHARGIC, PLACE ON THE LEFT SIDE WITH THE HEAD DOWN - SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: ADMINISTRATION OF GASTRIC LAVAGE, IF WARRANTED, SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED MEDICAL PERSONNEL. REACTIVITY DATA STABILITY: STABLE, NOT REACTIVE WITH WATER. INCOMPATIBILITY: MAY REACT WITH STRONG OXIDIZING AGENTS, SUCH AS; CHLORATES, NITRATES AND PEROXIDES. AVOID SPARKS AND FLAMES. AVOID CONTACT WITH WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS WHEN MATERIAL IS HOT. HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: NOT KNOWN TO OCCUR UNDER NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURES. HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION: NO DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS UNDER NORMAL PRODUCT CONDITIONS SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS: READ AND OBSERVE ALL PRECAUTIONS ON PRODUCT LABEL. DO NO WELD, HEAT OR DRILL CONTAINER. RESIDUE MAY IGNITE WITH EXPLOSIVE VIOLENCE IF HEATED SUFFICIENTLY. CAUTION..DO NOT USE PRESSURE TO EMPTY DRUM OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT.

SPECIAL HANDLING INFORMATION VENTILATION AND HANDLING PRECAUTIONS KEEP AWAY FORM HEAT, SPARKS AND FLAMES. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES AND SKIN, AND AVOID BREATHING VAPORS OR MISTS. AVOID GENERATING OIL MISTS. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION WHEN AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS EXCEED RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE LIMITS, A MSHA/NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE WORN, SUCH AS AN ORGANIC VAPOR AND HYDROGEN SULFIDE FILTERED REPIRATOR. A SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS (SCBA) IS REQUIRED FOR FIRE EMERGENCIES. EYE PROTECTION WHERE THERE IS A LIKELIHOOD OF A SPILL OR SPLASH, WEAR CHEMICAL GOGGLES AND FACE SHIELD. CONTACT LENSES SHOULD NOT BE WORN. HAND PROTECTION USE NEOPRENE, NITRILE RUBBER, OR EQUIVALENT GLOVES TO PREVENT CONTACT WITH THE SKIN. FOR DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT MATERIAL, USE COMBINATION TEMPERATURE RESISTANT AND CHEMICAL PROTECTIVE GLOVES. OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WEAR APPROPRIATE BOOTS, COVERALLS OR OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WHERE SPILLS AND SPLASHES ARE POSSIBLE. A SOURCE OF CLEAN WATER SHOULD BE AVAILABLE IN WORK AREAS FOR FLUSHING THE EYES AND SKIN IF NECESSARY. STORAGE STORE IN A COOL , DRY LOCATION. KEEP AWAY FROM INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS.
