Appearance and color: Page 1. IV. FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA Flash Point (test method): None Flammable Limits in Air, % by Volume: Lower- N/A; Upper- N/A Extinguishing Media: Water is permissible for general fire fighting. Special Firefighting Procedures: Use water to keep fire-exposed containers cool to reduce pressure. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazard: NONE V. Stability-Hazardous Polymerization-REACTIVITY DATA Unstable ____ Will not occur __X_

Stable _X__ May occur ____

Conditions and Materials to Avoid-- Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents. Hazardous Decomposition Products-- Usual products of combustion carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and possibly oxides of nitrogen. VI. SPECIAL PROTECTION

Respiratory-- Respiratory mask with an organic chemical canister NIOSH approved-when used in confined areas. Eye Protection-- Goggles or side-shield spectacles. Protective Gloves-- Neoprene rubber gloves. Ventilation-- Not normally a vapor hazard. If heated, ventilation designed and maintained to provide volume and pattern to prevent vapor concentration in excess of TLV or LEL may be necessary. VII. SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES

Steps to be taken in case material is spilled or released-Not normally a fire hazard. Water content of product prevents ignition. Can support combustion if water is evaporated. Large spills may be scooped up. Small spills may be picked up with absorbent material. Waste Disposal Method-Place in closed containers. Carefully incinerate (first open closed containers) or use secure landfill in accordance with local, state and federal regulations. VIII. STORING AND HANDLING
