SEC TION 6 - AC C IDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personnel Precautions: Use proper personal protective equipment as lis ted in section 8.
Environmental Precautions: A void runoff into storm sewers, ditc hes, and waterways.
Spill Cleanup Measures: A bsorb spill with inert material (e.g., dry sand or earth), then plac e in a chemical
waste container. P rovide ventilation. Clean up s pills immediately observing
precautions in the protective equipment section.
SEC TION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE
Handling: Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor and contact with eyes,
skin and clothing.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area away from sources of heat, c ombustible
materials, and incompatible substances. Keep container tightly closed when not
in use.
Hygiene Practices: Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid c ontact with eyes and s kin. Avoid inhaling
vapor or mist.
SEC TION 8 - EXPOSURE C ONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTEC TION - EXPOSURE GUIDELINES
Engineering Controls: Use appropriate engineering control s uch as process enclos ures, local exhaust
ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels below
recommended exposure limits. Good general ventilation should be sufficient to
control airborne levels. Where such systems are not effective wear suitable
personal protective equipment, which performs satisfactorily and meets O SHA
or other rec ognized standards. Consult with local procedures for selection,
training, inspection and maintenance of the personal protective equipment.
Eye/Face Protection: Wear appropriate protective glasses or splash goggles as described by 29 CFR
1910.133, O SHA eye and face protection regulation, or the European s tandard
EN 166.
Skin Protection Description: Chemical-resistant gloves and chemical goggles, face-shield and synthetic
apron or coveralls should be used to prevent contact with eyes, skin or c lothing.
Respiratory P rotection: A NIO SH approved air-purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge or
canis ter may be permissible under certain circums tances where airborne
concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits. Protection provided by
air purifying respirators is limited. 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.
O ther Protective: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash
fac ility and a safety shower.
