vapor and, when applicable, H2S, or Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) can be used depending on
the size of spill and potential level of exposure. If the exposure cannot be completely characterized or an
oxygen deficient atmosphere is possible or anticipated, SCBA is recommended. Work gloves that are
resistant to aromatic hydrocarbons are recommended. Note: gloves made of polyvinyl acetate (PVA) are not
water-resistant and are not suitable for emergency use. Chemical goggles are recommended if splashes or
contact with eyes is possible. Small spills: normal antistatic work clothes are usually adequate. Large spills:
full body suit of chemical resistant, antistatic material is recommended.
SPILL MANAGEMENT
Land Spill: Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Absorb or
cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers. Recover by pumping
or with suitable absorbent.
Water Spill: Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Warn other shipping. Remove from the surface by
skimming or with suitable absorbents. Seek the advice of a specialist before using dispersants.
Water spill and land spill recommendations are based on the most likely spill scenario for this material; however,
geographic conditions, wind, temperature, (and in the case of a water spill) wave and current direction and
speed may greatly influence the appropriate action to be taken. For this reason, local experts should be
consulted. Note: Local regulations may prescribe or limit action to be taken.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Large Spills: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later recovery and disposal. Prevent entry into waterways,
sewers, basements or confined areas.

HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING
Avoid contact with skin. Prevent small spills and leakage to avoid slip hazard. Material can accumulate static
charges which may cause an electrical spark (ignition source). When the material is handled in bulk, an
electrical spark could ignite any flammable vapors from liquids or residues that may be present (e.g., during
switch-loading operations). Use proper bonding and/or earthing procedures. However, bonding and earthing
