=========== SECTION VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE ============
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
Remove all sources of ignition (sparks, flames, and hot surfaces). Avoid breathing vapors. Ventilate area. Remove with
an inert absorbent and non-sparking tools.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD
Dispose in accordance with state ,federal and local regulations. Do not incinerate closed containers.
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
Page: 4
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING
Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, dry, well ventilated area away from all possible ignition sources. Store large
quanties of material in buildings designed for the storage of flammable liquids.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
Employees should be trained in safety measures that should be taken when using this product.
SECTION VIII - CONTROL MEASURES
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
Avoid breathing vapors or spray mist. Wear a properly fitted respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA (TC-23c) for use with
paints during application and until all vapors are exhausted. In confined areas, or where continuous spray operations are
typical, or proper respirator fit is not possible, wear a positive-pressure supplied air respirator (TC-19c). In all cases
follow respirator manufactures directions for respirator use. Do not allow anyone without protection into the painting
area.
VENTILATION
Provide sufficient ventilation to keep contaminates below applicable OSHA requirements.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES
Neoprene gloves impervious to organic solvents are recommended.
EYE PROTECTION
Use safety eyewear designed to protect against liquid splash.
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT
Impervious coveralls are recommended.
WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES
Eye wash and safety showers in the work place are recommended. Wash hands before eating and smoking.
