Section 5 - Fire-Fighting Measures NFPA
Flash Point: > 120 °F ( > 49 °C ) 2 Flash Point Method: COC 0 1 Burning Rate: Not determined — Autoignition Temperature: Not determined Lower Flammable Limit (LFL): 1 % Upper Flammable Limit (UFL): 7 % Flammability Classification: Not determined Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water fog. Use water to cool fire-exposed containers and to protect personnel. General Fire Hazards: Fire and explosion hazards are moderate when this product is exposed to heat or flame. Empty containers may retain product residue including flammable or explosive vapors. Do not cut, drill, grind, or weld near full, partially full, or empty product containers. Container my rupture on heating. Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, aldehydes and oxides of sulfur. Fire-Fighting Equipment/Instructions: Do not point solid water stream directly into burning oil to avoid spreading. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers and as a protective screen. Wear full set of protective equipment including chemical goggles and gloves.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures Containment Procedures: Contain the discharge material. Eliminate all sources of ignition or flammables that may come into contact with a spill of this material. Clean-Up Procedures: Absorb with inert absorbent such as dry clay, sand or diatomaceous earth. Scoop up used absorbent into drums. Dispose of spent absorbent in an approved industrial waste landfill. Do not allow the spilled product to enter public drainage system or open water courses. Evacuation Procedures: Isolate area. Keep unnecessary personnel away. Special Instructions: Surfaces may become slippery after spillage. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage Procedures for Handling: Avoid getting this material into contact with your skin and eyes. Use this product with adequate ventilation. Use a NIOSH-approved respirator if exposed to oil mist, and adequate ventilation is not available. Wash hands after handling and before eating. Launder work clothes frequently. Recommended Storage Methods: Keep the container tightly closed and in a cool, well-ventilated place. Do not store this material in open or unlabeled containers. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Store away from strong oxidizers.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection Exposure Guidelines: A. General Product Information - If oil mists are generated, observe the OSHA exposure limit of 5 mg/m3. B. Component Exposure Limits - No ACGIH, NIOSH or OSHA exposure guidelines listed for the product’s components. Engineering Controls: Use in a well-ventilated area. Eye / Face Protection: Wear goggles and/or safety glasses with side-shields. Skin Protection: Wear oil impervious garments if contact is unavoidable. The use of neoprene gloves is recommended. Respiratory Protection: Not normally required for ambient air concentrations not exceeding the Occupational Exposure Limit. If mist is generated (heating, spraying) and engineering controls are not sufficient, wear approved organic vapor respirator suitable for oil mist. General: Use good hygiene when handling petroleum product.
