Warning
Combustible liquid. May cause an allergic skin reaction. Causes serious eye irritation.

Keep away from flames and hot surfaces-No smoking. Avoid breathing mist or vapor. Wash
thoroughly after handling. Contaminated work clothing must not be allowed out of the workplace.
Wear protective gloves/eye protection/face protection.

If on skin: Wash with plenty of water. If in eyes: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes.
Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If skin irritation or rash
occurs: Get medical advice/attention. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention. Wash
contaminated clothing before reuse. In case of fire: Use appropriate media to extinguish.

Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep cool.
Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local/regional/national/international regulations.
Frequent or prolonged contact may defat and dry the skin, leading to discomfort and dermatitis.

Static accumulating flammable liquid can become electrostatically charged even in bonded and
grounded equipment. Sparks may ignite liquid and vapor. May cause flash fire or explosion.

General information

Move to fresh air.
Remove contaminated clothing immediately and wash skin with soap and water. In case of

eczema or other skin disorders: Seek medical attention and take along these instructions.
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if

present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.
Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Severe eye irritation. Symptoms may include stinging, tearing, redness, swelling, and blurred

vision. Irritation of nose and throat. May cause an allergic skin reaction. Dermatitis. Rash.

Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. Keep victim under observation.
Symptoms may be delayed.

Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to
protect themselves. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

equipment/instructions

Specific methods
General fire hazards

Alcohol resistant foam. Water fog. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide,
sand or earth may be used for small fires only.

Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.

The product is combustible, and heating may generate vapors which may form explosive vapor/air
mixtures. This product is a poor conductor of electricity and can become electrostatically charged.
If sufficient charge is accumulated, ignition of flammable mixtures can occur. To reduce potential
for static discharge, use proper bonding and grounding procedures. This liquid may accumulate
static electricity when filling properly grounded containers. Static electricity accumulation may be
significantly increased by the presence of small quantities of water or other contaminants. Material
will float and may ignite on surface of water. During fire, gases hazardous to health may be
formed.

Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.

In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Move containers from fire area if you can do
so without risk.

Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.
Combustible liquid.

protective equipment and
emergency procedures

Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up

Environmental precautions

Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Eliminate all
ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Wear appropriate
protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Avoid breathing mist or vapor. Do not touch
damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ensure
adequate ventilation. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination. Transfer
by mechanical means such as vacuum truck to a salvage tank or other suitable container for
recovery or safe disposal. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be
contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.

Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Keep
combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material.

Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Use water spray to reduce vapors or
divert vapor cloud drift. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Cover with plastic sheet to
prevent spreading. Use a non-combustible material like vermiculite, sand or earth to soak up the
product and place into a container for later disposal. Following product recovery, flush area with
water.

Small Spills: Absorb with earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers
for later disposal. Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to
remove residual contamination.

Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Use appropriate containment to

avoid environmental contamination.

7. Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. When using do not smoke.
Minimize fire risks from flammable and combustible materials (including combustible dust and
static accumulating liquids) or dangerous reactions with incompatible materials. Handling
operations that can promote accumulation of static charges include but are not limited to: mixing,
filtering, pumping at high flow rates, splash filling, creating mists or sprays, tank and container
filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, vacuum truck operations. Avoid breathing
mist or vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid prolonged exposure. Provide
adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Observe good industrial
hygiene practices.

For additional information on equipment bonding and grounding, refer to the Canadian Electrical
Code in Canada, (CSA C22.1), or the American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice
2003, "Protection Against Ignitions Arising out of Static, Lightning, and Stray Currents" or National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 77, "Recommended Practice on Static Electricity" or National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70, "National Electrical Code".

Conditions for safe storage,
including any incompatibilities

Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Eliminate sources of ignition. Avoid spark
promoters. Ground/bond container and equipment. These alone may be insufficient to remove
static electricity. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Store in original tightly closed
container. Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep in an area equipped with sprinklers. Store away
from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS).
