Flash Point:=16.7C, 62.F
TAG CLOSED CUP
Extinguishing Media:APPLY ALCOHOL-TYPE OR ALL PURPOSE FOAM BY
    MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED TECHNIQUES FOR LARGE FIRES. USE CARBON
    DIOXIDE OR DRY CHEMICAL MEDIA FOR SMALL FIRES.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL FIRE-EXPOSED
    CONTAINERS AND STRUCTURES; USE WATER SPRAY TO DISPERSE VAPORS-
    RE-IGNITION IS POSSIBLLE; USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS
    AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VAPORS MAY TRAVEL TO SOURCE OF IGNITION
    AND FLASH BACK. VAPORS MAY SETTLE IN LOW OR CONFINED SPACES. MAY
    PRODUCE A FLOATING FIRE HAZARD. STATIC IGNITION HAZARD CAN RESULT
    FROM HANDLING AND USE.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:SMALL SPILLS CAN BE FLUSHED WITH LARGE AMOUNTS
    OF WATER. LARGE SPILLS: ELIMINATE ALL IGNITION SOURCES, GROUND ALL
    EQUIPMENT. DO NOT WALK THROUGH SPILL. STOP SPILL IF POSSIBLE.
    PREVENT ENTRY INTO SEWER S. CONFINED SPACES ETC. USE A VAPOR
    SUPRESSING FOAM TO REDUCE VAPORS. ABSORB SPILL WITH NON-COMBUSTIBLE
    MATTER & TRANSFER TO CONTAINERS. USE NON-SPARKING TOOLS TO COLLECT
    ABSORBED MATERIAL.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:FLAMMABLE MATERIAL-KEEP AWAY FROM
    HEAT, SPARKS & FLAME. SUDDEN RELEASES OF HOT ORGANIC VAPORS OR
    MISTS FROM PROCESS EQUIPMENT OPERATING AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURE MAY
    RESULT IN IGNITIONS WITHOUT THE PRES ENCE OF OBVIOUS IGNITION
    SOURCES. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
Other Precautions:VAPORS MAY COLLECT IN EMPTY CONTAINERS. TREAT EMPTY
    CONTAINERS	AS HAZARDOUS. GROUND CONTAINERS WHEN TRANSFERRING
    CONTENTS. VAPORS MAY COLLECT IN CONTAINERS. TREAT EMPTY CONTAINERS
