protective equipment including splash goggles, full suit, vapor respirator, boots, and chemically
Procedures:
resistant gloves. If emergency personnel are unavailable, contain spilled material. For small spills,
add absorbent (soil may be used in the absence of other suitable materials), scoop up material and
place in a sealable, liquid-proof container for disposal. For large spills, dike spilled material or
otherwise contain material to ensure runoff does not reach a waterway. Place spilled material in an
appropriate container for disposal.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Avoid breathing fumes. General mechanical ventilation can be expected to effectively remove and
Handling:
prevent build up of any vapor or mist generated from handling this product in a closed environment.
Protect eyes to prevent contact. Avoid exposure to skin. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Keep container in a cool, dry, and well ventilated place inaccessible to children and pets. Keep
Storage:
containers sealed until ready for use.

Personal Protection:
Eyes: Wear safety glasses with side shields. Wear additional eye protection such as chemical goggles or
face shield if splashing or spraying hazard exists. Have an eye wash station available.
Body: To prevent skin contact wear coveralls, apron, boots, or lab coat. Have a safety shower close to the
workstation.
Hands: Avoid skin contact by using chemically resistant gloves.
Respiratory: Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk
assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated
exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits or the selected respirator.
Open wounds or skin surface disruptions should be covered with a chemical resistant patch to
