SEC TION 6 - ACC IDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personnel Precautions: Us e proper personal protective equipment as listed in section 8.
Environmental Precautions: A void runoff into storm sewers, ditches, and waterways.
Spill Cleanup Measures: A bsorb spill with inert material (e.g., dry sand or earth), then place in a chemical
waste container. Provide ventilation. Clean up s pills immediately observing
precautions in the protec tive equipment section.
SEC TION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE
Handling: Us e 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, combustible
materials, and incompatible substances. Keep container tightly closed when not
in use.
Hygiene Practices: Wash thoroughly after handling. A void contact with eyes and skin. Avoid inhaling
vapor or mist.
SEC TION 8 - EXPOSURE C ONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTEC TION - EXPOSURE GUIDELINES
Engineering Controls: Use appropriate engineering control such as process enclosures, 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 OSHA
or other recognized 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, OSHA eye and face protection regulation, or the European standard
EN 166.
Skin Protection Description: Chemical-resistant gloves and chemical goggles, face-shield and s ynthetic
apron or coveralls s hould be used to prevent contac t with eyes, skin or clothing.
Respiratory Protection: A NIO SH approved air-purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge or
canister may be permissible under certain circumstances 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 res pirators may
not provide adequate protection.
O ther Protective: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash
facility and a safety shower.
