    PRESSURE MODE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NOT CONSIDERED TO BE A FIRE HAZARD.  NOT
    CONSIDERED TO BE AN EXPLOSION HAZARD.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE AREA OF LEAK OR SPILL. CLEANUP
    PERSONNEL MAY REQUIRE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION FROM DUST. SPILLS:
    SWEEP UP AND CONTAINERIZE FOR RECLAMATION OR DISPOSAL. VACUUMING OR
    WET SWEEPING MAY BE USE TO	AVOID DUST DISPERSAL.

    CONTAINER, STORED IN A COOL, DRY VENTILATED AREA. PROTECT FROM
    PHYSICAL DAMAGE. HANDLING: PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES: KEEP CONTAINER
    CLOSED. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION . WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER
    HANDLING.
Other Precautions:AVOID BREATHING DUST.  AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN
    AND CLOTHING.  KEEP CONTAINER CLOSED.  USE WITH ADEQUATE
    VENTILATION.  WAS THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:IF TLV IS EXCEEDED, A (NIOSH APPROVED) DUST /
    MIST RESPIRATOR WITH CHEMICAL GOGGLES MAY BE WORN, IN GENERAL, UP
    TO TEN TIMES THE TLV. CONSULT RESPIRATOR SUPPLIER FOR LIMITATIONS.
    ALTERNATIVELY, A (NIO SH APPROVED) SUPPLIED AIR FULL FACEPIECE
    RESPIRATOR OR AIRLINED HOOD MAY BE WORN.
Ventilation:A SYSTEM OF LOCALAND/OR GENERAL EXHAUST RECOMMENDED TO KEEP
    EMPLOYEE EXPOSURES BELOW THE AIRBORNE EXPOSURE LIMITS. LOCAL
    EXHAUST (SUPP SAFETY & HEALTH)
Protective Gloves:WEAR IMPERVIOUS GLOVES.
Eye Protection:USE CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES (ANSI APPROVED - FPN).
    CONTACT (WORK PRACTICES)
Other Protective Equipment:WEAR IMPERVIOUS PROTECTIVE CLOTHING,
    INCLUDING BOOTS, GLOVES, LAB COAT, APRON OR COVERALLS TO PREVENT
    SKIN CONTACT.  MAINTAIN EYE WASH FOUNTAIN AND QUICH-DRENCH
