ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Small Spill: Absorb liquid on vermiculite, floor absorbent or other absorbent

material.

Large Spill: Prevent run-off sewers, streams or other bodies of water if run-off

occurs, notify proper authorities as required, that a spill has occured. Persno not

wearing protective equipment sholud be excluded from area of spill until clean-up

is completed.

Stop spill at sorce. Dike to prevent spreading. Pump to salvage tank.

HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling: Containers of this material may be hazardous whwn emptied. Since

emptied containers retain produtc residues (vapor, liquid, and or solid), all hazard

precautions given in the data sheet must be observed.

Storage: Keep containers closed when not in use.





EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Eye protection: Nor required under normal conditions of use. However if misting or

splashing conditions exist, then safety glasses or chemical splash goggles are

advised.

Skin Protection: Not normally required: however wear resistant gloves suchs as

nitrile rubber to prevent irritation which may result from prolonged or repeated skin

contact with product. Wear normal work c lothing covering arms and legs.

Respiratory Protections: Not required under normal conditions of use. However if

oil mists are generated above recomended PEL/TLV of 5 mg/m3, yhen a

NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator is advised in absence of proper environmental

control.

Engineering Control: Not required under normal conditions of use. However if

unusual operating conditions exist, then provide sufficient mechanical ventilation to

maitain exposure below PEL/TLV (s)
