Hazard statements

Causes skin irritation May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways Flammable liquid and vapor

Prevention

Wash face, hands and any exposed skin thoroughly after handling Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. — No smoking Keep container tightly closed Ground/bond container and receiving equipment Use explosion-proof equipment Use only non-sparking tools Take precautionary measures against static discharge An improperly designed or maintained heat transfer system may permit the release of fluid, or air/moisture leakage into the system. This leakage could lower the fluid’s flashpoint and/or produce light ends. System leaks that result in saturated insulation may, when heated over time, create a combustible mixture when suddenly exposed to air. Leakage of fluid from the system at operating temperature and pressure may cause fluid to disperse as an aerosol, which may result in flammable concentrations of vapor in the air. Thermal degradation or other decomposition of the fluid can occur in an improperly maintained heat transfer system, and also for other reasons, including operating the system above the fluid’s recommended operating temperature and failure to maintain proper fluid velocity. Degradation or decomposition of the fluid may also create “low boiler” hydrocarbon compounds or light ends. The occurrence of any of the foregoing conditions may lead to an increased risk of explosion and/or fire.

Response

Rinse skin with water/shower Wash contaminated clothing before reuse If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician Do not induce vomiting IN CASE OF FIRE: Use CO2, dry chemical, or foam for extinction

Storage
