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: Avoid contact with eyes, slight irritation may result. Wear splash goggles or full face-shield and have eye washing equipment available in areas where potential is high for eye contact. Skin contact will not cause irritation in the majority of users. If eye or skin irritation occurs, flush with plenty of fresh water. No special precautions or additional protective equipment are required during handling or use. Water Works™ Heavy Duty Degreaser Concentrate is provided with a Safety Data Sheet. 4.a. Maximum storage temperature: 100°F continuous, 110°F up to 5 days, keep away from direct sun light. 4.b. Minimum storage temperature: 35°F 4.c. Optimum storage temperature range: >32°F to <100°F 4.d. Temperatures of phase separations and chemical changes: Stable and phase separation will not occur at temperatures within the storage temperature range.

V. SHELF LIFE
12 months from date of manufacturer in unopened original packaging (as delivered). Containers should always remain closed when not in use to prevent contamination and evaporation.

VI. RECOMMENDED APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Application Method: Product may be applied to rocks, shoreline, and beaches for removal of oil. Select proper dilution depending on product types and contaminated material surface prior to application. For treatment of large areas, properly diluted product may be applied by spraying with a pressure washer, portable fire pump or any other suitable pump with seawater or freshwater suction that is equipped with a chemical inductor or feed pump. For smaller areas, properly diluted product may be applied with scrubber, mop, cloth or damp sponge. Apply liberally, adjusting dilution on site as necessary. 2. Concentration/Application Rate: For heavily weathered oil on rocks, applying concentrated or diluted solution at 5 parts water to 1 part product is recommended. For heavily weathered oil on beaches/sand, a diluted solution of 2 parts water to 1 part product is ideal. For tar balls, no dilution is necessary and applying product at full strength is recommended. For removing oil from vegetation, a diluted solution of 10-20 parts water to 1 part product is preferred. Product may be diluted with either saltwater or freshwater. Warmer waters (greater than 78°F) and/or good agitation during application will require less product. 3. Conditions for Use: Can be used in freshwater, estuarine, and marine environments at all temperatures. Prior to application, booms, oil skimmers, or other appropriate containment and collection mechanism should be deployed and operational. Collected product and oil mixture should be disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations.
