SECTION - 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Small Spill Absorb with an inert solid and scoop up for disposal, then

rinse soiled area with water down the drain. Large Spill Stop leak at the source and collect into a suitable

container, then treat as a small spill.

SECTION - 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied.

Since emptied containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or solid), all hazard precautions given in the data sheet must be observed.

Storage Store in a cool, dry place. Keep container closed when not in use.

SECTION - 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL

PROTECTION

Eye Protection Chemical Splash goggle in compliance with OSHA

regulations are advised: however , OSHA regulations also permit other type safety glasses. Consult your safety representative.

Skin Protection Wear rubber gloves (consult your safety equipment supplier). To prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact, wear impervious clothing and boots.

Respiratory Protection If workplace exposure limits of product or any component are exceeded (see exposure guidelines), NIOSH/OSHA approved air supplied respirator is advised in the absence of proper environmental control. OSHA relations also permit other NIOSH/OSHA respirators (negative pressure type) under specific conditions (see your industrial hygienist). Engineering or administrative controls should be implemented to reduce exposure.

Engineering Controls Provide sufficient mechanical (general and local exhaust) ventilation to maintain exposure below level of overexposure (from known, suspected or apparent adverse effects).
