7. HANDLING and STORAGE
PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING: WARNING! Wadded up and oil soaked paper towels, rags or other combustible materials
thrown into the trash pose an extreme fire hazard when placed in trash, or left in a pile and can start a fire. The same is true if the absorbent
used to clean up a spill is paper, wood or other combustible material; Do NOT throw in trash. All materials contaminated by this product
should be place in sealed containers and treated as highly flammable. Avoid spontaneous combustion by soaking rags, brushes rollers,
etc. contaminated with product, in water then place into a sealed metal container before proper disposal. All employees who handle
this material should be trained to handle it safely. As with all chemicals, avoid getting this product ON YOU or IN YOU. Use in a well
ventilated location. Keep away from heat, sparks, and other sources of ignition. Use non-sparking tools. Open containers slowly on a stable
surface. Bond and ground containers during transfers of material. Do not expose containers to extreme temperatures. Avoid breathing
airborne mists, sprays, or vapors generated by this product. Wash thoroughly after using this product. Do not eat or drink while using this
product. Remove contaminated clothing immediately.
CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE: Product should be stored in a sealed metal container. Store in a dry location at the recommended
temperature of 10-32.2°C (50-90°F). Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Empty containers may contain residual amounts of
this product; therefore, empty containers should be handled with care. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10, Stability
and Reactivity). Material should be stored in secondary containers, as appropriate. Containers should be separated from oxidizing materials
by a minimum distance of 20 ft. or by a barrier of non-combustible material at least 5 ft. high having a fire- resistance rating of at least 0.5
hours. Storage areas should be made of fire resistant materials. Post warning and “NO SMOKING” signs in storage and use areas, as
appropriate. Have appropriate extinguishing equipment in the storage area (e.g., sprinkler system, portable fire extinguishers). Inspect all
incoming containers before storage to ensure containers are properly labeled and not damaged. Refer to NFPA 30, Flammable and
Combustible Liquids Code, for additional information on storage. Empty containers may contain residual liquid or vapors that are
flammable; therefore, empty containers should be handled with care. Never perform any welding, cutting, soldering, drilling, or other hot
work on an empty container or piping until all liquid, vapors, and residue have been cleared.
SPECIFIC END USE(S): This product is used as a wood stain. Follow all industry standards for use of this product.
PROTECTIVE PRACTICES DURING MAINTENANCE OF CONTAMINATED EQUIPMENT: Follow practices indicated in Section 6
(Accidental Release Measures). If necessary, ensure that application equipment is locked and tagged-out safely. Collect all rinsates and
dispose of according to applicable Federal, State, or local procedures.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS - PERSONAL PROTECTION
VENTILATION AND ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use with adequate ventilation to ensure exposure levels are maintained below the
limits provided in this section, if applicable. Exhaust directly to the outside, taking necessary precautions for environmental protection.
Ensure eyewash/safety shower stations and appropriate fire protection is available near areas where this product is used.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Maintain airborne contaminant concentrations below exposure limits listed in this section, if applicable.
If respiratory protection is needed, use only protection authorized in the U.S. Federal OSHA Standard (29 CFR 1910.134), applicable U.S.
State regulations, or the Canadian CSA Standard Z94.4-93. Oxygen levels below 19.5% are considered IDLH by OSHA. In such
atmospheres, use of a full-facepiece pressure/demand SCBA or a full facepiece, supplied air respirator with auxiliary self- contained air
supply is required under OSHA’s Respiratory Protection Standard (1910.134-1998). The following are NIOSH respiratory protection
guidelines for Stoddard Solvent (a related chemical to the Mineral Spirits component).
