appropriate to extinguish fire. DO NOT USE WATER! Do NOT get water
inside containers. Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or
appropriate foam.

**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Sweep up or absorb material, then
place into a suitable clean, dry, closed container for disposal.
Provide ventilation. Place under an inert atmosphere. Do not get
water inside containers.

**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****

Handling:

Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid breathing dust,
vapor, mist, or gas. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep container tightly closed.
Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Handle under an inert atmosphere.
Store protected from air. Do not allow contact with water. Store and
handle protected from air. Keep from contact with moist air and
steam.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container.
Keep under a nitrogen blanket. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated
area away from incompatible substances. Do not expose to air. Store
protected from moisture. Store under an inert atmosphere.

**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****

Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
Exposure Limits
