Lower Limits:2%
Upper Limits:12%
Extinguishing Media:"ALCOHOL FOAM" ; CARBON DIOXIDE(CO2); DRY CHEMICAL
    (ABC); WATER SPRAY.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR A NIOSH/MSHA-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED
    BREATHING APPARATUS AND FULL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. (1996 EMERGENCY
    RESPONSE GUIDEBOOK, DOT P 5800.7, GUIDE PAGE NO. 129). COOL FLAME:
    360C (680F) (ASTM-E659-7 8).
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VAPORS ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR, MAY TRAVEL
    ALONG GROUND OR MOVED BY VENTILATION AND IGNITED BY IGNITION
    SOURCES AT LOCATION DISTANT FROM MATERIAL HANDLING POINT. CAUTION!
    FLAME MAY NOT BE VISIBLE IN DAYL IGHT. FIRE OR EXCESSIVE HEAT MAY
    PRODUCE HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS; CAN REACT VIGORUSLY WITH
    OXIDIZING MATERIALS.

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

Spill Release Procedures:REMOVE ALL IGNITION SOURCES. PROVIDE ADEQUATE
    VENTILATION. THIS MATERIAL IS HANDLED AND DISPOSED OF AS A
    FLAMMABLE LIQUID. ABSORB SMALL SPILLS ON PAPER; EVAPORATE ISOPROPYL
    ALCOHOL IN AN EXHAUST HOOD;  BURN PAPER AFTER EVAPORATION. PREVENT
    FLOW TO SEWERS AND PUBLIC WATER WAYS.

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

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A COOL, DRY PLACE AWAY FROM
    STRONG OXIDIZING MATERIALS AND FIRE HAZARDS. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER
    HANDLING. KEEP CONTAINER TIGHTLY CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE. AVOID
    CONTACT WITH EYES AND SKIN. AVOID  PROLONGED OR REPEATED BREATHING
    OF VAPORS.	DO NOT WEAR CONTACT LENSES WHEN WORKING WITH CHEMICALS.
Other Precautions:USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT,
    SPARKS, AND FLAME. REMOVE AND WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. READ
    LABEL ON CONTAINER BEFORE USING. FOR LABORATORY USE ONLY. NOT FOR
    DRUG, FOOD, OR HOUS EHOLD USE. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
