=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point Method:CC
Flash Point:=-30.C, -22.F
Autoignition Temp:=100.C, 212.F
Lower Limits:1.3
Upper Limits:50.0
Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL (ABC); CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2); WATER FOG
    OR WATER SPRAY. IT IS BEST EXTINGUISHED BY THE USE OF WATER FOG OR
    SPRAY.
Fire Fighting Procedures:COMPLETELY BLANKET THE FIRE WITH WATER FOG OR 
    WATER SPRAY TO PUT OUT THE FIRE AND COOL THE EQUIPMENT. THIS WILL
    PREVENT RE-IGNITION OF CARBON DISULFIDE. CARBON DIOXIDE AND DRY
    CHEMICAL MAY BE USED ON  SMALL FIRES.  FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR
    FULL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND NIOSH APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED
    BREATHING APPARATUS
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CARBON DISULFIDE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE,
    VOLATILE LIQUID WITH LOW FLASH POINT, WIDE EXPLOSIVE RANGE AND AN
    EXTREMELY LOW AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE. CONTACT OF VAPOR IN
    CONCENTRATION WITHIN EXPLOSIVE RANGE  WITH MATERIALS HAVING
    TEMPERATURES OF 212F/MORE MAY CAUSE AUTOIGNITION. THIS MATERIAL IS
    SENSITIVE TO STATIC DISCHARGE.

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

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE AREA OF SPILL. ELIMINATE ALL SOURCES
    OF IGNITION. REMOVE ALL NON-ESSENTIAL PERSONNEL FROM AREA. CLEAN-UP
    PERSONNEL SHOULD WEAR PROPER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND CLOTHING.
    ABSORB MATERIAL WITH  ABSORBANT AND CONTAINERIZE FOR DISPOSAL.
Neutralizing Agent:NOT RELEVANT.

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

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED
    AREA AWAY FROM FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AND SOURCES OF COMBUSTION.
    FIREFIGHTING EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE WITHIN EASY REACH. HIGHLY
    VOLATILE. DO NOT STORE IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT .
Other Precautions:DO NOT BREATHE VAPORS. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
    AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN, EYES AND CLOTHING. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER
    HANDLING. REMOVE AND WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:A NIOSH/MSHA CHEMICAL CARTRIDGE RESPIRATOR
    SHOULD BE WORN IF PEL OR TLV IS EXCEEDED.
Ventilation:LOCAL/MECHANICAL:YES
Protective Gloves:NITRILE, BUTYL OR EQUIVALENT
Eye Protection:SPLASH PROOF CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES SHOULD BE WORN AT
    ALL TIMES.
