Containment/Clean up:

Note: See Section 8 for Personal Protective Equipment for Spills. Call [phone], if additional information is
required.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Use with adequate ventilation. Traces of benzene (carcinogen) may form if heated in air above 300°F (149°C). Provide
ventilation to control vapor exposure within inhalation guidelines when handling at elevated temperatures. Review the
OSHA benzene regulation for detailed information on safe handling requirements. Avoid eye contact.

Use reasonable care and store away from oxidizing materials.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Component Exposure Limits

There are no components with workplace exposure limits.

Engineering Controls

Local Ventilation: None should be needed.
General Ventilation: Recommended.

Personal Protective Equipment for Routine Handling

Eyes:
Skin:
Suitable Gloves:
Inhalation:

Determine whether to evacuate or isolate the area according to your local emergency plan.
Observe all personal protection equipment recommendations described in Sections 5 and 8.
For large spills, provide diking or other appropriate containment to keep material from
spreading. If diked material can be pumped, store recovered material in appropriate
container. Clean up remaining materials from spill with suitable absorbant. Clean area as
appropriate since spilled materials, even in small quantities, may present a slip hazard. Final
cleaning may require use of steam, solvents or detergents. Dispose of saturated absorbant or
cleaning materials appropriately, since spontaneous heating may occur. Local, state and
federal laws and regulations may apply to releases and disposal of this material, as well as
those materials and items employed in the cleanup of releases. You will need to determine
which federal, state and local laws and regulations are applicable. Sections 13 and 15 of this
MSDS provide information regarding certain federal and state requirements.

Use proper protection - safety glasses as a minimum.
Washing at mealtime and end of shift is adequate.
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices.
No respiratory protection should be needed.
