prevent pressure build-up, autoignition or explosion.
Protective clothing (fire) : Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent.
Section 6. Accidental release measures
Spill and Leak : Immediately contact emergency personnel. Eliminate all ignition sources. Keep unnecessary personnel
away. Use suitable protective equipment (Section 8). Do not touch or walk through spilled material.
If emergency personnel are unavailable, contain spilled material. For small spills add absorbent (soil
may be used in the absence of other suitable materials) and use a non-sparking or explosion proof
means to transfer material to a sealed, appropriate 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.
Dispose of according to Section 13. If necessary, report spill to applicable government agency.
Section 7. Handling and storage
Handling : Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Keep container closed when not in use. Use
only with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame.
To avoid fire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by grounding and bonding
containers and equipment before transferring material. Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating,
lighting and material handling) equipment. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Use ventilation to remove decomposition products formed during welding or flame cutting of surfaces
coated with this product.
Storage : Store in an approved area. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly
closed and sealed until ready for use. Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame).
Other Precautions : All precautions must be observed. Empty container may retain product residues.

Section 8. Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
Selection of personal protective equipment (PPE) is to be established by performing a PPE hazard assessment. In the U.S.A,
OSHA requires completion of a certified PPE hazard assessment as described in 29 CFR 1910.132.
Engineering controls : Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors
below their respective occupational exposure limits. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers
are proximal to the work-station location.
Personal protection
Eyes : Safety glasses.
Body : Lab coat.
Respiratory : Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate.
Hands : Wear appropriate protection.
Barrier creams are not a replacement for full physical protection
Feet : Wear appropriate protection.
Protective clothing :
(pictograms)
HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Good personal hygiene practices are required at all times when handling chemicals. These practices
include, but are not limited to, washing when safety equipment is removed, at the end of each shift or when going on breaks and
especially if contamination occurs.
