Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions: Use personal protection recommended in Section 8.
Environmental Precautions: Take precautions to prevent contamination of ground and surface waters. Do not flush into
sewers or storm drains.
Methods for Containment & Clean-up: Eliminate sources of ignition. Dike area to contain spill. Ventilate the area with
fresh air. If in confined space or limited air circulation area, clean-up workers
should wear appropriate respiratory protection. Recover or absorb spilled
material using an absorbent designed for chemical spills. Place used absorbents
into proper waste containers.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Handling Procedures: Do not use near potential sources of ignition. Do not use on energized equipment. Use with
adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhaling vapors. Use caution
when near energized equipment. The metal container will conduct electricity if it contacts a live
source. This may result in injury to the user from electrical shock and/or flash fire. For product
use instructions, please see the product label.
Storage Procedures: Store in a cool dry area out of direct sunlight. Aerosol cans must be maintained below 120°F /
49°C to prevent cans from rupturing.
Aerosol Storage Level: III

Controls and Protection:
Engineering Controls: Area should have ventilation to provide fresh air. Local exhaust ventilation is generally
preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at the source, preventing
dispersion into the general work area. Use mechanical means if necessary to maintain vapor
levels below the exposure guidelines. If working in a confined space, follow applicable OSHA
regulations.
Respiratory Protection: None required for normal work where adequate ventilation is provided. If engineering controls
are not feasible or if exposure exceeds the applicable exposure limits, use a NIOSH-approved
cartridge respirator with organic vapor cartridge. Air monitoring is needed to determine actual
employee exposure levels. Use a self-contained breathing apparatus in confined spaces and
for emergencies.
