6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Observe precautions from other sections.
6.2. Environmental precautions
Not applicable.
6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Not applicable.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
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
8.1. Control parameters
Occupational exposure limits
If a component is disclosed in section 3 but does not appear in the table below, an occupational exposure limit is not available
for the component.

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).
