Section III – Hazards Identification
Hazard Overview: Spills produce extremely slippery surfaces
Section IV – First Aid Measures
Eyes: Flush with clean, low pressure water for at least 15 minutes while occasionally
lifting eyelids. If irritation occurs and persists, get medical attention.
Inhalation: No adverse effects anticipated by breathing small amounts during proper
industrial handling. If there is difficulty breathing, remove to fresh air and get medical
attention.
Skin: Wash with water, use soap if available. If extensive skin contact occurs, remove
contaminated clothing and wash contacted skin with soap and water. In the unlikely event
that irritation does occur/persist after contact, check with medical personnel. Wash
contaminated clothing before reuse.

Section V - Fire & Explosion Hazard Data
Flammable Properties: Flash point - >200F; Method: Closed Cup
Flammable Limits: Lower Flammable Limit (LFL) - not applicable
Upper Flammable Limit (UFL) - not applicable
Auto Ignition Temperature: Not available
Hazardous Combustion Products: No specific hazards. Combustion will produce
compounds of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and chlorine including carbon monoxide and
hydrogen chloride. The exact composition of the products of combustion will depend on
the conditions of combustion. This product will not support combustion until all water is
boiled off.
Other Fire and Explosion Hazards: None
Extinguishing Media: Water, foam, CO2, dry chemical
Fire Fighting Equipment. Full protective equipment (Bunker Gear) and NIOSH/MSHA
approved SCBA should be used for all indoor and any significant outdoor fires. For small
outdoor fires which may easily be extinguished with a portable dire extinguisher, use of a
SCBA may not be required.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Water run off can cause environmental damage. Dike and
collect water used to fight fires.
Section VI – Accidental Release Measures
Use absorbent, vacuum or sweep material and place in a disposal container.
Section VII – Handling and Storage
Shelf Life: Use within 1 year.
Special Sensitivity: None
Section VIII - Personal Protection Information
Engineering Controls: Provide ventilation and particulate control to maintain airborne
levels below the exposure guidelines.
Eye Protection: Use safety glasses. If there is a potential for exposure to particulates
which would cause mechanical injury to the eye, wear chemical goggles.
Respiratory Protection: For most conditions no respiratory protection should be needed;
however, in confined or poorly ventilated areas of emergency and other conditions where
the exposure guidelines may be greatly exceeded, use an approved positive pressure selfcontained breathing apparatus.
Skin Protection: As a general precaution use gloves. No additional precautions other
than clean body covering clothing should be needed.
