STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
Provide maximum ventilation. Only personnel equipped with proper respiratory, skin, and eye protection should be
permitted in the area. Remove all sources of ignition. Take up spilled material with sand, vermiculite, or other
noncombustible absorbent material and place in clean, empty containers for disposal. Only the spilled material and the
absorbant should be placed in this container.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN DURING HANDLING AND STORAGE:
Vapors may collect in low areas. If this material is part of a multiple component system, read the Material Safety Data
Sheet(s) for the other component or components before blending as the resulting mixture may have the hazards of all of
its parts. Containers should be grounded when pouring. Avoid free fall of liquids in excess of a few inches.
STORAGE: Do not store above 120 degrees F.(48 degrees C.). Store large quantities in buildings designed and
protected for storage of NFPA Class IB flammable liquids.
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS & PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Provide general dilution or local exhaust ventilation in volume and pattern to keep the concentration of ingredients listed in
Section 8 below the lowest suggested exposure limits, the LEL below the stated limit, and to remove decomposition
products during welding or flame cutting.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYES:
Wear chemical-type splash goggles or full face shield when possibility exists for eye contact due to splashing or spraying
liquid, airborne particles, or vapors.
SKIN/GLOVES:
Wear protective clothing sufficient to cover exposed skin surfaces. For applications where skin contact is likely and
impermeable clothing is necessary, select clothing constructed of: butyl rubber. No specific permeation/degradation testing
have been done on protective clothing for this product. Recommendations for skin protection are based on infrequent
contact with this product. For frequent contact or total immersion, contact a manufacturer of protective clothing for
appropriate chemical impervious equipment. Clean contaminated clothing and shoes.
RESPIRATOR:
Overexposure to vapors may be prevented by ensuring proper ventilation controls, vapor exhaust or fresh air entry. A
NIOSH- approved air purifying respirator with the appropriate chemical cartridges or a positive-pressure, air-supplied
respirator may also reduce exposure. Read the respirator manufacturer's instructions and literature carefully to determine
the type of airborne contaminants against which the respirator is effective, its limitations, and how it is to be properly fitted
and used. Provide general dilution or local exhaust ventilation in volume and pattern to keep the concentration of
ingredients listed in Section 2 below the lowest suggested exposure limits, the LEL below the stated limit, and to remove
decomposition products during welding or flame cutting.
