Static Hazard: Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when handling this material.
To minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding may be necessary but may not, by themselves, be sufficient.
Review all operations which have the potential of generating and accumulating an electrostatic charge and/or a
flammable atmosphere (including tank and container filling, splash filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch
loading, filtering, mixing, agitation, and vacuum truck operations) and use appropriate mitigating procedures.
Container Warnings: Container is not designed to contain pressure. Do not use pressure to empty container or it
may rupture with explosive force. Empty containers retain product residue (solid, liquid, and/or vapor) and can be
dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks,
static electricity, or other sources of ignition. They may explode and cause injury or death. Empty containers
should be completely drained, properly closed, and promptly returned to a drum reconditioner or disposed of
properly.
SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Consider the potential hazards of this material (see Section 2), applicable exposure limits, job activities, and other
substances in the work place when designing engineering controls and selecting personal protective equipment. If
engineering controls or work practices are not adequate to prevent exposure to harmful levels of this material, the
personal protective equipment listed below is recommended. The user should read and understand all instructions
and limitations supplied with the equipment since protection is usually provided for a limited time or under certain
circumstances.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Use in a well-ventilated area.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Eye/Face Protection: No special eye protection is normally required. Where splashing is possible, wear safety
glasses with side shields as a good safety practice.
Skin Protection: No special protective clothing is normally required. Where splashing is possible, select
protective clothing depending on operations conducted, physical requirements and other substances in the
workplace. Suggested materials for protective gloves include: 4H (PE/EVAL), Nitrile Rubber, Silver Shield,
Viton.
Respiratory Protection: No respiratory protection is normally required.
If user operations generate an oil mist, determine if airborne concentrations are below the occupational exposure
limit for mineral oil mist. If not, wear an approved respirator that provides adequate protection from the measured
concentrations of this material. For air-purifying respirators use a particulate cartridge.
Use a positive pressure air-supplying respirator in circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide
adequate protection.
