6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
鈥? Personal Precautions: Wear protective clothing. Wear an appropriate NIOSH/MSHA approved
respirator for contaminated atmosphere.
鈥? Environmental Precautions: Dike flow of spilled material using soil or sandbags to minimize contamination
of drains, surface and ground waters.
鈥? Procedures for Spill/Leak Clean-up: Ventilate area and eliminate all ignition sources. Contain spill. Cover with
absorbent and thoroughly soak the clean-up rags after absorbing the spill with
water. Dispose of the absorbent rags and other absorbent material in
accordance with all Federal/State/Local regulations.
Refer to Section 8 for additional personal protection information.
Refer to Section 13 for disposal considerations.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
鈥? Handling: Handle in accordance with good hygiene and safety procedures. Avoid contact
with skin and eyes. Wash thoroughly after handling. Since empty containers
contain product residue, follow all hazard warnings and precautions even after
container is emptied. Oily surface may be slippery.
鈥? Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks or open flames. Keep away from possible contact
with incompatible substances. Store in a cool dry place. Store in sealed containers.
To assure quality:
Keep away from light and air
Fresh for 3 months at 0 掳C 鈥? 4 掳C
Fresh for 6 months at < -5 掳C
Nitrogen purge after each opening
Refer to Section 6 for clean-up of spillages.
Refer to Section 13 for disposal considerations.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
鈥? Good industrial hygiene practices should be followed.
General Precautions:
鈥? None established
Exposure Limit Values:
鈥? Exposure Controls
Engineering Controls: Ventilation: Local exhaust - preferred
Mechanical (general) - may be necessary if working at
elevated temperatures or in enclosed areas.
Personal Protective Equipment: Eye: Safety goggles.
Skin: Protective gloves: Neoprene
Dependent upon degree of potential exposure, additional
personal protective equipment may be required, such as
chemical boots and full protective clothing.
Inhalation: An appropriate NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator should
be used for contaminated atmosphere. A NIOSH/MSHA
approved self-contained breathing apparatus or air-supplied
respirator is recommended if the concentration exceeds the
capacity of the respirator. WARNING: Air purifying
respirators do not protect workers in oxygen- deficient
atmospheres.
Other Controls: Eye bath, safety shower, apron, protective clothing.
