Small spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to remove
residual contamination.
Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Environmental
precautions
Avoid discharge into drains, water courses, or onto the ground.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Do not breathe vapor. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Avoid prolonged exposure. Provide
adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Observe good industrial
practices.
Storage
Store locked up. Store in original tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials.
Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. (See section 10 of the SDS)

Engineering Controls (Ventilation):
Good ventilation required (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If
applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below
recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Provide
eyewashes station.
Respiratory Protection:
NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL HANDLING CONDITIONS
When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate certified respirators. Use a positive-
pressure air-supplied respirator if there is any potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or any other
circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
Skin Protection:
Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves and clothing.
Eye Protection:
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). Face shield is recommended.
General Hygiene Considerations:
Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or
smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants.
