STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
Sweep or vacuum for recovery or disposal. Spills may cause very slippery surfaces when wet.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS:
Minimize compressed air blow down or other practices that generate high dust levels.
HANDLING:
Fine dust of this product can form explosive mixtures with air and poses a definite fire and explosion hazard at all times; keep away
from ignition sources. May cause very slippery surfaces when wet.
STORAGE:
Leave room for expansion in case of contact with aqueous fluid, as the product swells upon wetting.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING:
No special handling precautions are required. Keep in cool, dry place away from open flame.
