Biodiesel (B99.9)

If exposed to excessive levels of material in the air, move the exposed person to fresh air. Get medical attention if coughing or respiratory discomfort occurs.

Symptoms: coughing or respiratory discomfort

remove clothing and shoes if contaminated. To remove the material from skin, use soap and water. Discard contaminated clothing and shoes or thoroughly clean before reuse.

Symptoms: irritation

remove contact lenses, if worn, and flush eyes with water.

Symptoms: irritation

Do not induce vomiting. As a precaution, get medical advice.

Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish flames.

Do not use water spray or a direct stream of water.

This material will burn although it is not easily ignited.

For fires involving this material, do not enter any enclosed or confined fire space without proper protective equipment, including self-contained breathing apparatus.

Stop the source of the release if you can do it without risk. Monitor area with combustible gas indicator.

Contain release to prevent further contamination of soil, surface water or groundwater.

Clean up spill as soon as possible, observing precautions in Exposure Controls/Personal Protection. Use appropriate techniques such as applying non-combustible absorbent materials or pumping.

Materials: non-combustible absorbent materials

Liquid evaporates and forms vapor (fumes) which can catch fire and burn with explosive force. Invisible vapor spreads easily and can be set on fire by many sources such as pilot lights, welding equipment, and electrical motors and switches.

USE AND STORE ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AREA. Keep container closed when not in use.

Biodiesel soaked rags may be washed with soap and water and allowed to dry in well ventilated area.

DO NOT USE OR STORE near heat, sparks, flames, or hot surfaces.

Use general ventilation, local exhaust ventilation, or a combination of both.

Selection of chemical PPE depends upon operations conducted and may include chemical gloves. Refer to PPE manufacturers to obtain breakthrough time information to determine how long PPE can be used before it needs to be replaced. Unless specific glove manufacturer data indicates otherwise, the below table is based upon available industry data to assist in the glove selection process and is intended to be used as reference only. Chemical Glove Material: Nitrile (Thickness: 0.5 mm, Breakthrough Time: 5 minutes), Viton Butyl (Thickness: 0.3 mm, Breakthrough Time: 60 minutes), Butyl (Not recommended for use), Neoprene (Not recommended for use), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) (Not recommended for use).

Wear protective equipment to prevent eye contact. Selection of protective equipment may include safety glasses, chemical goggles, face shields, or a combination depending on the work operations conducted.

No respiratory protection is normally required. Use a positive pressure air-supplying respirator in circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.

Wear chemical personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent skin contact. Selection of chemical protective clothing should be performed by an Occupational Hygienist or Safety Professional and be based upon applicable standards (ASTM F739 or EN 374). Using chemical PPE depends upon operations conducted and may include chemical gloves, boots, chemical apron, chemical suit, and complete facial protection.

This material is considered stable under normal ambient and anticipated storage and handling conditions of temperature and pressure.

May react with strong acids or strong oxidizing agents, such as chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, etc.

Hazardous polymerization will not occur.

Avoid contact with heat, sparks, fire and oxidizing agents. Avoid contact with mineral acid/alkali.

Not applicable

None known (None expected)

Use material for its intended purpose or recycle if possible.
