SECTION VII ?PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Respiratory Protection: None normally required. If vapors, mists or aerosols are generated,
wear a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator.
Respirator Type: NIOSH/MSHA approved organic vapor plus dust/mist filter respirator.
Ventilation: Local exhaust ventilation is recommended if mists or aerosols are generated.
Otherwise use general exhaust ventilation.
Eye Protection: Use chemical goggles
Protective Gloves: Impermeable gloves
Protective Clothing: This includes impervious gloves, boots, apron, and protective suit.
SECTION VIII ?SPILL/RELEASE PROCEDURES
Spill Mitigation Procedures: Evacuation procedures must be placed in effect. Utilize
emergency response personal protective equipment prior to the start of any response. Stop
source as soon as possible and notify appropriate personnel.
Air Release: Vapors may be suppressed by the use of water fog or spray. Contain all liquid for
treatment or neutralization.
Water Release: This material has a density similar to and is dispersible in water. Notify all
downstream water users of possible contamination. Divert water flow around spill if possible
and safe to do so. If unable to divert, create an overflow dam to contain material. Continue to
handle as described in land spill.
Land Spill: Create a trench to contain materials. Spill materials may be absorbed using sand,
clay, earth or commercial absorbent. DO NOT place materials back in their original container.
Decontaminate all clothing and the spill area using soap solution and flush with large amounts of
water.
Spill Residues: Dispose of in accordance with all local, state and federal regulations.
Personnel Protection for Emergency Spill and Fire Fighting Situations: Additional
protective clothing must be worn to prevent personal contact with this material. Those items
include but are not limited to boots, gloves, and splash-proof goggles. Compatible materials for
response to the material are neoprene, chlorinated polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, butyl rubber,
viton, polyvinyl alcohol, and saranex.
SECTION IX ?SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS OR OTHER COMMENTS
Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area. DO NOT store at temperatures above 60 o C (140o F).
DO NOT allow product to come in contact with nitrites (product contains ethanolamines, which
could lead to formation of nitrosamines, which have been shown to cause cancer in laboratory
animals. This material is not regulated as a DOT hazardous material.
