Spill or Leak Procedure
Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a disposal container. Clean up spills immediately under quailfied
supervision observing precautions in Protective Equipment section. Avoid clean up procedures that generate dust
or result in water pollution.
After removal, scrub the contaminated area with detergent and flush thoroughly with water. Absorb wash liquid
and place in the disposable container. Do not flush to sewer. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which
lead to waterways.
7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
DO NOT GET IN EYES, ON SKIN OR CLOTHING.
Minimize dust generation during handling and contact.
Wash hands thoroughly before eating, drinking or smoking.
Storage
Store in refrigerator.
Keep containers tightly closed and upright when not in use.
Storage Hazards
Store away from strong oxidizers.
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Contols
Facilities using or storing this material must be equipped with an eyewash station and safety shower.
Local exhaust ventilation, process enclosures, and other forms of engineering controls are the preferred means for
controlling exposures.
Eye Protection PPE
Do not wear contact lenses when working with this substance.
Avoid eye contact with this material. Wear chemical safety goggles.
Skin Protection PPE
Avoid skin contact with this material. Use appropriate chemical protective gloves when handling.
Showering and changing into street clothing after work is recommended.
Respiratory Protection PPE
A NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator is recommended where airborne concentrations are expected to
exceed exposure limits. Protection provided by air purifying respirators is limited.
Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if there is any potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels
are not known, or any other circumstance where air purifing respirators may not provide adequate protection.
