SECTION VIII: PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
Personal protective equipment: Wear chemical safety goggles. Wear appropriate clothing to prevent repeated or prolonged skin
contact. Wear chemical resistant gloves such as nitrile or neoprene. If exposed to airborne mist/aerosol of this product, use at
least a NIOSH-approved N95 half-mask disposable or re-usable particulate respirator. In work environments containing oil
mist/aerosol, use at least a NIOSH-approved P95 half-mask disposable or reusable particulate respirator. If exposed to vapors
from this product use a NIOSH/MSHA-approved respirator with an Organic Vapor cartridge.
Specific engineering controls: Local exhaust ventilation as necessary to maintain exposures to within applicable limits.
Procedures for leak/spills: Evacuate surrounding area, if necessary. Keep personnel removed and upwind of spill. Extinguish all
ignition sources. Avoid sparks, flames, heat and smoking. Shut off leak if it can be done safely. Contain spilled material. Absorb
in vermiculite, dry sand or earth. Place into containers for disposal. Use non-sparking or explosion proof means to transfer
material to containers. Note that flammable/combustible vapors may form an ignitable mixture with air. Vapors may travel
considerable distances from spill and flash back, if ignited. Do not allow to enter sewer or surface and subsurface waters. Waste
must be disposed of in accordance with federal, state/provincial and local laws.
Waste disposal: Recover and reclaim or recycle, if practical. Should this product become a waste, dispose of in a permitted
industrial landfill. Ensure that the containers are empty by the RCRA criteria prior to disposal in a permitted industrial landfill.
Handling procedures and equipment: Put on appropriate personal protective equipment. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Avoid breathing vapors or spray mists. Use only in a well ventilated area. Ground and bond containers when transferring material.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
Storage requirements: Store in dry, well-ventilated area. Keep container closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flames. Store
away from incompatibles. Follow safe warehousing practices regarding palletizing, banding, shrink-wrapping and/or stacking.
Special shipping information: Not applicable
