IV. SPECIAL HANDLING AND WORKER PRECAUTIONS FOR STORAGE AND FIELD APPLICATION
1. Flammability: IMO – Non-flammable; DOT – Non-hazardous.
2. Ventilation: Handle in well ventilated space, local exhaust is recommended if threshold limit values are exceeded. If used in a confined area, wear a respirator. If used outdoors, no special equipment is needed.
3. Skin and eye contact; protective covering; treatment in case of contact: Use good normal hygiene and avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear rubber or vinyl gloves when applying the product. Impermeable protective gloves are recommended for sensitive skin types. If contact is made, wash with soap and water. Contact may cause redness, edema and drying of skin. Seek medical attention if irritation develops. Wear protective eye goggles at all times. If in contact with eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention. Rinse contaminated clothing, shoes, goggles and gloves in simple tap water to remove any chemical residue. In case of ingestion, give water and call a doctor or medical professional. Remove to fresh air.
4.a. Maximum storage temperature: 160°F
4.b. Minimum storage temperature: -25ºF
4.c. Optimum storage temperature range: 60-90°F
4.d. Temperatures of phase separations and chemical changes: Temperature fluctuations will not cause separation or deterioration of the product. There are no chemical changes to the product at either the maximum or minimum temperature, the product is stable and will not undergo phase separation of ingredients or stratification of contents over time.
V. SHELF LIFE
The shelf life of an unopened TASMANIA C-CLENZ drum is 3 years. In case of opened drums, shelf life is 2 years. Keep product away from direct sunlight.
VI. RECOMMENDED APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Application Method: TASMANIA C-CLENZ is for land use only. There are no application restrictions. The preferred application method is to apply the product over pollutant or stained area with a hand sprayer, pressure sprayer or a heated pressure spray unit. For the first application of TASMANIA C-CLENZ to shoreline contamination, use cold water/low pressure washing (<50 PSI) to remove any liquid oil that has adhered to the substrate, pooled on the surface or become trapped in vegetation. The average soak time of light oil contamination is 15-30 minutes. The average soak time of heavy oil contamination is 30-45 minutes, which allows the viscous oil deposits to soften. The actual soak time may vary with temperature, oil density and degree of weathering. The product starts to work on breaking the physical bond between the oil and the surface to be cleaned. In the case of heavy oil on the rocks or oil displaced into crevices, use warm water and moderate to high pressure washing with a temperature of 90ºF and 100 PSI. When accessible or applicable, a work boat with mounted spray booms can be used to spray the product on the shoreline. Personnel can also apply the product with a hand sprayer or pressure sprayer.
2. Concentration/Application Rate: For heavily contaminated oil on rocks, use a full strength solution (non-diluted). For heavily weathered oil on beaches and rocks, a dilution of 5 parts water and 1 part product is ideal. For light contamination on the rocks, beaches and sand, a dilution of 10 parts water and one part product is used. Product can be diluted with either fresh or salt water. For removing oil from vegetation, a diluted solution of 15 parts water and one part product is preferred. Application rate is 1 gallon of product per square foot of surface area.
3. Conditions for Use: Used for cleaning petroleum fractions from shoreline, beaches and rocks. The water temperature can vary from 30-140ºF. Best results are obtained by allowing either the non-diluted of diluted product to soak for 15-45 minutes depending on the severity of the pollutant on the area and whether the oil is weathered or is heavy oil. Adjust the pressure angle of the sprayer for optimal results. TASMANIA C-CLENZ can be used for contamination with all types of oil including heavily weathered and emulsified to light oil fractions, only the dilution amount will be adjusted. In the case of high temperatures above 75ºF, use full strength TASMANIA C-CLENZ as the temperature and humidity will cause rapid evaporation of the spray. Greater results occur at ambient temperatures greater than 50ºF. The salinity of the water has no effect on the performance of the product. Prior to application, use booms to prevent the product and oil mixture from entering open water. The product and oil mixture can be removed by either vacuum, skimmers or oil absorbents being applied in the boomed off area. The product and oil mixture, along with containment materials, should be disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations.
