Fire Fighting:
Fire Fighting Instructions: Evacuate area. Prevent runoff from fire control or dilution from entering streams, sewers, or drinking water supply.

Unusual Fire Hazards: Hazardous material. Firefighters should consider protective equipment indicated in Section 8.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Incomplete combustion products, oxides of carbon, smoke, fume
Flammability Properties
Flash Point [Method]: 97°C (207°F) [ASTM D-93]
Flammable Limits (Approximate volume % in air): LEL: 0.5 UEL: 4.9
Auto ignition Temperature: 247°C (477°F) [ASTM E 659]
Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Notification Procedures
In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable regulations. US regulations require reporting releases of this material to the environment which exceed the applicable reportable quantity or oil spills which could reach any waterway including intermittent dry creeks. The National Response Center can be reached at (800) 424-8802.
Protective Measures
Avoid contact with spilled material. See Section 5 for firefighting information. See the Hazard Identification Section for Significant Hazards. See Section 4 for First Aid Advice. See Section 8 for advice on the minimum requirements for personal protective equipment. Additional protective measures may be necessary, depending on the specific circumstances and/or the expert judgment of the emergency responders.
For emergency responders: Respiratory protection: half-face or full-face respirator with filter(s) for organic vapor and, when applicable, H2S, or Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) can be used depending on the size of the spill and potential level of exposure. If the exposure cannot be completely characterized or an oxygen deficient atmosphere is possible or anticipated, SCBA is recommended. Work gloves that are resistant to aromatic hydrocarbons are recommended. Note: gloves made of polyvinyl acetate (PVA) are not water-resistant and are not suitable for emergency use. Chemical goggles are recommended if splashes or contact with eyes is possible. Small spills: normal antistatic work clothes are usually adequate. Large spills: full body suit of chemical resistant, antistatic material is recommended.
Spill Management
Land Spill: Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand, or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers. Recover by pumping or with suitable absorbent.
Water Spill: Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Warn other shipping. Remove from the surface by skimming or with suitable absorbents. Seek the advice of a specialist before using dispersants.
Water spill and land spill recommendations are based on the most likely spill scenario for this material; however, geographic conditions, such as wind, temperature, (and in the case of a water spill) wave and current direction, and speed may greatly influence the appropriate action to be taken. For this reason, local experts should be consulted. Note: Local regulations may prescribe or limit action to be taken.
Environmental Precautions
Large Spills: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later recovery and disposal. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements, or confined areas.
Section 7. Handling AND Storage
Handling
Avoid contact with skin. Prevent small spills and leakage to avoid slip hazard. Material can accumulate static charges which may cause an electrical spark (ignition source). When the material is handled in bulk, an electrical spark could ignite any flammable vapors from liquids or residues that may be present (e.g., during switch-loading operations). Use proper bonding and/or ground procedures. However, bonding and grounds may not eliminate the hazard from static accumulation. Consult local applicable standards for guidance. Additional references include American Petroleum Institute 2003 (Protection Against Ignitions Arising out of Static, Lightning, and Stray Currents) or National Fire Protection Agency 77 (Recommended Practice on Static Electricity) or CENELEC CLC/TR 50404 (Electrostatics - Code of practice for the avoidance of hazards due to static electricity).
Loading/Unloading Temperature: [Ambient]
Transport Temperature: [Ambient]
Transport Pressure: [Ambient]
Static Accumulator: This material is a static accumulator. A liquid is typically considered a nonconductive, static accumulator if its conductivity is below 100 pS/m (100x10E-12 Siemens per meter) and is considered a semi-conductive, static accumulator if its conductivity is below 10,000 pS/m. Whether a liquid is nonconductive or semi-conductive, the precautions are the same. A number of factors, for example, liquid temperature, presence of contaminants, anti-static additives, and filtration can greatly influence the conductivity of a liquid.
Storage
The container choice, for example, a storage vessel, may effect static accumulation and dissipation. Do not store in open or unlabeled containers.
Storage Temperature: [Ambient]
Storage Pressure: [Ambient]
Suitable Containers/Packing: Tankers; Tank Trucks; Railcars; Barges; Drums
Suitable Materials and Coatings (Chemical Compatibility): Neoprene; Epoxies; Epoxy Phenolics; Polyamide; Polyethylene; Polypropylene; Polyester; Teflon; Carbon Steel; Stainless Steel
Unsuitable Materials and Coatings: Natural Rubber; Ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM); Polystyrene; Butyl Rubber
Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Exposure Limit Values
Exposure limits/standards (Note: Exposure limits are not additive)
| Substance Name | Form | Limit / Standard | Note | Source | ||
| Distillates (Petroleum), Hydrotreated Light | Vapor | RCP - TWA | 152 ppm | 1200 mg/m3 | Total Hydrocarbons | ExxonMobil |
NOTE: Limits/standards shown for guidance only. Follow applicable regulations.
No biological limits allocated.
Engineering Controls
The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary depending upon potential exposure conditions. Control measures to consider: Adequate ventilation should be provided so that exposure limits are not exceeded. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.
Personal Protection
Personal protective equipment selections vary based on potential exposure conditions such as applications, handling practices, concentration, and ventilation. Information on the selection of protective equipment for use with this material, as provided below, is based upon intended normal usage.
Respiratory Protection: If engineering controls do not maintain airborne contaminant concentrations at a level which is adequate to protect worker health, an approved respirator may be appropriate. Respirator selection, use, and maintenance must be in accordance with regulatory requirements, if applicable. Types of respirators to be considered for this material include half-face filter respirator.
For high airborne concentrations, use an approved supplied-air respirator, operated in positive pressure mode. Supplied air respirators with an escape bottle may be appropriate when oxygen levels are inadequate, gas/vapor warning properties are poor, or if air purifying filter capacity/rating may be exceeded.
Hand Protection: Any specific glove information provided is based on published literature and glove manufacturer data. Glove suitability and breakthrough time will differ depending on the specific use conditions. Contact the glove manufacturer for specific advice on glove selection and breakthrough times for your use conditions. Inspect and replace worn or damaged gloves. If prolonged or repeated contact is likely, chemical resistant gloves are recommended. If contact with forearms is likely, wear gauntlet style gloves.
Eye Protection: If contact is likely, safety glasses with side shields are recommended.
Skin and Body Protection: Any specific clothing information provided is based on published literature or manufacturer data. If prolonged or repeated contact is likely, chemical and oil resistant clothing are recommended.
Specific Hygiene Measures: Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants. Discard contaminated clothing and footwear that cannot be cleaned. Practice good housekeeping.
Environmental Controls
Comply with applicable environmental regulations limiting discharge to air, water, and soil. Protect the environment by applying appropriate control measures to prevent or limit emissions.
