    PRESSURE DEMAND OR OTHER POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:DANGEROUS FIRE HAZARD WHEN EXPOSED TO
    HEAT OR FLAME. VAPORS ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR/MAY TRAVEL A
    CONSIDERABLE DISTANCE TO A SOURCE OF IGNITION/FLASHBACK.

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

Spill Release Procedures:SHUT OFF IGNITION SOURCES. STOP LEAK IF YOU
    CAN DO IT W/O RISK. USE WATER SPRAY TO REDUCE VAPORS. FOR SMALL
    SPILLS, TAKE UP W/SAND OR OTHER ABSORBENT MATERIAL/PLACE INTO

Other Precautions:BONDING/GROUNDING: SUBSTANCE W/LOW
    ELECTROCONDUCTIVITY, WHICH MAY BE IGNITED BY ELECTROSTATIC SPARKS,
    SHOULD BE STORED IN CONTAINERS WHICH MEET THE BONDING/GROUNDING
    GUIDELINES SPECIFIED IN NFPA 77-19 83, RECOMMENDED PRACTICE.
