dust is present, remove all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate personal protective
OF SPILL OR RELEASE
equipment as specified in Section 8. Clean up spills in a manner that does not
generate or disperse dust into the air. Use non-sparkling tools and equipment. Pick
up spill for recovery or disposal and place in a closed container.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Avoid dust formation and control ignition sources. Employ grounding, venting and
HANDLING
explosion relief provisions in accord with accepted engineering practices in any
process of capable of generating dust and/or static electricity. Empty only into inert or
non-flammable atmosphere. Emptying contents into a non-inert atmosphere where
flammable vapors may be present could cause a flash fire or explosion due to
electrostatic discharge. DO NOT USE NEAR FOOD OR DRINK. Avoid eye contact.
Use with adequate ventilation. Wear personal protection equipment recommended in
section 8. Reseal containers immediately after use.
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect
STORAGE
against physical damage. DO NOT STORE WITH FOOD OR DRINK.
Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking,
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
or using toilet facilities. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty
since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions
listed for this product.
