When fire fighting conditions are severe and total thermal decomposition of the product is possible, wear full protective 

clothing, including helmet, self-contained, positive pressure or pressure demand breathing apparatus, bunker coat and pants, 

bands around arms, waist and legs, face mask, and protective covering for exposed areas of the head.

Section 6:

6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Evacuate area. Ventilate the area with fresh air. Refer to other sections of this SDS for information regarding physical and 

health hazards, respiratory protection, ventilation, and personal protective equipment.

6.2. Environmental precautions

Avoid release to the environment. For larger spills, cover drains and build dikes to prevent entry into sewer systems or 

bodies of water.

6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Contain spill. 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. Remember, adding an absorbent 

material does not remove a physical, health, or environmental hazard. Collect as much of the spilled material as possible. 

Place in a closed container approved for transportation by appropriate authorities. Clean up residue with an appropriate 

solvent selected by a qualified and authorized person. Ventilate the area with fresh air. Read and follow safety precautions

on the solvent label and SDS. Seal the container. Dispose of collected material as soon as possible.

when using this product. Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid release to the environment. Use personal protective 

equipment (gloves, respirators, etc.) as required.

8.2. Exposure controls

8.2.1. Engineering controls

Provide appropriate local exhaust when product is heated. Use general dilution ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilation to 

control airborne exposures to below relevant Exposure Limits and/or control dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. If ventilation is 

not adequate, use respiratory protection equipment.

8.2.2. Personal protective equipment (PPE)

Eye/face protection

None required.

Skin/hand protection

Select and use gloves and/or protective clothing approved to relevant local standards to prevent skin contact based on the 

results of an exposure assessment. Selection should be based on use factors such as exposure levels, concentration of the 

substance or mixture, frequency and duration, physical challenges such as temperature extremes, and other use conditions. 

Consult with your glove and/or protective clothing manufacturer for selection of appropriate compatible gloves/protective 

clothing. Note: Nitrile gloves may be worn over polymer laminate gloves to improve dexterity.

Gloves made from the following material(s) are recommended: Polymer laminate

Respiratory protection

An exposure assessment may be needed to decide if a respirator is required. If a respirator is needed, use respirators as part 

of a full respiratory protection program. Based on the results of the exposure assessment, select from the following respirator 

type(s) to reduce inhalation exposure: 

During heating: 

Use a positive pressure supplied-air respirator if there is a potential for over exposure from an uncontrolled release, 

exposure levels are not known, or under any other circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide 

adequate protection. 

Half facepiece or full facepiece air-purifying respirator suitable for organic vapors and particulates

For questions about suitability for a specific application, consult with your respirator manufacturer.

Section 16:

NFPA Hazard Classification

Health: 3 Flammability: 0 Instability: 0 Special Hazards: None

 

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) hazard ratings are designed for use by emergency response personnel to address 

the hazards that are presented by short-term, acute exposure to a material under conditions of fire, spill, or similar 

emergencies. Hazard ratings are primarily based on the inherent physical and toxic properties of the material but also include 

the toxic properties of combustion or decomposition products that are known to be generated in significant quantities.

 

HMIS Hazard Classification

Health: *3 Flammability: 0 Physical Hazard: 0 Personal Protection: X - See PPE section. 

Hazardous Material Identification System (HMIS® III) hazard ratings are designed to inform employees of chemical hazards 

in the workplace. These ratings are based on the inherent properties of the material under expected conditions of normal use 

and are not intended for use in emergency situations. HMIS® III ratings are to be used with a fully implemented HMIS® III 

program. HMIS® is a registered mark of the American Coatings Association (ACA).
