IV. SPECIAL HANDLING AND WORKER PRECAUTIONS FOR STORAGE AND FIELD APPLICATION
1. Flammability:
Non-flammable.
2. Ventilation:
Normal.
3. Skin and eye contact; protective clothing; treatment in case of contact:
Use good normal hygiene and avoid contact with skin and eyes. Gloves and goggles are recommended for field application and product handling. If contact with eyes flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention. For contact with skin, wash area with soap and water. May cause redness, edema, and drying of skin. Seek medical attention if irritation develops. In case of ingestion, seek medical attention. Not considered an inhalation risk.
4.a. Maximum storage temperature: 120°F
4.b. Minimum storage temperature: 28°F
4.c. Optimum storage temperature range: 30°F - 120°F
4.d. Temperatures of phase separations and chemical changes: Temperature fluctuations will not cause separation or deterioration of product. Product blend is stable and will not undergo phase separation of ingredients or stratification of contents over time.
V. SHELF LIFE
Unlimited if unopened.
VI. RECOMMENDED APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Application Method:
Dilute product with water prior to use. Apply product via manual pressure applicator (i.e., hand pump), or other delivery equipment, to impacted surfaces. Allow product to soak prior to rinse/recovery if heavily saturated with oil. On hard surfaces, product may be applied and agitated with a brush or other physical means prior to recovery of effluent. Product may also be pre-mixed and used in a batch tank or through an eduction/metering system for flushing and recovery operations.
2. Concentration/Application Rate:
ENVIROCLEAN is a concentrated product and must be diluted prior to use. Concentrations vary based upon type of oil and degree of surface saturation. For light ends (i.e., gas condensate/gasoline) a 1% - 2% solution may be used to flush area to containment. (A higher concentration solution of 6% should be used if flammable vapor presents an explosion hazard.) For lighter oils (i.e., No. 2 Fuel Oil) a 3% solution may be used to flush impacted areas to containment. For heavy ends (i.e., crude oil/No. 6 Fuel Oil) a 6% solution of ENVIROCLEAN should be applied and allowed to soak into containment/substrate for up to an hour to allow for release of oil. The surface should then be flushed to containment with a 1% - 3% solution of ENVIROCLEAN. Product may be used as noted above through any pressure or steam equipment. The use of a “hot” unit is recommended when oils are at low temperature or have been weathered.
3. Conditions for Use:
ENVIROCLEAN may be diluted with hard, soft, brackish, salt, or most waters of sufficient quality for operations.
