D. PRECAUTIONS/PROCEDURES
FIRE EXTINGUISHING AGENTS RECOMMENDED:
This product is nonflammable. Use any agent suitable for the surrounding fire.
FIRE EXTINGUISHING AGENTS TO AVOID:
None known.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PRECAUTIONS:
None.
VENTILATION:
Local exhaust: In packaging and uploading areas, over open processing equipment, and any other places where misty condition prevails.
Natural ventilation: Adequate for other areas.
NORMAL HANDLING:
Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Avoid breathing mist. Use good personal hygiene and housekeeping.
STORAGE:
Keep container closed. Protect from physical damage. Do not store in metals which this solution corrodes.
SPILL OR LEAK (ALWAYS WEAR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE QUIPMENT 鈥? SECTION E)
Dilute small spills cautiously with plenty of water. Mop into metal drum and cover. (Many metals are slowly corroded by these solutions.) Cautiously
spray residue with plenty of water.
Large spills: dike up with any available absorbent (commercial, sand, etc.). Pump into same containers and treat as above.
SPECIAL: PRECAUTIONS/PROCEDURES/LABEL INSTRUCTIONS: SIGNAL WORD
Keep away from zinc as in galvanized iron 鈥? see Section G. CAUTION!
E. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
For misty condition, wear NIOSH-approved mist respirator.
Respirator should not contain any metals corrodible by these solutions.
EYES AND FACE:
For misty condition, or when handling solution where there is reasonable probability of eye contact, wear chemical safety goggles and hat. Under these
conditions, do not wear contact lenses.
HANDS, ARMS, AND BODY:
As a minimum, wear long-sleeve shirt and trousers, impervious boots, gloves and apron, for routine product use.
