immediately.
Section VI Reactivity Data
Instability: Stable
Incompatible Materials: Avoid strong oxidizing agents and water.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: When heated above 392 Fahrenheit, or under fire
conditions, may form toxic decomposition products. These
products may cause severe eye, nose, throat, and lung
irritation. Use adequate ventilation.
Hazardous Polymerization: None will occur.
Section VII Spill or Leak Procedures
Spill, Leak, or Release: Eliminate all ignition sources. Contain spill and salvage as much
material as possible. Pick up the remaining with absorbent.
Waste Disposal: Dispose of only by methods approved by and used in accordance with local,
state, and federal regulations.
Section VIII Special Protection Information
Respiratory: Use only with adequate ventilation. Vent fumes outside work area. When
applying as a spray, use exhaust ducts, fans, and other features to minimize
exposure to mists, vapors, and over-spray. Recommended exposure limit is 300
ppm for an 8 hour day, at greater levels use a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator.
Protective Clothing: Where skin contact is likely, have available and wear as appropriate,
impervious gloves, apron, pants and jacket to prevent prolonged contact.
Eye: Use safety eye wear or chemical splash goggles.

Section IX Special Precautions
Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not aerosolize.
Always provide adequate ventilation. Use only in low-pressure sprayers (less than 60 psi). Store
in a well ventilated place at a temperature above 45 and under 120 Fahrenheit. Keep away from
open flames, heat, sparks, pilot lights, static electricity, and heated surfaces. Use proper
grounding techniques. Keep container tightly closed to prevent leakage or evaporation. Keep
out of reach of children. Dispose of empty containers with care, product residues may ignite.
Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose containers to sources of heat or
ignition.
