MSDS

: Incipient fire responders should wear eye protection. Structural firefighters must wear
Self -Contained Breathing Apparatus and full protective equipment. Move containers from fire area if it can be done without risk to
personnel. If possible, prevent runoff water from entering storm drains, bodies of water, or other environmentally sensitive areas.
6. AC CIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SPILL AND LEAK RESPONSE
: Trained personnel using pre-planned procedures should respond to uncontrolled releases. Proper
protective equipment should be used. In case of a spill, clear the affected area and protect people.
RESPON SE TO INCIDENTAL RELEASES
: Personnel who have received basic chemical safety training can generally handle small -
scale releases, such as 1 container of this product. Respond to incidental chemical releases by wearing gloves, goggles, and
appropriate body protection.
RESPONSE TO NON-INCIDENTAL RELEASES
: Respond to non-incidental chemical releases of this product, such as the
simultaneous puncturing of several containers, by clearing the impacted area and contacting appropriate emergency personnel.
Clean up should only be done by qualified personnel. Responders should wear the level of protection appropriate to the type of
chemical released, the volume of the material spilled, and the location where the incident has occurred. Minimum Personal Protective
Equipment should be Level B: triple-gloves, chemical resistant apron, boots, and splash goggles and Self-Contained Breathing
Apparatus. Level B should also be used when oxygen levels are below 19.5% or are unknown.
RESPONSE EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURES
: Absorb spilled liquid with polypads or other suitable absorbent materials.
Decontaminate the area thoroughly. Prevent spill rinsate from contamination of storm drains, sewers, soil or groundwater. Place all
spill residues in a suitable container and seal. Dispose of in accordance with applicable U.S. Federal, State, or local procedures or
appropriate standards of Canada (see Section 13, Disposal Considerations).

7. HANDLING and STORAGE
WORK PRACTICES AND HYGIENE PRACTICES
: As with all chemicals, avoid getting this product ON YOU or IN YOU. Wash
thoroughly after using this product. Do not eat or drink while using this material. Avoid generating dusts, mists or sprays of this product.
Remo ve contaminated clothing immediately.
STORAGE AND HANDLING PRACTICES
: All employees who handle this material should be trained to use it safely. Open containers
carefully on a stable surface. Empty containers can contain residual material; therefore, empty containers should be handled with care.
Store containers in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight, sources of intense heat, or where freezing is possible. Store away from
incompatible materials (see Section 10, Stability and Reactivity). Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Inspect all incoming
containers before storage, to ensure containers are properly labeled and not damaged.
PROTECTIVE PRACTICES DURING MAINTENANCE OF CONTAMINATED EQUIPMENT
: Follow practices indicated in Sec tion
6 (Accidental Release Measures). Make certain that application equipment is locked and tagged-out safely if necessary. Collect all
rinsates and dispose of according to applicable U.S. Federal, State, or local procedures or appropriate Canadian stand ards.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS - PERSONAL PROTECTION
VENTILATION AND ENGINEERING CONTROLS
: Use with adequate ventilation to ensure exposure levels are maintained below the
limits provided in Section 2 (Composition and Information on Ingredients).
RESPIRATO RY PROTECTION
: None needed under normal conditions of use. Use NIOSH approved respirators if ventilation is
inadequate to control dusts, mists, fumes or vapors. Maintain airborne contaminate concentrations below guidelines listed in Section 2
(Compositio n and Information on Ingredients). Oxygen levels below 19.5% are considered IDLH by OSHA. In such atmospheres use of
a full- face -piece pressure/demand SCBA or a full face-piece, supplied air respirator with auxiliary self-contained air supply is required
under OSHA
s Respiratory Protection Standard (29 CFR 1910.134).
The following NIOSH Respiratory Protection Guidelines are applicable to crystalline Silica, a component of this product, and are
provided for additional information:
Up to 0.5 mg/m
3
: Any a ir - purifying respirator with a high - efficiency particulate filter
All higher concentrations: see NIOSH guidelines.
EYE PROTECTION
: For consumer use, wearing eye protection (such as splash goggles) is advisable. However, for specific industrial
applicatio ns, enhanced eye protection can be necessary. Use approved safety goggles or safety glasses, as described in OSHA 29 CFR
1910.133 . If necessary, r efer to U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133, or appropriate Canadian standards.
HAND PROTECTION
: For consumer use, wearing protective gloves is recommended. For specific industrial applications, wear
chemical impervious gloves (e.g., Neoprene or Nitrile). If necessary, r efer to U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.138 or the appropriate standards
of Canada.
BODY PROTECTION
: For consumer use, no specific body protection is normally needed. For specific industrial applications, body
protection is not normally needed. Use body protection appropriate for task (e.g., Tyvek suit, rubber apron). If a hazard of injury to the
feet exists d ue to falling objects, rolling objects, where objects can pierce the soles of the feet or where employee
s feet can be exposed to
electrical hazards, use foot protection, as described in U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.136.
HMIS PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT RATING
: Industrial Use situations: B; Safety glasses and gloves.
