Specific hazards during fire fighting:Material as sold is combustible; burns vigorously with intense heat.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.
Further information:Water mist may be used to cool closed containers.
Remain upwind.
Avoid breathing smoke.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions
Appropriate protective equipment must be worn when handling a spill of this material. See SECTION 8, Exposure
Controls/Personal Protection, for recommendations.
If exposed to material during clean-up operations, see SECTION 4, First Aid Measures, for actions to follow.
Environmental precautions
CAUTION: Keep spills and cleaning runoff out of municipal sewers and open bodies of water.
Methods for cleaning up
Floor may be slippery; use care to avoid falling.
Eliminate all ignition sources.
Ventilate the area.
Transfer spilled material to suitable containers for recovery or disposal.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated place. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Keep container tightly closed. Do not breathe vapours/dust. Static charges can accumulate: use bonding and grounding
between transfer equipment and receiving containers and for anyother operations capable of generating static electricity.

Eye protection:Use safety glasses with side shields (ANSI Z87.1or approved equivalent). Eye protection worn must be
compatible with respiratory protection system employed.
Hand protection:Cotton or canvas gloves.
Respiratory protection:A respiratory protection program meeting OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or
equivalent must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use. None required under normal
operating conditions. When dusty conditions are encountered, wear a properly fitted NIOSH approved (or equivalent)
half-mask, air-purifying respirator. Air-purifying respirators should be equipped with NIOSH approved (or equivalent)
organic vapor cartridges and N95 filters. If oil mist is present, use R95 or P95 filters.
Protective measures:Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility.
Engineering measures:Use local exhaust ventilation with a minimum capture velocity of 150 ft/min. (0.75 m/sec.)
at the point of dust or mist evolution. Refer to the current edition of "Industrial Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended
Practice" published by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists for information on the design,
installation, use, and maintenance of exhaust systems.
