Page 3 of 6
Methods for Containment & Clean-up:
Remove all sources of ignition. Dike area to contain spill. Ventilate the area
with fresh air. If in confined space or limited air circulation area, clean-up
workers should wear appropriate respiratory protection. Recover or absorb
spilled material using an absorbent designed for chemical spills. Place used
absorbents into proper waste containers.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Handling Procedures:
Do not use on energized equipment or near sources of ignition. Do not inhale vapors. Use
local ventilation.
Storage Procedures:
Store in a cool dry area out of direct sunlight. Aerosol cans must be maintained below 120 F
to prevent cans from rupturing.
Aerosol Storage Level:
I

Engineering Controls:
Area should have ventilation to provide fresh air. Local exhaust ventilation is generally
preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at the source, preventing
dispersion into the general work area. Use mechanical means if necessary to maintain
vapor levels below the exposure guidelines. If working in a confined space, follow
applicable OSHA regulations.
Respiratory Protection:
None required for normal work where adequate ventilation is provided. If engineering
controls are not feasible or if exposure exceeds the applicable exposure limits, use a
NIOSH-approved cartridge respirator with organic vapor / paint cartridge. Use a self-
contained breathing apparatus in confined spaces and for emergencies.
Eye/face Protection:
For normal conditions, wear safety glasses. Where there is reasonable probability of liquid
contact, wear splash-proof goggles.
Skin Protection:
Use protective gloves such as neoprene or nitrile. Also, use full protective clothing if there
is prolonged or repeated contact of liquid with skin.
