Section 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
   MEANS OF EXTINCTION: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder or appropriate foam. Water: if water must be used, spray only. UNUSUAL FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Avoid heat, sparks, and open flames. Hazardous Combustion Products Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, acrid fumes.

Section 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
   PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: Refer to Section 8. CLEANUP PROCEDURES: Small spills should be adsorbed by dirt, sand or other suitable adsorbent. Large spills may be diked with earth and pumped to closed containers for recovery or disposable. At temperatures less than 15 C, material may crystallize and form a solid mass. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is complete.

Section 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
   HANDLING - USER EXPOSURE: Do not breathe vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Wear safety glasses or goggles and rubber gloves and apron when handling. SUGGESTED STORAGE CONDITIONS: Store in tightly sealed original containers with minimum head space. Avoid prolonged exposure to light, heat, cold, and air.

SUGGESTED STORAGE CONDITIONS: Store at 40F in tightly sealed original containers with minimum head space. Avoid prolonged exposure to light, heat and air. SHELF LIFE: 12 months after the last date of QC approval, or date of shipment, under recommended storage conditions or as otherwise noted.

Section 8. EXPOSURE AND PROTECTION CONTROLS
