SECTION VI 鈥? ACCIDENTAL RELEAESE
Steps to be Taken in Case of Leaks or Spills:
Powder and fragments should be cleaned up using a method that will avoid the creation of dust in
the workplace atmosphere. The use of a vacuum cleaner fitted with an exhaust air filter fine
enough to trap the dust is recommended. Note: In the event of high dust levels, use approved
respiratory protective equipment.

SECTION VII 鈥? STORAGE, HANDLING AND USE PROCEDURES
Normal Storage and Handling:
Store in dry conditions. Avoid dust generation.
Normal Use:
Dust may be generated if products have to be machined, cut to size, broken up, or removed from
equipment. In such circumstances, the use of appropriate respirators as well as eye protection is
recommended.
SECTION VIII 鈥? PERSONAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
Respiratory Protection:
For dust and fume concentrations below the applicable exposure level, PPE is not required. If
dust concentration levels are above the applicable exposure levels follow the requirements for
respirator use.
Ventilation:
General and local exhaust ventilation, engineering controls, and good housekeeping practices are
recommended to keep dust concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
Protective Gloves:
Gloves should be used.
Eye Protection:
Safety glasses should be worn.
Other Protective Clothing and Equipment:
See above.
