FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
Flammable Classification - Nonflammable Aerosol, Level I
NFPA Hazard Rating - H=0   F=0  R=0  S=0
(0 = Least to  4= Extreme)
Extinguishing Media - Water Fog, Alcohol Foam, Dry Chemical or CO2
Special Fire Fighting Procedures - The use of self contained breathing apparatus is recommended. Water may be used on containers exposed to intense heat from fires to prevent vapor pressure build up which could result in container rupture. Keep containers cooled with water and remove them from danger as soon as possible. If aerosols are bursting, stay clear until bursting is completed.  Aerosols can be projectiles when bursting.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards - Aerosols will burst at temperatures above 130 F (55C). Containers exposed to intense heat from fires must be cooled with water to prevent vapor pressure build up which could result in container rupture.

HANDLING AND STORAGE

Steps to be taken - Product is considered non flammable. However, keep containers cool in temperatures below 120 F and away from heat, sparks and flame. Extinguish pilot light, cigarettes or other sources of ignition. Do not puncture of burn even after use. Use with adequate ventilation. Keep containers dry, closed and upright when not in use.   Maintain good personal hygiene and housekeeping.  KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Avoid contact with Eyes.

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps to be taken:  Keep sources of ignition and hot metal surfaces isolated from spill.  Small leaks can be mopped or wiped up immediately.  Remove materials to out-of-doors.  Large leaks should be handles as follows:  Evacuate area.  Contain liquid, transfer to closed containers.   Keep out of water supplies.

EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PROTECTIVE MEASURES
Respiratory Protection - If used with adequate ventilation, no protective equipment is necessary. In enclosed spaces if exposure limits are exceeded use a NIOSH approved cartridge respirator.
Ventilation - A well ventilated room with adequate air circulation.
Protective Equipment - Chemical googols if likelihood of eye contact. Wear chemical resistant gloves and other clothing as required to minimize prolonged or repeated contact with skin.
Hygienic Practices - Wash well with soap and water after use of product.

WASTE DISPOSAL
Dispose in accordance with local, state and federal regulations. Disposal should be carried out under EPA State and Federal laws.
