Special Information:
Firefighters should wear proper protective equipment and self-contained breathing
apparatus with full facepiece operated in positive pressure mode.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. With clean shovel,
carefully place material into clean, dry container and cover; remove from area. Flush spill
area with water.
7. Handling and Storage
Keep container tightly closed. Suitable for any general chemical storage area. Containers
of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust,
solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits:
None established.
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as
low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the
emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general
work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of
Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
For conditions of use where exposure to the dust or mist is apparent, a half-face dust/mist
respirator may be worn. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not
known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-
purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or
coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions
is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Other Control Measures:
