ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Environmental Precautions
Prevent large quantities of the material from entering drains or watercourses.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Sweep up or vacuum and transfer into suitable containers for recovery or disposal.
7.
HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling
Wear appropriate protective clothing. Prevent skin and eye contact.
Conditions for safe storage
Pressurized extinguishers should be properly stored and secured to prevent falling or being knocked over.
Do not drag, slide or roll extinguishers. Do not drop extinguishers or permit them to strike against each
other. Never apply flame or localized heat directly to any part of the extinguisher or plastic container.
Store pressurized extinguishers and plastic containers away from high heat sources. Storage area should
be: - cool - dry - well ventilated - under cover - out of direct sunlight

Appropriate engineering controls
Use with adequate ventilation. If this product is used in a pressurized system, there should be local
procedures for the selection, training, inspection and maintenance of this equipment. When used in large
volumes, use local exhaust ventilation.
Individual protection measures
Respiratory Protection
Not normally required. Use dust mask where dustiness is prevalent, or TLV is exceeded. In oxygen deficient
atmospheres, use a self-contained breathing apparatus, as an air purifying respirator will not provide
protection.
Skin Protection
Not normally needed when used as a portable fire extinguisher. Use gloves if irritation occurs.
