Fire Fighting Measures EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Use: Alcohol or polymer foam is preferred, carbon dioxide or dry powder. Water may be used, but fog or mist is recommended. SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. Keep run-off water out of sewers and water sources. UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS Fine dust dispersed in sufficient concentrations through the air in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard. PROTECTIVE MEASURES IN FIRE Leave danger zone immediately. Dry powder is corrosive when mixed with water at high temperatures the material may splatter. Thermal decomposition products include carbon oxides (CO, CO2), as well as oxides of phosphorous. Self contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. 6. Accidental Release Measures PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS Follow precautions for safe handling described in this safety data sheet. Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. NEUTRALIZING CHEMICALS Sodium Bicarbonate SPILL CLEAN UP METHODS Do not touch the spilled material. Ventilate enclosed spaces and remove any potential ignition sources. Insure that all proper protective gear is worn by responders. Do not use compressed air to clean any surfaces. Vacuum the dry powder and finish cleaning by spreading water over the contaminated area and evacuating though the sanitary system. Page 3 of 6 MSDS TriClean 210 MSDS TriPol 3150 7. Handling and Storage HANDLING Avoid spillage, skin, and eye contact. Provide adequate ventilation to avoid the formation and inhalation of dust. Wear protective gear listed in section 8 of this Material Safety Data Sheet. STORAGE Store in a dry and cool place, keep containers tightly closed. Do not use containers made of carbon or mild stainless steels. Protect against physical damage and/or friction. The recommended storage temperature for this material is 10-30°C (50-86°F). 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection INGREDIENT COMMENTS American Conference of Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH), National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have not developed exposure limits for this product. The following exposure limits are given for particles not otherwise classified. ACGIH (Total Inhalable Fraction): 10mg/m3 ACGIH (Respirable Fraction): 3mg/m3 OSHA (Total Inhalable Fraction): 15mg/m3 OSHA (Respirable Fraction): 5mg/m3 PROCESS CONDITIONS Provide eyewash station, and safety shower. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Appropriate safety goggles, clothing and gloves. ENGINEERING MEASURES Provide sufficient ventilation during operations which may lead to dust formation. Corrosion and explosion proof ventilation is recommended. Insure that low lying areas which may allow dense formations of dust to accumulate are well ventilated as well. RESPIRATORY EQUIPMENT Use MSHA/NIOSH approved dust/mist reparatory protection when dust is expected or encountered. HAND PROTECTION Selection of a suitable glove depends on work conditions and whether the product is present on its own or in combination with other substances. Gloves should be replaced immediately if signs of degradation are observed. It has been found that gloves made from rubber, neoprene or PVC provide short-term protection. DO NOT use gloves made of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). EYE PROTECTION DO NOT wear contact lenses when working with this product. Wear approved safety goggles with side shields as a minimum protection. Use dust tight chemical safety goggles, or full face respirator when dust is expected, encountered or the potential for eye contact exists. SKIN PROTECTION Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact. Impervious apron and gauntlets should be used when mixing or splashing of a concentrated solution is expected. Work boots are appropriate for normal use. In the case of spills rubber overshoes are recommended. Page 4 of 6 MSDS TriClean 210 MSDS TriPol 3150 9.
