Closed containers exposed to heat from fire may build pressure and explode.

Hazardous Decomposition or By-Products

Substance Condition

Carbon monoxide. During combustion.
Carbon dioxide. During combustion.

5.3. Advice for fire-fighters

Water may not effectively extinguish fire; however, it should be used to keep fire-exposed containers and surfaces cool and
prevent explosive rupture.

SECTION 6: Accidental release measures

6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Evacuate area. Ventilate the area with fresh air. For large spill, or spills in confined spaces, provide mechanical ventilation
to disperse or exhaust vapours, in accordance with good industrial hygiene practice. Warning: A motor could be an ignition
source and could cause flammable gases or vapours in the spill area to burn or explode. 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.

6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Collect as much of the spilled material as possible using non-sparking tools. Place in a metal container approved for
transportation by appropriate authorities. Clean up residue. Seal the container. Dispose of collected material as soon as
possible.

6.4. Reference to other sections

Refer to Section 8 and Section 13 for more information

SECTION 7: Handling and storage

7.1. Precautions for safe handling

Vapours may travel long distances along the ground or floor to an ignition source and flash back. For industrial or

professional use only. Do not use in a confined area or areas with little or no air movement. Keep away from
heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking. Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. Do not get in eyes,
on skin, or on clothing. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact
with oxidising agents (eg. chlorine, chromic acid etc.)

7.2. Conditions for safe storage including any incompatibilities

Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep cool. Keep container tightly closed. Store away from heat. Protect from sunlight.
Store away from acids. Store away from oxidising agents.

7.3. Specific end use(s)

See information in Section 7.1 and 7.2 for handling and storage recommendations. See Section 8 for exposure controls and
personal protection recommendations.

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/vapours/spray. If ventilation is not adequate, use respiratory protection equipment.

8.2.2. Personal protective equipment (PPE)

Eye/face protection

As a good industrial hygiene practice:

Wear eye/face protection.

The following eye protection(s) are recommended: Safety glasses with side shields.

Skin/hand protection

Wear protective gloves.
Gloves made from the following material(s) are recommended: Nitrile rubber.

Respiratory protection

In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection.
Select one of the following approved respirators based on airborne concentration of contaminants and in accordance with
regulations:

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations

13.1 Waste treatment methods

Dispose of contents/ container in accordance with the local/regional/national/international regulations

Incinerate in a permitted waste incineration facility. Proper destruction may require the use of additional fuel during
incineration processes. Empty drums/barrels/containers used for transporting and handling hazardous chemicals (chemical
substances/mixtures/preparations classified as hazardous as per applicable regulations) shall be considered,stored,treated &
disposed of as hazardous wastes unless otherwise defined by applicable waste regulations. Consult with the respective
regulating authorities to determine the available treatment and disposal facilities.

The coding of a waste stream is based on the application of the product by the consumer. Since this is out of the control of the
manufacturer, no waste code(s) for products after use will be provided. Please refer to the European Waste Code (EWC ­2000/532/CE and amendments) to assign the correct waste code to your waste stream. Ensure national and/or regional
regulations are complied with and always use a licensed waste contractor
