must comply with federal, state, and local regulations. The material, if spilled or
discarded may be a regulated waste. Refer to state and local regulations.
Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations may apply for transporting this
material when spilled. See Section 14.
Other:
CAUTION - If spilled material is cleaned up using a regulated solvent, the
resulting waste mixture will be regulated.
SECTION 7
HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling procedures:
Keep containers closed when not in use. Do not transfer to unmarked
containers. Fire extinguishers should be kept readily available. See NFPA 30
and OSHA 1910.106 -- Flammable and Combustible Liquids. Empty containers
retain product residue which may exhibit hazards of material, therefore do not
pressurize, cut, glaze, weld, or use for any other purposes. Return drums to
reclamation centers for proper cleaning and reuse.
Sto
rage procedures:
Store containers away from heat, sparks, open flame, or oxidizing materials.
Additional information:
No additional information.
SECTION 8
EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Personal protection:
Applicable mainly to persons in repeated contact situations such as packaging
of product, service/maintenance, and cleanup/spill control personnel.
Respiratory protection:
None required if airborne concentrations are maintained below threshold limits
listed on page one. Otherwise a respiratory protection program meeting OSHA
1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed. Where misting may
occur, wear an MSHA/NIOSH approved (or equivalent) half-mask form
dust/mist air purifying respirator.
Eye protection:
Eye protection is strongly recommended. If material is handled such that it
could be splashed into the eyes, wear safety glasses with side shields or
vented/splash proof goggles (ANSI Z87.1 or approved equivalent).
Hand protection:
Impervious gloves such as neoprene or nitrile rubber to avoid skin sensitization
and absorption.
Other protection:
Use of an apron and overboots of chemically impervious materials such as
neoprene or nitrile rubber is recommended to avoid skin sensitization and
absorption. If handling hot material use insulated protective equipment.
Launder soiled clothes. Properly dispose of contaminated leather articles and
other materials which cannot be decontaminated.
Local control
measures:
Use adequate ventilation when working with material in an enclosed area.
Mechanical methods such as fume hoods or area fans may be used to reduce
localized vapor/mist areas. If vapor or mist is generated when the material
handled, adequate ventilation in accordance with good engineering practice
must be provided to maintain concentrations below the specifed exposure.
Eyewash stations and showers should be available in areas where this material
is used and stored.
Other:
Consumption of food and drink should be avoided in work areas where product
is present. Always wash hands and face with soap and water before eating,
drinking or smoking.
