PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
Absorb spills with dry sand or earth, then place in chemical waste container for disposal. Neutralize washings with base such as soda ash or lime.
Flush residual spill area with large amounts of water. Exercise caution during neutralization as considerable heat may be generated.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD
Consult local, state or federal authorities for proper disposal guidelines.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING
When diluting, always add acid slowly to water and stir well to avoid spattering. NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID! Containers should be stored in a cool,
dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Exercise caution to prevent damage to or leakage from the container.
CONTROL MEASURES
FOR USE WHERE SIGNIFICANT EYE, SKIN OR INHALATION EXPOSURE IS LIKELY
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (Specify Type)
If TLV is exceeded, use NIOSH / MSHA approved respirator for acid mists.
VENTILATION: MECHANICAL (General) LOCAL EXHAUST
Provide adequate ventilation Generally adequate
PROTECTIVE GLOVES EYE PROTECTION
