IV. SPECIAL HANDLING AND WORKER PRECAUTIONS FOR STORAGE AND FIELD APPLICATION
1. Flammability: Non-flammable
2. Ventilation: Use in well ventilated area.
3. Skin and eye contact; protective clothing; treatment in case of contact: Protective clothing is recommended. Avoid eye contact. In case of eye contact, immediately flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Get prompt medical attention. Avoid direct contact with skin and clothing. In case of skin contact, immediately flush with large amounts of water. Remove contaminated clothing, including shoes, after flushing has begun. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. For open systems were contact is likely, wear long sleeve shirt, chemical resistant gloves, and protective chemical goggles.
4.a. Maximum storage temperature: 130°F/55°C
4.b. Minimum storage temperature: 30°F/-1°C
4.c. Optimum storage temperature range: 40°F to 100°F/4°C to 38°C
4.d. Temperatures of phase separations and chemical changes: None
V. SHELF LIFE
The shelf life of unopened drums of ACCELL CLEAN® SWA is unlimited. Containers should always remain capped when not in use to prevent contamination and evaporation.
VI. RECOMMENDED APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Application Method: Spray ACCELL CLEAN® SWA onto oil-contaminated shorelines, mangroves, or seagrasses full strength as applied. Allow to soak for 15-30 minutes. Rocks may be scrubbed with a stiff bristle brush where appropriate. Rinse with fresh or salt water as appropriate. For weathered crude oil on sand, transfer oil-contaminated sand to sand washing equipment. Agitate sand/ACCELL CLEAN® SWA solution. ACCELL CLEAN® SWA will lift the oil from the sand due to its low interfacial tension. Remove water from sand by centrifuge.

2. Concentration/Application Rate: Recommended application rate is 1 gallon per 100 square feet, dependent on the amount of oil and the degree of weathering. For weathered crude oil from sand, prepare a cleaning solution of 0.25%-2.0% ACCELL CLEAN® SWA using fresh or salt water.

3. Conditions for Use: Collect the oil/product residue from the water’s surface using skimmers, absorbent pads, or other conventional means. Dispose of used, clean up residue in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. Dispose of clean sand as appropriate and ACCELL CLEAN® SWA solution can be recycled after centrifuge.
