Advice for Firefighters:
If evacuation of personnel is necessary, evacuate to an upwind location. Decontaminate personnel and
equipment with water wash -down after fire and smoke exposure. Structural firefighters' protective clothing
may only provide limited protection. Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Use water spray to cool containers exposed to
fire.
Section 6 — Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal Precautions:
Wear appropriate protective equipment including respiratory protection as conditions warrant. Do not touch
or walk through spilled material. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing
appr9priate;proteot ive clothing.
Emergency Procedures:
As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area. Keep out of low areas. Keep unauthorized
personnel away. Stay upwind. Ventilate closed spaces before entering.
Environmental Precautions:
Avoid run off to waterways and sewers.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Small Spills:
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 for later disposal.
Large Spills:
Dike far ahead of liquid spill and prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined spaces.
Neutralize with Sodium Sulfite (1 teaspoon in 2.5 gallons material) or dilute Hydrogen Peroxide (1 cup inl gal
of water .then use on spill). May also neutralize using ''/. teaspoon Ascorbic acid for each gallon of liquid. DO
NOT use vinegar or acidic solutions on spill, [his wi# produce dangerous gases.

SAFETY DATA SHEET
Wear all appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Wear respiratory protection or ensure adequate
ventilation at all times as vapors can accumulate in confined or poorly ventilated areas. Use the product in a
manner which minimizes splashes. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Storage:
Prevent material from freezing. Store at room temperatures, i.e., 40 to 95°F (4 - 35°C). Store away from direct
sunlight and heat to slow normal decomposition. Do not handle or store material near heat, sparks, open
flames or other sources of ignition.
