|
1. Flammability: The flash point of COREXIT® EC7664A is 116ºF. It is therefore classified as flammable by IMO rules, but not by DOT rules. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. 2. Ventilation: Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors. Use with ventilation equal to unobstructed outdoors in moderate breeze. 3. Skin and eye contact; protective clothing; treatment in case of contact: Avoid contact with skin or eyes and breathing mist or vapors. The use of gloves and goggles is recommended. In case of contact flush exposed area with water. 4.a. Maximum storage temperature: 130ºF 4.b. Minimum storage temperature: 10ºF 4.c. Optimum storage temperature range: 40ºF to 100ºF 4.d. Temperatures of phase separations and chemical changes: No phase separations or chemical changes are expected unless evaporation is allowed to occur. |
| V. SHELF LIFE |
| The shelf life of unopened drums of COREXIT® EC7664A is unlimited. Partially used containers should be kept tightly closed to retard evaporation of solvents. |
| VI. RECOMMENDED APPLICATION PROCEDURE |
|
1. Application Method: Spray from boats, aircraft, fire education systems on boats, helicopter buckets, hand-held or backpack sprayers, or from hoses attached to small pumps. COREXIT® EC7664A should be applied in the form of small droplets - never as a fog or mist. 2. Concentration/Application Rate: COREXIT® EC7664A diluted 1-3 percent in water sprayed on the shoreline before the oil comes ashore will protect the beaches, marshes, rocks, etc. from oil contamination. Full strength COREXIT® EC7664A can be sprayed onto the surf which washes the shoreline. 3. Conditions for Use: COREXIT® EC7664A (1-3 percent in water) will protect beaches, marshes, rocks, and other shoreline structures from oil contamination if applied before the oil comes in contact with them. The dilute solution is sprayed on the shoreline area. COREXIT® EC7664A is also useful in washing oil from beaches, sea walls, docks, boats, and spill cleanup equipment. Use a 1-3 percent solution of COREXIT® EC7664A in water, and apply from portable sprayers. If oil deposits are heavy or weathered, a short pre-soak with a hydrocarbon-based shoreline cleaner like COREXIT® EC9580A is recommended. |
