SECTION 6 – ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS, PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
FOR NON-EMGERGENCY PERSONNEL
Avoid unnecessary exposure or contact. Barricade the area to restrict access. Personnel not
wearing protective equipment (see Section 8) should be excluded from the area of the spill until
cleanup has been completed.
FOR EMERGENCY PERSONNEL
If specialized clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of any information in Section
8 on suitable and unsuitable materials.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Stop leak at source when it is safe to do so. Dike and contain spill. Prevent spilled material from
contaminating soil or entering drains, sewers, streams or other bodies of water.
METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR CONTAINMENT AND CLEANING UP
LARGE SPILLS
Avoid dilution with water to minimize the extent of the spill. Recover and recycle spilled product if
possible, otherwise, collect with absorbent material and transfer to appropriate containers for
disposal. Water may be used for final cleaning of the affected area.
SMALL SPILLS
Same procedures as listed above for large spills.
SECTION 7 – HANDLING AND STORAGE
PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING
PROTECTIVE MEASURES
Use in a well ventilated area. Keep out of reach of children. If user operations generate dust,
fume, or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the respective
exposure limits. Use goggles and gloves. Similar to most latex paints.
GENERAL HYGIENE
Practice reasonable care to avoid repeated, prolonged skin contact. Wash thoroughly after
handling. Do not eat, drink, smoke or use personal products when handling chemical
substances.
CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE,
INCLUDING ANY INCOMPATABILITIES
Store at temperatures between 40° F (4.4° C) and 110° F (43.3° C). Keep container closed when
not in use. PROTECT FROM FREEZING.
