Personal Precautions Use personal protective equipment. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact None. Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. Environmental Precautions Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system. Should not be released into the environment. Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Prevent product from entering drains. Water spill: This product is regulated as oil under the Clean Water Act. Follow all applicable regulations. Unsuitable Extinguishing Media

Methods for Containment Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Sensitivity to Static Discharge None.
Methods for Cleaning Up Use personal protective equipment. Dam up. Cover liquid spill with sand, earth or other noncombustible absorbent material. Soak up with inert absorbent material. Take up mechanically and collect in suitable container for disposal. Clean contaminated surface thoroughly. Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire. Hazardous Combustion Products

Other information Refer to protective measures listed in Sections 7 and 8. Explosion Data



### 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Specific hazards arising from the chemical Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors. In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Heating of containers may cause pressure rise, with risk of bursting. Avoid prolonged contact with rags or other porous materials - may spontaneously combust. Always store rags used for wiping purposes that may have contacted this product in an appropriate metal container. Carbon monoxide (CO). Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). Nitrogen oxides (NOx). Sulfur oxides (SO x ). Phosphorus oxides (PO x ). Hydrocarbons. Decomposes in a fire giving off toxic fumes and dense clouds of smoke.

### _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Revision Date: 17-May-2012 Personal Protective Equipment 9.1 Information on Basic Physical and Chemical Properties Exposure Guidelines Physical State: Liquid Eye/Face Protection Tightly fitting safety goggles. If splashes are likely to occur, wear: Goggles, Face-shield. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Do not breathe vapors or spray mist. Wear personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Handle product only in closed system or provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery. Never pierce, drill, grind, cut, saw or weld any empty container. Persons with history of dermal or respiratory sensitization should not work with or near this chemical. There is a hazard associated with rags, paper or any other material used to remove spills which become soaked with product. Avoid accumulation of these: they are to be disposed off safely after use. Skin and Body Protection Impervious gloves. Boots. Chemical resistant apron. When handling hot material, use heat resistant gloves. Wear protective gloves and additional protective clothing as necessary to prevent exposures. Technical Measures/Storage Conditions Respiratory Protection If exposure limits are exceeded or irritation is experienced, NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection should be worn. Positive-pressure supplied air respirators may be required for high airborne contaminant concentrations. Respiratory protection must be provided in accordance with current local regulations. 

### 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
