kieselguhr). Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with regulations.
For large amounts: Dike spillage. Pump off product.
7. Handling and storage
Handling
General advice:
Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas. Refill and handle product only in closed system.
Protection against fire and explosion:
Prevent electrostatic charge - sources of ignition should be kept well clear - fire extinguishers should be kept
handy.

ACGIH TWA value 2 ppm ; Skin Designation ;
Advice on system design:
Provide local exhaust ventilation to control vapours/mists.
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection:
Wear a NIOSH-certified (or equivalent) organic vapour respirator. Observe OSHA regulations for respirator
use (29 CFR 1910.134).
Hand protection:
Chemical resistant protective gloves, Suitable materials, butyl rubber, Consult with glove manufacturer for
testing data.
Eye protection:
Tightly fitting safety goggles (chemical goggles).
Body protection:
Body protection must be chosen based on level of activity and exposure.
General safety and hygiene measures:
Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Do not breathe vapour/spray.
