FIRST AID
==============================================================================
INHAL:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR IMMED. IF BRTHG HAS STOPPED, GIVE ARTF RESP. MAINTAIN
AIRWAY & BLOOD PRESS & ADMIN OXYG IF AVAIL. KEEP AFFECTED PERSON WARM
& AT REST. ADMIN OF OXYG SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERS. GET MED
ATTN IMMED. SKIN:R EMOVE CONTAMD CLTHG & SHOES IMMED. WASH AFFECTED AREA
W/SOAP/MILD DETERGENT & LG AMTS OF WATER UNTIL NO EVID OF CHEM REMAINS (AT
LST 15-20 MINS). IN (ING 12)

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
==============================================================================
Flash Point Text: 122F,50C
Auto Ignition Temperature Text:
Lower Limits: 18% Upper Limits: 57%
Extinguishing Media: DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE, HALON, WATER SPRAY, FOG OR
STANDARD FOAM.
Fire Fighting Procedures: NIOSH APPRVD SCBA & FULL PROT EQUIP (FP N). MOVE
CNTNRS FROM FIRE AREA IF POSS. COOL CNTNRS EXPOS TO FLAMES W/WATER FROM SIDE
UNTIL WELL AFTER FIRE IS (SUPDAT)
Unusal Fire/Explosion Hazard: MOD FIRE HAZ WHEN EXPOS TO HEAT/FLAME. VAPS ARE
HVR/AIR & MAY TRAVEL CONSIDERABLE DIST TO SOURCE OF IGNIT & FLASH BACK.
==============================================================================
RELEASE MEASURES
==============================================================================
Spill Release Procedures: DO NOT TOUCH. STOP LEAK. SM SPILLS, TAKE UP W/ABSORB
MATL, PLACE INTO CNTNRS FOR DISP. WITH CLEAN SHOVEL PLACE MATL INTO CLEAN, DRY
CNTNR & COVER. MOVE CNTNRS FROM SPILL AREA. LARGER SPILLS, DIKE FAR AHEAD
OF SPILL. KEEP UNNEC PEOPLE AWAY. (ING 17)
Neutralizing Agent: NEUT W/SLAKED LIME, SODIUM BICARBONATE/CRUSHED LIMESTONE.
CAUSTIC SODA.(ING 20)
Waste Disposal Methods: DISPOSAL MUST BE I/A/W FEDERAL, STATE & LOCAL
REGULATIONS (FP N).
==============================================================================
HANDLING AND STORAGE
==============================================================================
PROTECT AGAINST FREEZING & PHYSICAL DAMAGE. STORE IN COOL, DRY,
WELL-VENTILATED PLACE.
==============================================================================
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
==============================================================================
Respiratory Protection: NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR APPROPRIATE FOR EXPOSURE OF
CONCERN (FP N). FOR MORE SPECIFIC INFORMATION ON RESPIRATORS CONTACT NEHC (FP
N).
Ventilation: LOCAL EXHAUST OR PROCESS ENCLOSURE VENT TO MEET PUBLISHED EXPOSURE
LIMITS.
Protective Gloves: IMPERVIOUS GLOVES (FP N).
Eye Protection: ANSI APPRVD CHEM WORKERS GOGGLES (FP N).
Other Equipment: ANSI APPRVD EYE WASH & DELUGE SHOWER (FP N). IMPERVIOUS
CLTHG & EQUIP TO PVNT POSSIBILITY OF SKIN CONT W/SUBSTANCE.
Work Hygenic Practices: ANSI APPRVD EYE WASH & DELUGE SHOWER (FP N).
IMPERVIOUS CLTHG & EQUIP TO PVNT POSSIBILITY OF SKIN CONT W/SUBSTANCE.
Supplemental Safety & Health: FIRE FIGHT PROC:OUT. STAY AWAY FROM STOR TANK
ENDS. USE WATER IN FLOODING QTYS AS FOG, SOLID STREAMS MAY NOT BE EFTIVE. COOL
CNTNRS W/FLOODING AMTS OF WATER, APPLY FROM AS FAR A DIST AS POSS. AVOID BRTHG
CORR VAPS. KEEP UPWIND. FORMIC ACID: ALCOHOL FOAM. FIRE FIGHT PHASES:USE WATER
