attention.
Immediately remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly
Skin contact:
with mild soap and water. Flush with lukewarm water for 15
minutes. If sticky, use waterless cleaner first. Seek medical
attention if ill effect or irritation develops.
If a large quantity is swallowed, give lukewarm water (pint ?liter) if
Ingestion:

potential combustibility. Landfill solids at permitted sites. Use registered transporters.
Bum concentrated liquids. Avoid flameouts. Assure emissions comply with applicable
regulations. Dilute aqueous waste may biodegrade. Avoid overloading/ poisoning plant
biomass. Assure effluent complies with applicable regulations.
SECTION 9 ?PERSONAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
No occupational exposure limits have been developed for this material. Where
Respiratory protection:
exposure through inhalation may occur from use, NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory
protection equipment is recommended.
Adequate local exhaust.
Ventilation:
When skin contact is possible, protective clothing including gloves, apron, sleeves,
Skin protection:
boots, head and face protection should be worn. The equipment must be cleaned
thoroughly after each use.
Eye protection, including both chemical splash goggles and face shield, must be worn
Eye protection:
when possibility exists for eye contact due to splashing/spraying liquid, airborne
particles, or vapor. Contact lenses must not be worn.
At elevated temperatures, special ventilation may be required even if the flash point
Engineering Controls:
has not been exceeded. Flammable mists or aerosols can be generated below the
flash point of high boiling liquids.
Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in the
Work/Hygienic Practices:
immediate vicinity of any potential exposure. Use good personal hygiene practices.
Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking, or using toilet facilities. Promptly remove
soiled clothing/wash thoroughly before reuse. Shower after work using plenty of soap
