Fire Fighting Procedures:KEEP PEOPLE AWAY. ISOLATE FIRE AREA DENY
    UNNECESSARY ENTRY. CONTAIN FIRE RUNOFF IF POSSIBLE. BURNING LIQUID
    MAY BE MOVED BY FLUSHING WITH WATER TO PROTECT PERSONNEL AND
    MINIMIZE PROPERTY DAMAGE. WEAR  FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND
    SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH FULL FACEPIECE OPERATED IN
    POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONCENTRATED VAPORS CAN BE IGNITED WITH A
    HIGH ENERGY SPARK, FLAME OR OTHER HIGH INTENSITY HEAT SOURCE. MAY
    FORM HYDROGEN CHLORIDE AND TRACES OF PHOSGENE.

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

Spill Release Procedures:CLEAR ALL PERSONNEL FROM AREA. DO NOT BREATHE
    VAPORS. VENTILATE AREA OF LEAK OR SPILL. WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
    INCLUDING POSITIVE PRESSURE SELF CONTAINED OR  AIR SUPPLIED
    BREATHING APPARATUS. FOLLOW  CONFINED SPACE ENTRY PROCEDURES: ASTM
    D-4276 AND OSHA 29CFR 1910.146. CONTAIN LIQUID TO PREVENT
    CONTAMINATION OF SOIL, SURFACE WATER, OR GROUND WATER.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE APPLICABLE FOR THIS MATERIAL

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

Handling and Storage Precautions:VENT VAPOR TO STORAGE TANK. DO NOT EAT
    DRINK OR SMOKE IN WORK AREA. DO NOT CUT DRILL GRIND WELD OR PERFORM
    SIMILAR OPERATIONS ON OR NEAR EMPTY CONTAINERS. KEEP CONTAINER
    TIGHTLY CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE . STORE IN COOL, DRY, WELL
    VENTILATED AREA. PROTECT FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE, HEAT AND IGNITION
    SOURCES.
Other Precautions:ALUMINUM IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE MATERIAL FOR TANKS,
    FITTINGS, MIXERS OR PUMPS. AVOID BREATHING VAPORS.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:NONE NORMALLY REQUIRED. WHEN RESPIRATORY
    PROTECTION IS REQUIRED, USE AN APPROVED AIR PURIFYING OR POSITIVE
    PRESSURE SUPPLIED AIR RESPIRATOR DEPENDING ON THE POTENTIAL
    AIRBORNE CONCENTRATION.
Ventilation:MECHANICAL (GENERAL) VENTILATION IS REQUIRED. LOCAL EXHAUST
    MAY BE REQUIRED IF WORK AREA IS NOT VENTED.
Protective Gloves:NEOPRENE OR VITON.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES. IF VAPOR CAUSES EYE DISCOMFORT
    USE FULLFACE RESPIRATOR
Other Protective Equipment:SAFETY SHOWER AND EYE BATH. OTHER EQUIPMENT
    AS REQUIRED TO MINIMIZE EXPOSURE FROM PROLONGED OR REPEATED
    CONTACT.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH THROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING AND BEFORE
    EATING. LAUNDER CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE.
Supplemental Safety and Health
INHALATION: MINIMAL ANESTHETIC OR IRRITANT EFFECTS MAY BE SEEN AROUND
    200-400 PPM.  LEVELS IN THE RANGE OF 1000-2000 PPM MAY RAPIDLY
    CAUSE DIZZINESS OR DRUNKENNESS. PROGRESSIVELY HIGHER LEVELS OR LONG
    ER EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE UNCONCIOUSNESS AND DEATH. ALCOHOL CONSUMED
    BEFORE OR AFTER EXPOSURE MAY INCREASE ADVERESE EFFECTS.
