Section 7 - Precautions For Safe Handling And Use:
Steps To Be Taken In Case Material Is Released Or Spilled:
CAUTION: Do not use combustible or flammable absorbants for spill removal. Large Spills: Provide maximum
ventilation and eliminate all souces of ignition. Only personnel equipped with NIOSH/MSHA approved SCBA should
be permitted in the area. Dike area and pump spilled material into metal containers for disposal or reclaiming. Use
noncombustible absorbents such as clay, sand or vermiculite. Place in metal containers for disposal. Use water on
spill residue and wet vacuum or flush to waste water drain. Notify health and pollution control authorities
promptly. Small Spills (1 gallon): Provide ventilation. Wear and use appropriate protective equipment.
Recover with non combustible absorbent as above. Discard as sanitary waste. Water rinse residue to drain or mop
up diluted product.
Waste Disposal Method:
ED
This product and its mixing with absorbents may become ignitable waste. Discard product and/or containers in
accordance with Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as well as any
other relevent Federal, State or local laws/regulations regarding disposal.
Precautions To Be Taken In Handling And Storing:
Storage: Store in original container away from open flames, other sources of ignition and high heat. Keep container
closed when not in use. Avoid contact with food. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Handling: Do NOT get in
U
eyes. Do NOT wear contact lenses. Wash after handling. Avoid breathing of concentrated mist or vapor. Do not
take internally. Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents.
