SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Remove sources of ignition.
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN EVENT
Small spills: Absorb in a non-combustible absorbent, such as clean sand, calcium
OF SPILL OR RELEASE
carbonate, or soda ash. Shovel into clean, dry, covered steel drums. Dispose of
promptly.
Large spills: Dike to contain and pump into clean, dry, covered steel drums for
disposal. Dispose of promptly.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Rotate stock using the oldest material first. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and
HANDLING
clothing. Use PPE as specified in Section 8. Keep containers closed to prevent
contamination. Keep away from sources of heat, sparks or flame. Do not add to hot
solvents or monomers as a violent decomposition and/or reaction may result. When
using spray equipment, never spray raw CHP onto curing or into raw resin or flues.
Keep CHP in its original container. DO NOT USE NEAR FOOD OR DRINK. Wash
thoroughly after handling.
The stability of CHP formulations is directly related to the shipping and storage
STORAGE
temperature history. Cool storage at 80癋 (27癈) or below is recommended for
longer shelf life and stability. Prolonged storage at elevated temperatures of 100癋
(38癈) and higher will cause product degradation, gassing and potential container
rupture which can result in a fire and/or explosion. Store out of direct sunlight in a
well ventilated area away from combustible and incompatible materials. DO NOT
STORE WITH FOOD OR DRINK. Refer to NFPA 432 Code for the Storage of
Organic Peroxide Formulations from the National Fire Protection Association for
additional storage information.
Unmixed, uncontaminated material, remaining at the end of the day, shall be
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
returned to a proper organic peroxide storage area. Under no circumstances should
material be returned to the original container.
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Mechanical, general.
VENTILATION
If airborne concentrations are expected to exceed acceptable levels wear a NIOSH
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
approved air-purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge or canister. When
using respirators refer to OSHA'29CFR 1910.134.
s
Safety goggles recommended. Permanent eyewash is highly recommended.
EYE PROTECTION
Protective gloves recommended, solvent resistant, such as butyl rubber, nitrile or

neoprene.
A safety shower and eyewash is recommended when the risk of a significant
