    OF WATER. LARGE SPILLS: ELIMINATE ALL IGNITION SOURCES, GROUND ALL
    EQUIPMENT; DO NOT WALK THROUGH SPILL; STOP SPILL IF POSSIBLE;
    PREVENT ENTRY INTO SEWER S, CONFINED SPACES, ETC., USE A VAPOR
    SUPPRESSING FOAM TO REDUCE VAPORS; ABSORB SPILL WITH
    NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATTER AND TRANSFER TO CONTAINERS; USE NON-SPARKING
    TOOLS TO COLLECT ABSORBED MATERIALS.
Neutralizing Agent:NO DATA PROVIDED BY RESPONSIBLE PARTY.
