IV. SPECIAL HANDLING AND WORKER PRECAUTIONS FOR STORAGE AND FIELD APPLICATION
1. Flammability: Non–flammable (DOT: Non–hazardous) 2. Ventilation: No special requirements 3. Skin and eye contact; protective clothing; treatment in case of contact: No special equipment or clothing required; however, gloves and goggles are recommended. If eye or skin irritation occurs, flush with plenty of fresh water. If ingested, may cause nausea or vomiting, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting. In case of spills, disperse with water, treat like a surfactant or soap spill. 4.a. Maximum storage temperature: 100°F continuous, 120°F up to 5 days 4.b. Minimum storage temperature: 35°F 4.c. Optimum storage temperature range: 50°F to 100°F 4.d. Temperatures of phase separation and chemical changes: Stable

VI. RECOMMENDED APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Application Method: Product may be applied by any type of liquid delivery system (i.e., boom sprayers, spray pumps). For smaller spills a drum pump with sprayer may be used, mixing with fresh or salt water as required depending on the type and viscosity of oil being treated. Typically containment is not necessary. 2. Concentration/Application Rate: a. On heavy oils: use product directly on the spill, or up to approximately a 1:10 dilution ratio (product:water). Lighter oils will require a 1:10 to 1:30 product to water ratio. Warmer waters (greater than 78 °F) and/or good agitation during application will require less product. b. Lagoon application: 2 gallons per surface acre of lagoon or 16 ounces per 3,000 cubic feet. Maintain daily at 50 percent initial application. Use spray applicator for even distribution. c. Shoreline application: 1 gallon per 10 cubic yards of contaminated soil applied at 3 percent concentration. Maintain weekly with 50 percent initial application. Use spray applicator for even distribution. Till soil after application or use gravity fed drip system. 3. Conditions for Use: Effective in salt water 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). Product may be used on any age crude and any type. Optimum salinity range is from fresh water to salt water of 110 ppt.
