Section VII -- Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: The major ingredient is a safe and
nonhazardous plant extract. The other ingredients are surfactants and preservatives. There is
little danger to the environment if spilled. Collect spilled material, and be cautious of slippery
conditions. Wash surfaces clean with water.
Waste Disposal Method: Check with local authorities to determine if material can be handled
through the municipal waste water system (POTW). Follow all state, federal, and local
regulations for solid waste.
Precautions to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: The major ingredient is a
safe and nonhazardous plant extract. The other ingredients are surfactants and preservatives.
There is little danger to the environment if spilled. Collect spilled material, and be cautious of
slippery conditions. Wash surfaces clean with water.
Other Precautions: Do not dilute or add materials to the product, as fermentation or other
biological activity may occur, releasing byproducts, and causing pressurization of the container.
Section VII -- Control Measures
Respiratory Protection: Not required
Ventilation: Not required
Protective Gloves: Recommended: Rubber, latex, vinyl, or any gloves without pores.
Eye Protection: Safety Glasses recommended.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Apron recommended to protect clothing from
