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.
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.
