SECTION 06: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
LEAK/SPILL.......................WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. EVACUATE ALL NON-ESSENTIAL
PERSONNEL. FLOOR MAY BECOME SLIPPERY. USE CARE TO AVOID
FALLING. CONTAIN SPILLS IMMEDIATELY WITH INERT MATERIALS
(E.G., SAND, EARTH). TRANSFER LIQUIDS AND SOLID DIKING
MATERIAL TO SEPARATE SUITABLE CONTAINERS FOR RECOVERY OR
DISPOSAL. PREVENT RUNOFF INTO DRAINS, SEWERS, AND OTHER
WATERWAYS.
SECTION 07: HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING PROCEDURES AND..........KEEP FROM FREEZING. THIS MATERIAL CAN RELEASE MONOMER
EQUIPMENT VAPOURS OR GASES WHEN HEATED TO HIGH TEMPERATURES DURING
PROCESSING, CUTTING OR MACHINING. THIS MATERIAL CONTAINS
TRACE LEVELS OF FORMALDEHYDE IN THE AQUEOUS PHASE. THE
PRODUCT WILL GENERATE ADDITIONAL FORMALDEHYDE UPON CURE.
LACK OF ADEQUATE VENTILATION MAY RESULT IN AIRBORNE LEVELS
OF FORMALDEHYDE ABOVE ESTABLISHED EXPOSURE LIMITS IN THE
WORKPLACE. MONITORING THE WORKPLACE TO DETERMINE ACTUAL
FORMALDEHYDE LEVELS IS RECOMMENDED. NOTE: FORMALDEHYDE WILL
BE GENERATED UNDER ACIDIC CONDITIONS. MAINTAIN ADEQUATE
VENTILATION UNDER THESE CONDITIONS TO PREVENT EXPOSURE TO
FORMALDEHYDE ABOVE THE ROHM AND HAAS CO. RECOMMENDED
CEILING OF 0.3 PPM. USE ADEQUATE VENTILATION. HANDLE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE AND SAFETY
PRACTICES.
STORAGE NEEDS....................KEEP FROM FREEZING. MATERIAL MAY COAGULATE. 1-49(C)

GLOVES/ TYPE...............IMPERVIOUS GLOVES (NEOPRENE).
RESPIRATORY/TYPE...........A RESPIRATORY PROTECTION PROGRAM MEETING OSHA 1910.134 AND
ANIS Z88.2 REQUIREMENTS MUST BE FOLLOWED WHENEVER WORKPLACE
CONDITIONS WARRANT A RESPIRATOR'S USE. NONE REQUIRED IF
AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS ARE MAINTAINED BELOW THE EXPOSURE
LIMIT. NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS. FOR
AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS UP TO 10 TIMES THE TLV, WEAR A
MSHA/NIOSH APPROVED (OR EQUIVALENT) HALF-MASK,
AIR-PURIFYING RESPIRATOR. AIR-PURIFYING RESPIRATORS SHOULD
BE EQUIPPED WITH FORMALDEHYDE CARTRIDGES.
