MSDS

Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb
with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Dispose of via a
licensed waste disposal contractor.

7. Handling and storage
Handling
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Workers should wash hands
and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Do not ingest. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Use only with adequate ventilation Wear appropriate
respirator when ventilation is inadequate.
Storage Store in accordance with local regulations. Store away from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-
ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see section 10). Keep container tightly closed
and sealed until ready for use. Containers that are opened must be carefully resealed and kept
upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment to
avoid environmental contamination.
Sulfur compounds in this material may decompose when heated to release hydrogen sulfide gas
which may accumulate to potentially lethal concentrations in enclosed air spaces. Vapor
concentrations of hydrogen sulfide above 50 ppm, or prolonged exposure at lower concentrations,
may saturate human odor perceptions so that the smell of gas may not be apparent. Exposure to
concentrations of hydrogen sulfide vapor above 500 ppm may cause rapid death. Do not rely on
the sense of smell to detect hydrogen sulfide.

Ingredient name Occupational exposure limits
Some states may enforce more stringent exposure limits.
While specific OELs for certain components may be shown in this section, other components may be present in any mist, vapor or
dust produced. Therefore, the specific OELs may not be applicable to the product as a whole and are provided for guidance only.
Control Measures
Use only with adequate ventilation If user operations generate dust, fumes, vapor or mist, use
process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep worker
exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits.
Hygiene measures Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating,
smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Appropriate techniques
should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before
reusing.
Personal protection
Eyes Avoid contact with eyes. Safety glasses with side shields or chemical goggles.
Skin and body Avoid contact with skin and clothing. Wear suitable protective clothing.
Respiratory Use adequate ventilation. In accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety work practices,
airborne exposures should be controlled to the lowest extent practicable.
