5.2 Extinguishing Media

Use fire extinguishers with class B extinguishing agents (e.g., dry chemical, carbon dioxide).

5.3 Protection of Fire Fighters

Special Fire Fighting Procedures:  Water may not effectively extinguish fire; however, it should be used to keep fire-exposed containers and surfaces cool and prevent explosive rupture.  Wear full protective equipment (Bunker Gear) and a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:   Closed containers exposed to heat from fire may build pressure and explode.  Extremely flammable liquid and vapor.  Vapors may travel long distances along the ground or floor to an ignition source and flash back.

***NOTE:  See Stability and Reactivity (Section 10) for hazardous combustion and thermal decomposition information.

Section 6:  Accidental Release Measures

Accidental Release Measures:  Refer to other sections of this MSDS for information regarding physical and health hazards, respiratory protection, ventilation, and personal protective equipment.  Call Air-Tech Coatings, Inc. at 1-800-325-1650 for more information on handling and managing the spill.  Evacuate unprotected and untrained personnel from hazard area.  The spill should be cleaned up by qualified personnel.  Remove all ignition sources such as flames, smoking materials, and electrical spark sources.  Use only non-sparking tools.  Ventilate the area with fresh air.  For large spill or spills in confined spaces provide mechanical ventilation to disperse or exhaust vapors, in accordance with good industrial hygiene practice.  Warning!  A motor could be an ignition source and could cause flammable gases or vapors in the spill area to burn or explode.  Contain spill.  For larger spills, cover drains and build dikes to prevent entry into sewer systems or bodies of water.  Cover spill area with a fire-extinguishing foam.  An aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) is recommended.  Working from around the edges of the spill inward, cover with bentonite, vermiculate, or commercially available inorganic absorbent material.  Mix in sufficient absorbent until it appears dry.  Collect as much of the spilled material as possible using non-sparking tools.  Clean up residue with an appropriate solvent selected by a qualified and authorized person.  Ventilate the area with fresh air.  Read and follow safety precautions on the solvent label and MSDS.  Collect the resulting residue containing solution.  Place in a metal container approved for transportation by appropriate authorities.  Seal the container.  Dispose of collected material as soon as possible.

In the event of a release of this material the user should determine if the release qualifies as reportable according to local, state, and federal regulations.

Section 7:  Handling and Storage

7.1 Handling
Do not eat, drink, or smoke when using this product.  Wash exposed areas thoroughly with soap and water.  Contents may be under pressure, open carefully.  Ground containers securely when transferring contents.  Wear low static or properly grounded shoes.  Avoid breathing of vapors, mists or spray.  Avoid static discharge.  Avoid eye contact with vapors, mists, or spray.  Keep out of the reach of children.  Vapors may ignite explosively.  May cause flash fire.  Prevent build-up of vapors – open all windows and doors.  Maintain vapor concentrations below recommended exposure limits.  Use only with cross-ventilation.  Without adequate ventilation, vapors may settle in low-lying areas.  Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.  Do not smoke or ignite matches, lighters, etc.  For industrial or professional use only.  Avoid contact with oxidizing agents.

7.2	Storage
Store  away from acids.  Store away from heat.  Store out of direct sunlight.  Keep container in well-ventilated area.  Keep container tightly closed.  Store away from oxidizing agents.

Section 8:  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

8.1 Engineering Controls
Use with appropriate local exhaust ventilation.  Provide appropriate local exhaust ventilation on open containers.  If exhaust ventilation is not available, use appropriate respiratory protection.

8.2 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

8.2.1 Eye/Face Protection
Avoid eye contact with vapors, mists, or spray.
The following eye protection(s) are recommended:  Safety Glasses with side shields, Indirect Vented Goggles.

8.2.2 Skin Protection
Avoid skin contact.
Select and use gloves and/or protective clothing to prevent skin contact based on the results of an exposure assessment.  Consult with your glove and/or protective clothing manufacturer for selection of appropriate compatible materials.  Gloves made from the following material(s) are recommended:  Butyl Rubber, Polyethylene/Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol.

8.2.3 Respiratory Protection
