Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
ISOLATE AREA OF THE SPILL! Eliminate all ignition sources. Soak up small spills with inert solids such as vermiculite or
other absorbent materials. Shovel into suitable disposal container. Persons not wearing protective equipment should be excluded
from the area of spill until cleanup has been completed.
Section 7. Handling & Storage
Store material in a clean, cool, ventilated area away from all sources of ignition. Clean up spills at once. Keep container
tightly closed when not in use. Always wear protective equipment. Wash hands and other exposed areas thoroughly after
handling. Handle mixed resin and hardener in accordance with the potential hazard of the curing agent used. Provide
appropriate ventilation/respiratory protection against nuisance dust during sanding/grinding of cured product.
Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Exposure
Avoid splashing. Wear chemical-resistant safety goggles or face shield. Contact
Eye Protection
lenses must not be worn.
Chemical resistant synthetic rubber (neoprene, nitrile) gloves and other
protective clothing are recommended to prevent repeated or prolonged skin
