Dispose of product in accordance with local, county, state and federal regulations.
SECTION VIII SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (SPECIFY TYPE) :
Respiratory protection is not usually required. If respiratory protection is necessary to minimize exposure,
use a respirator or gas mask with appropriate cartridges and canister (NIOSH approved) or supplied air equipment.
VENTILATION :
If current ventilation practices are not adequate to minimize exposure, additional ventilation or exhaust may be required
Where explosive mixtures may be present, electrical systems safe for such locations must be used.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES : Not normally required
EYE PROTECTION : Approved eye protection to safeguard against potential eye contact, irritation
or injury is recommended
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT : It is suggested that a source of clean water be available in the work area for flushing
eyes and skin. Impervious clothing should be worn as needed.
SECTION IX SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE :
Use and store this material in cool, dry, well ventilated areas away from heat and all sources of ignition.
Keep containers closed. Store only in approved containers. Keep away from incompatible materials.
Protect containers against physical damage. Do not enter confined spaces such as tanks or pits without
following proper entry procedures such as ASTM D-4276. The use of respiratory protection is advised
when concentrations exceed the established exposure limits. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not
wear contaminated clothing or shoes. Use good personal hygiene practice. Empty containers retain residue
(liquid and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind or
expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks or other sources of ignition. They may explode and cause
injury or death. Empty drums should be completely drained, properly bunged and promptly shipped to the
supplier or a drum reconditioner. All other containers should be disposed of in an environmentally safe
manner and in accordance with governmental regulations. Before working on or in tanks which contain
or have contained this product, refer to OSHA regulations, ANSI Z49.1, and other governmental and
industrial references pertaining to cleaning, repairing, welding or other contemplated operations.
