ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Spill control procedures
(water):
Waste disposal method:
Other:
Immediately turn off or isolate any source of ignition (pilot lights, electrical equipment,
flames, heaters, etc.). Evacuate area and ventilate. Personnel wearing proper protective
equipment should contain spill immediately with inert materials (sand, earth, chemical
spill pads of cotton) by forming dikes. Dikes should be placed to contain spill in a manner
that will prevent material from entering sewers and waterways. Large spill, once
contained, may be picked up using explosion proof, non-sparking vacuum pumps,
shovels, or buckets, and disposed of in suitable containers for disposal. Clean up
residue with water. If a large spill occurs notify appropriate authori
ti
es. In case of road
spill or accident contact Chem-Trec (800-424-9300).
Try to c
ontain large spills with floating booms to prevent spill from spreading. Remove
from surface by skimming or with suitable adsorbents. If a large spill occurs notify
appropriate authorities (normally the National Response Center or Coast Guard at 800-
424-8802).
Do not empty into drains. All disposals must comply with federal, state, and local
regulations. The material, if spilled or discarded may be a regulated waste. Refer to
state and local regulations. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations may apply
for transporting this material when spilled. See Section 14.
CAUTION - If spilled material is cleaned up using a regulated solvent, the resulting waste
mixture will be regulated.

HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling procedures:
Storage procedures:
Additional information:
Keep containers closed when not in use. Do not transfer to unmarked containers. Empty
containers retain product residue which may exhibit hazards of material, therefore do not
pressurize, cut, glaze, weld, or use for any other purposes. Return drums to reclamation
centers for proper cleaning and reuse.
Handling temperatures should not exceed 60°C (140°F) to minimize danger of burns.
Open containers carefully in a well ventilated area or use appropriate respiratory
protection. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Store containers away from heat, sparks, open flame, or oxidizing materials. Extended
storage at excessive temperatures may produce odorous and toxic fumes from product
decomposition.
No additi
onal information.
SECTION 8
EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Personal protection:
Respiratory protection:
Eye protection:
Hand protection:
Other protection:
Applicable mainly to persons in repeated contact situations such as packaging of
product, service/maintenance, and cleanup/spill control personnel.
None required if ventilation is adequate. Otherwise a respiratory protection program
meeting OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed. Where
misting may occur, wear an MSHA/NIOSH approved (or equivalent) half-mask form
dust/mist air purifying respirator.
Eye protection is strongly recommended. Wear safety glasses with side shields or
vented/splash proof goggles (ANSI Z87.1 or approved equivalent).
Im
pervious, chemically resistant gloves such as neoprene or nitrile rubber to avoid skin
sensitization and absorption.
Use of an apron and overboots of chemically impervious materials such as neoprene or
nitrile rubber is recommended based on level of activity and exposure. If handling hot
material use insulated protective equipment. Launder soiled clothes. Properly dispose of
contaminated leather articles and other materials which cannot be decontaminated.
