Immediately flush eyes with plenty of clean water for an extended
time, not less than five (5) minutes.  Flush longer if there is any
indication of residual chemical in the eye.
Ensure adequate flushing of the eyes by separating the eyelids with
fingers and roll eyes in a circular motion.

dry chemical and protein type air foams are effective.  Carbon
dioxide may be ineffective on larger fires due to a lack of cooling
capacity, which may result in reignition.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) equipped with a full
facepiece and operated in a pressure-demand mode (or other positive
pressure mode) and approved protective clothing. Personnel without
suitable respiratory protection must leave the area to prevent
significant exposure to hazardous gases from combustion, burning or
decomposition.  In an enclosed or poorly ventilated area, wear SCBA
during cleanup immediately after a fire as well as during the attack
phase of firefighting operations.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazards
None known for the product as delivered (water solution).
Irritating and toxic substances will be emitted upon combustion,
burning or decomposition of the dry solids.
Closed container may rupture (due to build up in pressure) when
exposed to extreme heat.

_______ 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES _______

Containment Techniques
Contain spill.
If spilled in an enclosed area, ventilate.
Clean-Up Techniques
Wear proper personal protective clothing and equipment.
Do not flush liquid into public sewer, water systems or surface
waters.
Recover as much as possible for reuse.
Soak up large spill residue and small spills with an inert absorbent.
Place into labeled, closed container; store in safe location to
await disposal.
Wash the spill area with soap and water.
Change contaminated clothing and launder before reuse.
CAUTION:  Spilled liquid and dried film are slippery.  Use care to
avoid falls.

_______ 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE _______

Handling

severity of hazards of material during a fire emergency (i.e., "on
fire").
Other Information
FORMALDEHYDE:  Workplace exposure to formaldehyde is regulated by
OSHA 1910.1048 (CFR Title 29).  This regulation requires labeling if
the product is capable under its normally expected conditions of
handling, processing, and use of releasing enough formaldehyde to
result in airborne concentrations above 0.5 ppm.  Laboratory
experiments simulating mixing or compounding of emulsions show that
the airborne concentration of formaldehyde is not likely to exceed
0.1 ppm (0.1 mg/kg) when residual formaldehyde is <0.009% (<90 ppm or
<90 mg/kg) in the wet emulsion.  When the concentration in the wet
emulsion exceeds ~800 ppm (~800 mg/kg), the airborne concentration of
formaldehyde could exceed 0.5 ppm (0.5 mg/kg).  Purchasers of this
product should not solely rely on BFGoodrich data, but should do
sufficient in-plant monitoring of formaldehyde levels to assure
compliance of their operations.
