VII. Spill or Leak Procedures
Read and understand the manufacturer's instructions and the precautionary label on this product. See American National Standard
Z-49.1, "Safety in Welding and Cutting," published by the American Welding Society, P. O. Box 351040, Miami, FL 33135, and
OSHA Publication 2206 (29 C.F.R. 1910), U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402; and ESAB's publications 52-
529 and 2035 for more details on many of the following:
Steps to be taken if Material is Released or Spilled: Dilute with water, absorb.
Waste Disposal Method: Atomize into incinerator. Combustion may be improved by mixing with a more flammable solvent.
Dispose in sanitary landfill in accordance with federal, state, and local codes.
VIII. Precautions for Safe Handling and
Use/Applicable Control Measures
Respiratory Protection (specify type): None required in normal use. For spill cleanup, use NIOSH/MSHA approved gas
mask for organic vapors up to 2% (20,000 ppm). Do not use in atmospheres containing less than 19.5% oxygen.
Ventilation: General dilution ventilation is acceptable for controlling work place vapor concentrations to within the
recommended TLV. (Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary at emission sources to maintain concentrations within the
TLV.)
Protective Gloves: Rubber, neoprene, PVC.
Eye Protection: Chemical safety goggles or face shield.
Other Protective Equipment: Eye wash.
Precautions to be taken in handling and storing:
Avoid eye contact.
Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of vapors and/or mists.
Wash hands thoroughly after handling. This recommendation is intended for good personal hygiene and to prevent
accidental ingestion or eye contact, not because of any known toxicity due to skin contact.
Other Precautions: Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved mist respirator with a full facepiece where excessive concentrations of mist
are present or likely to be present. DO NOT use a mist respirator for protection against vapors.
IX. Special Precautions
Precautions to be taken in handling and storing: Keep container closed. FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY.
Other Precautions: None.
