6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1 Spills:
Eliminate all possible sources of ignition.
Small Spills
: A release of a single container or several containers presents a minimal hazard. Allow containers to vent and remove
container for appropriate disposal. If any liquid remains, wash contaminated area with soap and water, absorb with paper towels, and
rinse with water.
Large Spills
: If a large quantity of containers of this product is involved, evacuate immediate area. Trained personnel using pre-planned
procedures should respond to uncontrolled releases. Proper protective equipment should be used. If a large quantity of product is
involved, the minimum Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should be Level B: Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus. Allow the gas to
dissipate. Monitor the surrounding area for the level of oxygen and level of combustible vapors. The atmosphere must have at least 19.5
percent oxygen before personnel can be allowed in the area without Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus. Monitor area and confirm
levels are bellow exposure limits given in Section 8 (Exposure Controls-Personal Protection), if applicable, before non-response personnel
are allowed into the spill area. Clean up spilled product using appropriate absorbent material (e.g., sand, diatomaceous earth, peat).
Mitigation and Disposal
: Place all spill residue in an appropriate container and seal. Decontaminate the area thoroughly. If necessary,
discard all stained response equipment or rinse with soapy water before returning such equipment to service. Do not mix with wastes
from other materials. Dispose of in accordance with applicable Federal, provincial, State, and local regulations (see Section 13). For
spills on water, contain, minimize dispersion and collect. Dispose of recovered material and report spill per regulatory requirements, if
necessary. Dispose of through an authorized waste transporter and treatment/storage/disposal facility (TSDF).
7. HANDLING & STORAGE INFORMATION
7.1 Work & Hygiene Practices:
Wear gloves, glasses and self-contained mask. Warn about risk of vapor inhalation. Wash hands with water and soap immediately
after handling then rinse in case of contact. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke.
7.2 Storage & Handling:
Use and keep away from flame, heat sources and functioning electrical devices. Use in a well ventilated area. Store in original
packaging. Keep out of reach of children. Do not store in temperatures above 50°C. Keep out of direct sunlight.
7.3 Special Precautions:
Do not spray on a naked flame or any incandescent material. When using do not smoke. Avoid breathing vapors or spray mists.
Avoid any contact.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS & PERSONAL PROTECTION
8.1 Ventilation & Engineering Controls:
Avoid breathing the vapors generated by this product. Use in a well-ventilated location (e.g., local exhaust ventilation, fans. Do not
eat, drink, or smoke while handling this product. Ensure eyewash/safety shower stations are available near areas where this product is
used.
Use a non-sparking, grounded, explosion-proof ventilation system separate from other exhaust ventilation systems. Exhaust directly
to ambient air, taking necessary precautions for environmental protection. Supply sufficient replacement air to make up for air
removed by exhaust systems.
8.2
Respiratory Protection:
Maintain airborne contaminant concentrations below exposure limits listed above if applicable. If respiratory protection is needed, use
only protection authorized in the U.S. Federal OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard (29 CFR 1910.134) and equivalent U.S. State
standards, Canadian CSA Standard Z94.4-93, European Standard EN 529:2005 and Respiratory Protection Standards of EU member
states, or Australia. Oxygen levels below 19.5% are considered by U.S. OSHA to be Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH). 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).
8.3 Eye Protection:
Splash goggles or safety glasses. If necessary, refer to U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133, the Canadian CSA Standard Z94.3-M1982, Industrial
Eye and Face Protectors, or the requirements of European Standard CR 13464:1999 or equivalent Australian standards for additional
information.
8.4 Hand Protection:
Wear butyl rubber, Teflon™, Barricade™, Chemrel™, or similar gloves for routine industrial use. Use triple gloves for spill response, as
stated in Section 6 (Accidental Release Measures) of this MSDS. If necessary, refer to U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.138, appropriate Standards
of Canada, or European Standard CEN/TR 15419:2006 or equivalent Australian standards.
8.5 Body Protection:
When chemical contact is possible, use splash apron, work uniform, and shoes or coverlets to prevent skin contact. Full-body
chemical protective clothing is recommended for emergency response procedures. If necessary, refer to appropriate Standards of
Canada or the European Standard CEN/TR 15419:2006, for further information. If a hazard of injury to the feet exists due to falling
objects, rolling objects, where objects may pierce the soles of the feet or where employee’s feet may be exposed to electrical hazards,
use foot protection, as described in U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.136 and the Canadian CSA Standard Z195-M1984, Protective Footwear.
