Fire Fighting Procedures
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or
equivalent) and full protective gear. Cool with water spray.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Procedures
Remove sources of ignition and ventilate area. Absorb spill with inert material and place in a chemical
waste container. Obey relevant local, state, provincial and federal laws and regulations. Do not
contaminate any lakes, streams, ponds, groundwater or soil. Use personal protective equipment. See
Material Safety Data Sheet section 8, Exposure Controls/Personal Protection.
7. Handling and Storage
Handling
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate
ventilation. The need for grounding and bonding of containers in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR
1910.106 and NFPA 77 should be assessed for all product transfers.
Handling
Do not return residues to the storage containers.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place. Keep container closed when not in use. Do not store together with
accelerators.

OEL-STEL (Mexico) not established
Engineering Controls (Ventilation)
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to control airborne
exposure.
Respiratory Protection
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 or applicable
federal/provincial requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant
respirator use. NIOSH's "Respirator Decision Logic" may be useful in determining the suitability
of various types of respirators.
Eye Protection
Use safety glasses (ANSI Z87.1 or approved equivalent).
Skin Protection
on handling of larger quantities: face mask, chemical-resistant boots and apron
Hand Protection
The glove(s) listed below may provide protection against permeation. Gloves of other chemically
resistant materials may not provide adequate protection:
nitrile rubber gloves
Chemical-resistant gloves should be worn whenever this material is handled.
Gloves should be removed and replaced immediately if there is any indication of degradation or
chemical breakthrough.
For each work-place a suitable glove type has to be selected.
Other Protective Equipment
A safety shower and eye wash fountain should be readily available. To identify additional
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements, it is recommended that a hazard assessment
in accordance with the OSHA PPE Standard (29CFR1910.132) be conducted before using this
product.
