2. Ventilation: Normal ventilation, use of a respirator in confined areas is recommended.
3. Skin and eye contact; protective clothing; treatment in case of contact: As in handling any industrial chemical, the standard precautions of wearing chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection are recommended. Additional precautions include using non-sparking tools and avoiding exposure to aerosol vapor.
4.a. Maximum storage temperature: 212oF.
4.b. Minimum storage temperature: 32oF
4.c. Optimum storage temperature range: 68oF.
4.d. Temperatures of phase separations and chemical changes: May begin freezing below 25oF as product begins to get turbid. Stir until product becomes homogenous. No chemical changes.
V. SHELF LIFE
Two years (unopened). After confirming there is no contamination in opened barrels, opened barrels will have a shelf life of two years.
VI. RECOMMENDED APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Application Method: ABLUOL OSASA H/C is water-based formulation. The product is used to remove oil from hard surfaces such as shorelines, rock, and sand. Prior to application of ABLUOL OSASA H/C, collection booms, oil skimmers, sorbent pads, or other appropriate containment and collection mechanism must be deployed and operational. Apply diluted product via manual pressure washer, spraying tools, or hand pumps.

2. Concentration/Application Rate: ABLUOL OSASA H/C is a highly concentrated product and must be diluted with water (salt or fresh) before use. Dilution ratios vary depending on the specific conditions of the contaminated site. The dilution ratio is approximately 1:80 to 1:100 (product:water). The application ratio of this diluted product to oil is approximately 1:10. For shorelines and rock, ABLUOL OSASA H/C is to be used in approximately a 1:80 to 1:100 dilution ratio (product:water). ABLUOL OSASA H/C is sprayed directly on the oiled rocky shorelines or rock. A dilution of ABLUOL OSASA H/C with warm waters (up to 176oF or 80oC) during application will enhance its washing effect on shorelines and rocks. After applying the diluted ABLUOL OSASA H/C by hand or spraying tools, soaking for approximately 10 minutes, the washing work can be started. Application of pressure washer will accelerate the washing process. For use on sand, ABLUOL OSASA H/C is to be used in approximately a 1:80 to 1:100 dilution ratio (product:water) under stirring. Oil will separate from sand and float on the surface of spray water for timely collection or adsorption.

3. Conditions for Use: Do not mix the product with any other cleaner or allow other cleaners to contact surfaces while using ABLUOL OSASA H/C. ABLUOL OSASA H/C does not contain petroleum distillates. The product works well with all types of oils and with salt or fresh water. Use booms or other containments prior application of ABLUOL OSASA H/C to prevent the product/oil mixture from reaching open water. Collect, remove, and dispose of product/oil mixture from site according to federal, state, and local regulations.
