SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Flash Point: N/A Flammability: Flammable Auto ignition Temperature: Not available Decomposition Temperature: Not available Acute Hazards: Formulation contains organic solvents Special fire fighting procedures: Keep fire exposed containers cool with water spray. If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapours and to protect personnel attempting to stop leak. No unprotected persons should be allowed the vicinity. Water spray may be used to flush spills away from exposures. Prevent run-off from fire control or dilution from entering streams, sewers or drinking water supply. Contain run-off with temporary earth barriers. Extinguishing Media: Water spray or fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. (water may be ineffective for putting out fires, unless used by experienced fire-fighters) Special protective equipment: Do not breath fumes. For fires in close areas, fire fighters must use self-contained breathing apparatus, as well as full protective nitrile rubber gloves, close fitting safety goggles or face shield, effective respiratory protection. Full lenght protective clothing and boots must be worn when handling gear, this material in an emergency. Hazardous decomposition products: Toxic fumes including smoke CO2, aldehydes and other decomposition products. 1. REACTIVITY DATA: Stability: Stable Conditions to avoid: Heat, sparks, flame and build up of static electricity, spillage onto roadways, etc. Hazardous decomposition products: Incomplete combustion will produce carbon monoxide and other toxic fumes. Degradation: In the environment degradation occurs. 2. WARNINGS: Store under lock and key. Store in a cool, dry place, away from source of heat & naked flames. Keep away from oxidizers and acids. Keep containers closed when not in use. Minimize skin and eye contact. Decontaminate all equipment before repairing. Keep out of reach of children, uninformed persons and animals.
