Section 6. Control and Protective Measures
Respiratory Protections (Specific Type):
Use type for Particulates Not Otherwise Classified, if needed.
Protective Gloves:
Impervious, nitrile, if hot plastic is handled.
Eye Protection:
Safety glasses or chemical splash goggles.
Ventilation to be Used:
Use good, local exhaust at processing equipment, including buggers, sanders, grinders and
polishers.
Other Protective Clothing and Equipment:
Provide eyewash, safety shower and impervious clothing are recommended. High temperature
processing equipment should be well ventilated.
Industrial Hygienic Practices:
Wash face and hands thoroughly with soap and water after use and before eating, drinking,
smoking or applying cosmetics.
Section 7. Precautions for Safe Handling and Use / Leak Procedures
Accidental Release Measures:
Sweep up to avoid slipping hazard. Keep airborne articulates at a minimum when cleaning up
spills.
Waste Disposal Methods:
Dispose in a landfill or incinerate according to Federal, State, and Local regulations
Disposal of Empty Containers:
Reuse of empty drums or containers is not recommended. Employees should be advised of the
potential hazards, due to residual flammable material, associated with empty contains. It is our
policy to discourage the reuse of empty containers and to dispose of all empty containers
properly, in accordance with Federal, State and Local regulations.
Precautions to be taken in Handling and Storaging:
Use in well ventilated areas. Wear gloves when handling powder. Store in cool dry place.
