Consult local authorities before disposal. * * * Section 7 - Handling and Storage * * * Handling Procedures Avoid contact with eyes or skin. Inspect extinguisher to insure container integrity. Do not drag, slide or roll extinguishers. Do not drop extinguishers or permit them to strike against each other. Do not mix with other extinguishing agents. Review HAZARDS and FIRST AID sections. Storage Procedures Store in accordance with all current regulations and standards. Pressurized extinguishers should be properly stored and secured to prevent falling or being knocked over. Never apply flame or localized heat to any part of the extinguisher. Store pressurized extinguishers away from high heat sources. Storage area should be cool, dry, well-ventilated and under cover out of direct sunlight.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Personal Protective Equipment: Eyes/Face Safety glasses, face shield or chemical splash goggles must be worn when possibility exists for eye contact. Contact lenses should not be worn. Eye wash facilities are recommended. Personal Protective Equipment: Skin Protective clothing such as long sleeves is recommended if excessive contact or splashing is likely to occur. Personal Protective Equipment: Hands Not normally needed when used as a portable fire extinguisher. Impervious gloves are recommended if excessive contact or splashing is likely to occur. Personal Protective Equipment: Respiratory None required where adequate ventilation conditions exist. If airborne concentrations are above the applicable exposure limits, use approved respiratory protection. The need for respiratory protection should be evaluated by a qualified health specialist. Personal Protective Equipment: General Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking, or using toilet facilities. Promptly remove soiled clothing and wash thoroughly before re-use. Environmental Exposure Controls Do not allow to enter waterways or sewers. * * * Section 9 - Physical and Chemical Properties * * * Appearance: Physical State: Vapor Pressure: Boiling Point: Solubility (H2O): Auto Ignition: Flash Point Method: UFL: Particle Size: Discharges as foam Aqueous solution and gas under pressure Not applicable.
