FLAMMABILITY PROPERTIES

Flash Point [Method]:  114C  (237F) [ ASTM D-93]

Flammable Limits (Approximate volume % in air):   LEL:  0.5     UEL: 4.7

Autoignition Temperature:   220C  (428F)

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES

In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable regulations.

PROTECTIVE MEASURES

Avoid contact with spilled material.  See Section 5 for fire fighting information.  See the Hazard Identification Section for Significant Hazards.  See Section 4 for First Aid Advice.  See Section 8 for advice on the minimum requirements for personal protective equipment. Additional protective measures may be necessary, depending on the specific circumstances and/or the expert judgment of the emergency responders.

For emergency responders:  Respiratory protection: half-face or full-face respirator with filter(s) for organic vapor and, when applicable, H2S, or Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) can be used depending on the size of spill and potential level of exposure.  If the exposure cannot be completely characterized or an oxygen deficient atmosphere is possible or anticipated, SCBA is recommended.   Work gloves that are resistant to aromatic hydrocarbons are recommended.  Note: gloves made of polyvinyl acetate (PVA) are not water-resistant and are not suitable for emergency use.  Chemical goggles are recommended if splashes or contact with eyes is possible.  Small spills: normal antistatic work clothes are usually adequate.  Large spills: full body suit of chemical resistant, antistatic material is recommended.

SPILL MANAGEMENT

Land Spill:  Stop leak if you can do so without risk.  Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers.  Recover by pumping or with suitable absorbent.

Water Spill:  Stop leak if you can do so without risk.  Warn other shipping.  Remove from the surface by skimming or with suitable absorbents.  Seek the advice of a specialist before using dispersants.

Water spill and land spill recommendations are based on the most likely spill scenario for this material; however, geographic conditions, wind, temperature, (and in the case of a water spill) wave and current direction and speed may greatly influence the appropriate action to be taken.  For this reason, local experts should be consulted.  Note:  Local regulations may prescribe or limit action to be taken.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS

Large Spills: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later recovery and disposal.  Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.

HANDLING

Avoid contact with skin. Small metal particles from machining may cause abrasion of the skin and may predispose to dermatitis.  Prevent small spills and leakage to avoid slip hazard.   Material can accumulate static charges which may cause an electrical spark (ignition source).  When the material is handled in bulk, an electrical spark could ignite any flammable vapors from liquids or residues that may be present (e.g., during switch-loading operations).  Use proper bonding and/or earthing procedures.  However, bonding and earthing may not eliminate the hazard from static accumulation.  Consult local applicable standards for guidance.  Additional references include American Petroleum Institute 2003 (Protection Against Ignitions Arising out of Static, Lightning and Stray Currents) or National Fire Protection Agency 77 (Recommended Practice on Static Electricity) or CENELEC CLC/TR 50404 (Electrostatics - Code of practice for the avoidance of hazards due to static electricity).

Loading/Unloading Temperature:     [Ambient]

Transport Temperature:     [Ambient]

Transport Pressure:     [Ambient]

Static Accumulator:   This material is a static accumulator.  A liquid is typically considered a nonconductive, static accumulator if its conductivity is below 100 pS/m (100x10E-12 Siemens per meter) and is considered a semiconductive, static accumulator if its conductivity is below 10,000 pS/m.  Whether a liquid is nonconductive or semiconductive, the precautions are the same.  A number of factors, for example liquid temperature, presence of contaminants, anti-static additives and filtration can greatly influence the conductivity of a liquid.

STORAGE

 The container choice, for example storage vessel, may effect static accumulation and dissipation.  Do not store in open or unlabelled containers.  Keep container closed. Handle containers with care. Open slowly in order to control possible pressure release.  Store in a cool, well-ventilated area.

Storage Temperature:       [Ambient]

Storage Pressure:     [Ambient]
