*See Section 16

Extinguishing Media: Water fog or fine spray. Dry chemical fire extinguishers. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers. Foam. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are preferred. General purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may function, but will be less effective.

Fire Fighting Procedures: Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Use water spray to cool fire exposed containers and fire affected zone until fire is out and danger of reignition has passed. Fight fire from protected location or safe distance. Consider the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Immediately withdraw all personnel from the area in case of rising sound from venting safety device or discoloration of the container. Burning liquids may be extinguished by dilution with water. Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire. Move container from fire area if this is possible without hazard. Burning liquids may be moved by flushing with water to protect personnel and minimize property damage.

Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers, boots, and gloves). Avoid contact with this material during fire fighting operations. If contact is likely, change to full chemical resistant fire fighting clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus. If this is not available, wear full chemical resistant clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus and fight fire from a remote location. For protective equipment in post-fire or non-fire clean-up situations, refer to the relevant sections.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Container may rupture from gas generation in a fire situation.Violent steam generation or eruption may occur upon application of direct water stream to hot liquids.

Stability/Instability:Stable under recommended storage conditions. See Storage, Section 7.
Conditions to Avoid: Do not distill to dryness. Product can oxidize at elevated temperatures.Generation of gas during decomposition can cause pressure in closed systems.
Incompatible Materials: Avoid contact with: Strong acids. Strong bases. Strong oxidizers.
Hazardous Polymerization :Will not occur.

Thermal Decomposition
Decomposition products depend upon temperature, air supply and the presence of other materials.
Decomposition products can include and are not limited to: Aldehydes. Ketones. Organic acids.

Did not cause allergic skin reactions when tested in humans.

Repeated Dose Toxicity

In animals, effects have been reported on the following organs: Kidney. Symptoms of excessive exposure may be anesthetic or narcotic effects; dizziness and drowsiness may be observed.

Developmental Toxicity

Did not cause birth defects or any other fetal effects in laboratory animals.

CHEMICAL FATE

Data for Component: Dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether

Movement & Partitioning

Bio - concentration potential is low (BCF less than 100 or log Pow less than 3). Potential for mobility in soil is very high (Koc between 0 and 50). Given its very low Henry's constant, volatilization from natural bodies of water or moist soil is not expected to be an important fate

process.

Henry's Law Constant (H): 1.6E-7 atm*m3/mole; 25 °C Estimated

Partition coefficient, n-octanol/water (log Pow): -0.35 Estimated

Partition coefficient, soil organic carbon/water (Koc): 0.28 Estimated

Persistence and Degradability

Material is readily biodegradable. Passes OECD test(s) for ready biodegradability. Material is

ultimately biodegradable (reaches > 70% mineralization in OECD test(s) for inherent biodegradability).

Indirect Photodegradation with OH Radicals

Rate Constant Atmospheric Half-life Method

ECOTOXICITY

Data for Component: Dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether

Material is practically non-toxic to aquatic organisms on an acute basis (LC50/EC50 >100 mg/L in the most sensitive species tested).

Fish Acute & Prolonged Toxicity

LC50, fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas), static, 96 h: > 10,000 mg/l

Aquatic Invertebrate Acute Toxicity
