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

Extinguishing Media:USE WATER SPRAY. NEUTRALIZE W/SODA ASH/SLAKED LIME.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING & NIOSH APPROVED
    SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS W/FULL FACEPIECE OPERATED IN THE
    PRESSURE DEMAND/OTHER POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE. STAY AWAY FROM ENDS
    OF TANKS. COOL TANK S W/WATER SPRAY UNTIL WELL AFTER FIRE IS OUT.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:EXTEME HEAT/CONTACT W/METALS CAN RELEASE
    FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS.

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

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE AREA. WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
    ISOLATE AREA. KEEP UNNECESSARY/UNPROTECTED PERSONNEL FROM ENTERING.
    CONTAIN & RECOVER LIQUID WHEN POSSIBLE. NEUTRALIZE & ABSORB W/INERT
    MATERIAL; VERMICULITE , DRY SAND/EARTH & PLACE IN A CHEMICAL WASTE
    CONTAINER. DON'T USE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, SAWDUST. DON'T FLUSH TO
    SEWER.
Neutralizing Agent:ALKALINE MATERIAL; SODA ASH, LIME.

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

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A COOL, DRY, VENTILATED
    STORAGE AREA W/ACID RESISTANT FLOORS & GOOD DRAINAGE. PROTECT FROM
    PHYSICAL DAMAGE. KEEP OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT & AWAY FROM HEAT,
    WATER & INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS. DON'T  WASH OUT CONTAINER & USE IT
    FOR OTHER PURPOSES. USE ONLY W/ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
Other Precautions:WHEN DILUTING, THE ACID SHOULD ALWAYS BE ADDED SLOWLY
    TO WATER & IN SMALL AMOUNTS. NEVER USE HOT WATER & NEVER ADD WATER
    TO THE ACID. WATER ADDED TO ACID CAN CAUSE UNCONTROLLED BOILING &
    SPLASHING. WH EN OPENING METAL CONTAINERS, USE NON-SPARKING TOOLS
    BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF HYDROGEN GAS BEING  PRESENT.
