**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material, (e.g., dry sand or earth), then
place into a chemical waste container. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and
can be dangerous. Avoid contact with heat, sparks and flame. Do not
pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty
containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Flammables-area.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations below the permissible exposure limits. Use process
enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls
to control airborne levels.
