IV. SPECIAL HANDLING AND WORKER PRECAUTIONS FOR STORAGE AND FIELD APPLICATION
1. Flammability: Non-flammable (DOT: Not regulated unless shipped by land in a package having a capacity of 3,500 gallons or more). Combustible Class IIIA per OSHA, 29 CFR 1910.106
2. Ventilation: No special requirements
3. Skin and eye contact; protective clothing; treatment in case of contact: No special equipment of clothing required; however, goggles are recommended where splash is potential. If eye or skin irritation occurs, flush with ample fresh water.
4.a. Maximum storage temperature: 120°F continuous, 140°F up to 5 days
4.b. Minimum storage temperature: -20°F
4.c. Optimum storage temperature range: 0°F to 120°F
4.d. Temperatures of phase separations and chemical changes: Stable
V. SHELF LIFE
Two (2) years in sealed polydrums or totes (as delivered).
VI. RECOMMENDED APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Application Method: DE-SOLV-IT (DSI) is to be used in neat form. DSI works just as well with fresh or salt water. This product works well with all types of oils. Product can be used on oil-contaminated beaches.
2. Concentration/Application Rate: Use DSI directly on the contaminated area, or up to approximately a 1:10 dilution ratio (product:water). Lighter oils will require a 1:10 to 1:30 product to water dilution ratio. Warmer waters (greater than 78°F) and/or good agitation during application will require less product. Response personnel can determine best method to collect clean up residue. Clean up residue should be collected and disposed of in accordance to local, state, and federal regulations.
3. Conditions for Use: Effective in salt or fresh water, with no limitations as to usage within optimum temperature parameters (application may be made at or above 35°F, with optimum above 48°F).
