3 FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD Hazchem code Extinguishing media Specific Hazards Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or alcohol type foam extinguishers. None Specific protective equipment and precautions for Fire Fighting Fire fighter should wear full protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus. Other Precautions If involved in a large fire, remove drums if possible. Alternatively hose drums with water to keep containers cool and avoid pressure and possible release of flammable alcohol vapour. If involved in a large fire, internal pressure may cause rupture of drums and release of alcohol vapour. SPILLS AND DISPOSAL Spills Clean up personnel should wear protective clothing including breathing protection. Major spills should be contained, absorbed on sand or earth and placed in sealed plastic or epoxy-lined drums for disposal. Minor spills and residue may be hosed down with excess water. Disposal Do not dump large quantities into biological treatment ponds. Laboratory data indicates that is quaternary ammonium compounds are discharged steadily at low concentrations. SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION Handling Use rubber or PVC gloves, apron, overalls, boots. Respiratory protection is not normally required. When airborne exposure limits and/or comfort levels may be exceeded use an SA approved respirator consistent with the airborne concentrations. When using organic chemical cartridges ensure that the cartridges are correct for the potential air contamination and are in good working order. Page 3 of 5

4 Storage Wash thoroughly after handling. Do no eat, drink or smoke whilst handling the product. Avoid unnecessary exposure. Rinse and launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Footwear contaminated internally should be discarded. Store in ambient shade temperature. If outside storage cannot be avoided, place in dry location, protected from hot sun and freezing conditions. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE Engineering Measures Personal protection Avoid accumulation of ethanol vapour in workspace. Good ventilation necessary, but take precautions against possible flash of vapour in exhaust duct, e.g. use flame and explosion proof electrical fittings. Use rubber or PVC gloves, apron, overalls, boots. Respiratory protection is not normally required. When airborne exposure limits and/or comfort levels may be exceeded use an SA approved respirator consistent with the airborne concentrations. When using organic chemical cartridges ensure that the cartridges are correct for the potential air contamination and are in good working order. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not eat, drink or smoke whilst handling the product. Avoid unnecessary exposure. Rinse and launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Footwear contaminated internally should be discarded.
