6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Not applicable.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
For industrial or professional use only. Avoid breathing of dust created by sanding, grinding or machining. Combustible dust
may form by action of this product on another material (substrate). Dust generated from the substrate during use of this
product may be explosive if in sufficient concentration with an ignition source. Dust deposits should not be allowed to
accumulate on surfaces because of the potential for secondary explosions.
7.2. Conditions for safe storage including any incompatibilities
No special storage requirements.
SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection

8.2. Exposure controls
8.2.1. Engineering controls
Provide appropriate local exhaust ventilation for sanding, grinding or machining. Use general dilution ventilation and/or local
exhaust ventilation to control airborne exposures to below relevant Exposure Limits and/or control
dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. If ventilation is not adequate, use respiratory protection equipment. Provide local exhaust at
process emission sources to control exposure near the source and to prevent the escape of dust into the work area. Ensure that
dust-handling systems (such as exhaust ducts, dust collectors, vessels, and processing equipment) are designed in a manner to
prevent the escape of dust into the work area (i.e., there is no leakage from the equipment).
8.2.2. Personal protective equipment (PPE)
