Product may burn but is not readily ignitable. Use best engineering practices when attempting cleanup of a large spill.
Large spills - Wear respirator and protective clothing as appropriate. Stop source of leak if possible. Prevent entry into water
sources. Dike and contain spill. Remove with vacuum trucks or pump to storage/salvage vessels. Soak up residue with an inert
absorbent such as clay, sand or other suitable materials; Store and dispose of properly. Where feasible and appropriate, remove
contaminated soil.
Small spills - Soak up spill with an inert absorbent such as clay, sand or other suitable materials; Store in a closed container and
dispose of properly.
Regulatory spill reporting requirements may apply; Contact governmental agency or legal counsel for advice.
Waste Disposal Method: If discarded as supplied, material does not meet RCRA characteristic definition of ignitability, corrosivity
or reactivity and is not listed in 40 CFR 261.33. The toxicity characteristic has not been evaluated. Under RCRA, the applicable hazardous
waste classification must be evaluated prior to disposal of the material. Use of the product, processing or contamination may render the
resulting material hazardous.
All recovered material should be packaged, labeled, transported and disposed of or reclaimed in accordance with governmental
regulations regarding air pollution, water pollution or health.
Don鈥檛 pollute - Conserve Resources. Dispose of used oil properly.
CAUTION: Improper disposal or reuse of the empty container may be hazardous and illegal. Cutting or welding of empty containers
may cause fire, explosion or toxic fumes from residues. Do not pressurize or expose to open flame or heat. Keep container closed
and drum bungs in place. Refer to applicable governmental regulations.
