Steps To Follow If Material Is Spilled Or Released:

        Remove all sources of ignition. Avoid any and all situations which could initiate the material, such as friction,

        impact, heat, sparks, or electrostatic discharge. Wet down material with water. Sweep up spill with a soft bristle

        brush and a non-sparking pan or shovel. Place material in a properly labeled storage container and store in an

        approved storage magazine for further disposition.

Waste Disposal Method:

        Dispose of in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal regulations.

Precautions To Be Taken In Handling And Storage:

        Handle with care. Store only in authorized High Explosives magazine with compatible material and away from all

        sources of ignition and flammable materials. Do not store with Initiating (Primary) explosives.

Other Precautions:

        Material should remain in original shipping container or equivalent for storage purposes.







SECTION VIII - PERSONAL PROTECTION INFORMATION

Respirator Protection (Specify Type):

         Dust mask is recommended when handling dry material.

Ventilation:

         Local Exhaust -            Hoods for dusty operations are recommended.

         Mechanical (General) - General ventilation necessary.

         Special -                  Dust collection system required if hoods are utilized.

         Other -                    n/a

Protective Gloves:

         For prolonged or repeated skin contact, impervious gloves are recommended.

Eye Protection:

         Safety glasses or goggles that meet or exceed ANSI Z87.1 (latest revision)

Other Protective Clothing Or Equipment:

         Cotton clothing (including undergarments); cotton coveralls or lab coat; conductive-soled footwear

Work/Hygienic Practices:

         Wash hands thoroughly after handling; daily clothing change; daily shower; no eating or drinking in exposed

         locations







SECTION IX - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

Precautions To Be Taken:

        CAUTION: High explosives are extremely dangerous. Only highly trained and qualified personnel should utilize

        this material. Explosives must be tested for compatibility with any materials which they contact. Clean up any

        spills of material immediately. Proper housekeeping techniques must be maintained to minimize the accumulation

        of explosive dust. Follow all safety regulations and precautions when handling, storing, or processing explosive

        material.
