SECTION 7: HANDLING & STORAGE
Precautions: Periodically clean storage and work areas where this product
is used or stored to minimize dust accumulation. Do not inhale dusts.
Store in well-ventilated area in closed containers. Use dust collectors and
local exhaust ventilation when cutting or trimming with power tools. Do
not use compressed air or dry sweeping to remove dust from work area.
Vacuum dusty clothing before removal. Launder work clothing separately
and rinse washer after use. Avoid skin contact. Do not attempt to make a
cast enclosing any part of the body using this material, as heat may cause
severe burns and expansion may result in decreased circulation that may
require surgical removal of affected tissue or amputation of limb.
Storage: Store in a cool, well-ventilated, non-combustible location, away
from all sources of ignition. Keep away from heat, steam pipes and
sunlight. Keep containers tightly closed.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS & PERSONAL
PROTECTION
Engineering controls/ventilation: Local exhaust ventilation used
in combination with general ventilation as necessary to control air
contaminants to at or below acceptable exposure guidelines.
Eye protection: Wear eye and face protection. Wear safety goggles
that meet ANSI Z87 standards and/or are tested and approved under
appropriate government standards.
Respiratory protection: Under normal working conditions with airborne
exposures below acceptable exposure guidelines, none required. Where
dust is present and for airborne exposures above acceptable limits, wear
NIOSH approved respiratory protection, such as N95 or N100 respirator, in
accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134.
Skin protection: Protective gloves and long sleeved clothing or coveralls
with loose tting cuffs and collars.
