Fire-fighting measures Suitable extinguishing media Alcohol resistant foam. Water fog. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, sand or earth may be used for small fires only. Unsuitable extinguishing Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire. media Specific hazards arising from Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel considerable distance to a source the chemical of ignition and flash back. This product is a poor conductor of electricity and can become electrostatically charged. If sufficient charge is accumulated, ignition of flammable mixtures can occur. To reduce potential for static discharge, use proper bonding and grounding procedures. This liquid may accumulate static electricity when filling properly grounded containers. Static electricity accumulation may be significantly increased by the presence of small quantities of water or other contaminants. Material will float and may ignite on surface of water. During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed. When exposed to extreme heat or hot surfaces, vapors may decompose to harmful or fatal corrosive gases such as formaldehyde. Special protective equipment Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. and precautions for firefighters Fire-fighting In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Move containers from fire area if you can do equipment/instructions so without risk. General fire hazards Highly flammable liquid and vapor. 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions, Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep out of protective equipment and low areas. Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). emergency procedures Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not breathe mist or vapor. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination. Transfer by mechanical means such as vacuum truck to a salvage tank or other suitable container for recovery or safe disposal. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. Methods and materials for Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Take containment and cleaning up precautionary measures against static discharge.

  • Adopted Part 235 Consumer Products and Part 200 General Provisions
    Revised Summary of Express Terms 6 NYCRR Part 235, Consumer Products 6 NYCRR Part 200, General Provisions The Division of Air Resources is revising 6 NYCRR Part 235, “Consumer Products” (Part 235) to reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, improve air quality, and promote regional product consistency. The revisions will help the state attain federal National Ambient Air Quality Standards, and work toward regionally consistent regulations amongst the Ozone Transport Commission (OTC) states. The revisions include adding nine new product categories and revising ten existing categories in order to reduce the VOC content of the products through lower VOC content limits. Part 200 will be revised to incorporate referenced materials, including American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) testing procedures, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) provisions supporting this regulation, and to update references to Part 235. Part 235 will be revised to incorporate new definitions and revise some categories in the existing definitions. Additionally, Subpart 235-3 will be updated to add new VOC limits, conform to the revised definitions and product categories, and to remove obsolete text and references. Changes throughout the proposal include a January 1, 2022 compliance date for the new VOC limits on new and reformulated products in the regulation. Likewise, changes were made in the definitions section to provide transitional language, where necessary, for those categories of products that were redefined or revised, to cite which emission standards apply before or after the compliance date of the regulation. Page 1 of 4 The revisions include setting VOC content limits for nine new product categories and lowering the VOC content limits for ten existing product categories.
