=========== SECTION VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE ============
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
Eliminate all sources of ignition. Prevent additional discharge of material, if possible to do so without hazard.
Prevent liquid from entering sewers, watercourses, or low areas. Contain spilled liquid with sand or earth. Do not use
combustable materials such as sawdust. On water material may float or sink. Contain rapidly to minimize dispersion.
Disperse residue to reduce aquatic harm. Report per regulatory requirements.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD
Consult an expert on disposal of recovered materials and ensure compliance with federal, state, and local disposal
regulations.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING
It is recommended that any liquid product exposed to air not be highly concentrated by evaporation without first
assuring that no peroxide is present. Alternately, positive steps should be taken to reduce any accumulated peroxides
to a safe levelbefore concentrating the liquid. Use only non-sparking tools. Properly ground containers before
beginning transfer. All equipment must conform to applicable electrical code. Handle empty containers with care.
Flammable/combustable residue remains after emptying. Isolate, vent, drain, wash and purge systems or equipment before
maintenance or repair. Extinguish all ignition sources. Check atmosphere for explosiveness and oxygen deficiencies.
Wear recommended personal protective equipment. Observe precautions pertaining to confined space entry. Store only in
tightly closed, properly vented containers away from heat, sparks, open flame, and strong oxidizing agents. Storage
under nitrogen atmosphere is recommended to minimize possible formation of highlyu reactive peroxides. Store in
properly lined steel/stainless steel to avoid discoloration from mild steel copper.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
===================== SECTION VIII - CONTROL MEASURES ======================
