SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. Notes to physician; treat symptomatically and supportively. Deepwater Chemicals, Inc. Subsidiary of Tomen America, Inc. 3 4. Fire Fighting Measures Flash Point: N/A Method: N/A LEL % : No data Auto-ignition: N/A UEL % : No data FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS : Noncombustible under ordinary conditions. Fire may produce poisonous or irritating iodine and chlorine fumes and the release of hydrogen. EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use dry chemical, CO2 or water spray. FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Small Fires: Use dry chemical, CO2 or water spray. Large Fires: Use water spray, fog or regular foam. Move containers from area if you can without risk. Dike fire control water for later disposal. Do not scatter material. Wear full protective clothing and NIOSH approved SCBA apparatus with a full face respirator. 5. Accidental Release Measures Evacuation: See the Table of Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances from the Emergency Response Guidebook # 154 Containment: Eliminate all ignition sources. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Stop leak if you can do without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. Adsorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers. Reporting: In the event of a Hazardous Materials Incident during transportation, the regulations in 49CFR 171.15 and 171.16 are to be followed. Under 40CFR 302.6 (CERCLA), any release of a substance in a quantity equal to or greater than its (RQ) threshold to soil, water or air, as soon as that person has knowledge of the release, the US Coast Guard National Response Center at 800-424-8801 must be contacted. 6. Handling and Storage Storage Conditions: Store in UN-rated containers in a cool, preferably below 30o C, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep containers tightly closed. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues. This product should be handled only by, or under the close supervision of those properly qualified in the handling and use of potentially hazardous chemicals. Deepwater Chemicals, Inc.
