UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: When involved in a fire, this material can decompose generating dusts,
irritating fumes and toxic gases (e.g., Carbon monoxide and Carbon dioxide).
Explosion Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact: Not sensitive under normal conditions.
Explosion Sensitivity to Static Discharge: Not sensitive under normal conditions.
SPECIAL FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES: 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. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SPILL AND LEAK RESPONSE: Uncontrolled releases should be responded to by trained personnel using pre-planned
procedures. Proper protective equipment should be used. In case of a spill, clear the affected area and protect people. If
the product is dried, and dusts can be generated during clean-up, dampen material prior to clean-up to avoid airborne
particulates.
RESPONSE TO INCIDENTAL RELEASES: Small scale releases, such as 1 container of this product, can generally be
handled by personnel who have received basic chemical safety training. Respond to incidental chemical releases by
wearing gloves, goggles, and appropriate body protection and by following the instructions for use presented above.
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 C: triple-gloves, chemical resistant apron, boots, and splash goggles and an Air-
Purifying respirator with high-efficiency particulate filter.
RESPONSE EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURES: Wipe-away spilled paste with damp polypads or other suitable absorbent
materials, or scrape carefully with plastic tools. Decontaminate the area thoroughly. 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. Remove 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. Control possible sources of ignition.
PROTECTIVE PRACTICES DURING MAINTENANCE OF CONTAMINATED EQUIPMENT: Follow practices indicated in
Section 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 standards.
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). Ensure eyewash/safety shower stations
are available near areas where this product is used.
RESPIRATORY 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 (Composition 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).
EYE PROTECTION: For consumer use, wearing eye protection (such as splash goggles) is advisable. However, for
specific industrial applications, enhanced eye protection can be necessary. Use approved safety goggles or safety
glasses, as described in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133. If necessary, refer to U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133, or appropriate
