                IV.  FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA

FLASH POINT (TEST METHOD):  52EF (T.C.C.)

AUTO IGNITION TEMPERATURE:  N/A

FLAMMABLE LIMITS:  2.0 - 12.0

LEL:  2.0

UEL:  12.0

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:  CAUTION:  ALL THESE PRODUCTS HAVE A VERY LOW FLASH POINT:  USE OF WATER SPRAY WHEN FIGHTING FIRE MAY BE INEFFICIENT.    SMALL FIRES:  DRY CHEMICAL, CO2, WATER SPRAY OR REGULAR FOAM.    LARGE FIRES:  WATER SPRAY, FOG OR REGULAR FOAM; USE WATER SPRAY OR FOG, DO NOT USE STRAIGHT STREAMS.  MOVE CONTAINERS FROM FIRE AREA IF YOU CAN DO IT WITHOUT RISK.

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:  FIGHT FIRE FROM MAXIMUM DISTANCE OR USE UNMANNED HOSE HOLDERS OR MONITOR NOZZLES.  COOL CONTAINERS WITH FLOODING QUANTITIES OF WATER UNTIL WELL AFTER FIRE IS OUT.  WITHDRAW IMMEDIATELY IN CASE OF RISING SOUND FROM VENTING SAFETY DEVICES OR DISCOLORATION OF TANK.  ALWAYS STAY AWAY FROM TANKS ENGULFED IN FIRE.  FOR MASSIVE FIRE, USE UNMANNED HOSE HOLDERS OR MONITOR NOZZLES; IF THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE, WITHDRAW FROM AREA AND LET FIRE BURN.

UNUSUAL FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS:  HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:  WILL BE EASILY IGNITED BY HEAT, SPARKS, OR FLAMES.  VAPORS MAY FORM EXPLOSIVE MIXTURES WITH AIR.  VAPORS MAY TRAVEL TO SOURCE OF IGNITION AND FLASH BACK.  MOST VAPORS ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR.  THEY WILL SPREAD ALONG GROUND AND COLLECT IN LOW OR CONFINED AREAS (SEWERS, BASEMENTS, TANKS).  VAPOR EXPLOSION HAZARD INDOORS, OUTDOORS OR IN SEWERS.  THOSE SUBSTANCES DESIGNATED WITH A AP@ MAY POLYMERIZE EXPLOSIVELY WHEN HEATED OR INVOLVED IN A FIRE.  RUNOFF TO SEWER MAY CREATE FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD.  CONTAINERS MAY EXPLODE WHEN HEATED.  MANY LIQUIDS ARE LIGHTER THAN WATER.  SUBSTANCE MAY BE TRANSPORTED HOT.

FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT:  WEAR POSITIVE PRESSURE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS (SCBA).  STRUCTURAL FIREFIGHTERS= PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WILL ONLY PROVIDE LIMITED PROTECTION.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:  INHALATION:  VAPORS AND MISTS IRRITATE EYES, NOSE AND THROAT.  DUSTS GENERATED FROM SANDING AND GRINDING ON SURFACES COATED WITH THIS PRODUCT AND VAPORS AND MISTS GENERATED FROM THIS PRODUCT MAY BE HARMFUL IF INHALED.    INGESTION:  MAY BE HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED.    EYE:  CAUSES SLIGHT IRRITATION.     SKIN:  MAY CAUSE MODERATE IRRITATION. NOT EXPECTED TO BE ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:  NONE KNOWN

PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY:  INHALATION

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:  INHALATION:  IF EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF VAPORS OR MISTS ARE INHALED, REMOVE TO FRESH AIR.  APPLY ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION AND OTHER SUPPORTIVE MEASURES AS REQUIRED.  CONSULT A POISON CENTER, EMERGENCY ROOM OR LUNG SPECIALIST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.    INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.    EYE:  FLUSH EYES IMMEDIATELY WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTE.    SKIN:  IF EXCESSIVE SKIN CONTACT OCCURS, FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH PLENTY OF WATER, FOLLOWED BY WASHING WITH SOAP AND WATER.

HEALTH HAZARDS:      CHRONIC:  THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS GRAPHITE WHICH CAN ACCUMULATE IN LUNG TISSUE AFTER LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO THE DUST.  THE POTENTIAL FOR SUCH EXPOSURE FROM THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT IS VERY LIMITED.

            VII. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:  SHUT OFF IGNITION SOURCES; NO FLARES, SMOKING OR FLAMES IN HAZARD AREA. ALL EQUIPMENT USED WHEN HANDLING THE PRODUCT MUST BE GROUNDED.  DO NOT TOUCH OR WALK THROUGH SPILLED MATERIAL.  STOP LEAK IF YOU CAN DO IT WITHOUT RISK.  PREVENT ENTRY INTO WATERWAYS, SEWERS, BASEMENTS OR CONFINED AREAS.  A VAPOR SUPPRESSING FOAM MAY BE USED TO REDUCE VAPORS.  ABSORB OR COVER WITH DRY EARTH, SAND OR OTHER NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL AND TRANSFER TO CONTAINERS.  USE CLEAN NON-SPARKING TOOLS TO COLLECT ABSORBED MATERIAL.    LARGE SPILLS:  DIKE FAR AHEAD OF LIQUID SPILL FOR LATER DISPOSAL.  WATER SPRAY MAY REDUCE VAPOR; BUT MAY NOT PREVENT IGNITION IN CLOSED SPACES.

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: CONSULT WITH FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL WASTE REGULATIONS.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING:  STORAGE TEMPERATURE - AMBIENT.  STORAGE PRESSURE - ATMOSPHERIC.  KEEP CONTAINER CLOSED.  LOOSEN CLOSURE CAUTIOUSLY BEFORE OPENING.  STORE IN A COOL AND WELL VENTILATED PLACE AWAY FORM INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS.  SEE SECTION V. REACTIVITY DATA.  EMPTY CONTAINERS MAY RETAIN HAZARDOUS PROPERTIES.  FOLLOW ALL MSDS/LABEL WARNINGS EVEN AFTER CONTAINER IS EMPTIED.

                VIII.  CONTROL MEASURES

EYE PROTECTION:  VAPOR TIGHT CHEMICAL-TYPE SPLASH GOGGLES SHOULD BE WORN WHEN THE POSSIBILITY EXISTS FOR EYE CONTACT DUE TO SPLASHING OR SPRAYING OF LIQUID OR THE GENERATION OF AIRBORNE PARTICLES OR VAPORS.

SKIN PROTECTION:  WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR WORK UNIFORMS AND GLOVES CONSTRUCTED OF MATERIAL(S) WHICH ARE APPROPRIATE TO PREVENT CONTACT WITH THE CHEMICALS LISTED IN THE INGREDIENT SECTION OF THE MSDS.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS:  PROVIDE SUFFICIENT MECHANICAL VENTILATION TO MAINTAIN EXPOSURE BELOW TLV(S).  OVEREXPOSURES TO VAPORS AND MISTS MAY BE PREVENTED BY ENSURING VENTILATION CONTROLS, LOCAL EXHAUST AND/OR FRESH AIR ENTRY.  NIOSH/MSHA SCHEDULE TC-23C-AIR PURIFYING OR A SCHEDULE TC-19C-AIR SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR MAY ALSO BE USED TO REDUCE EXPOSURES.
