ENGINEERING CONTROLS (SPECIFY eg. VENTILATION, ENCLOSED PROCESS)
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their
respective threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the work-station location
LEAK AND SPILL PROCEDURE
Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container.
Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface
WASTE DISPOSAL
According to local, provincial, and federal regulations.
HANDLING PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT
Precautions Keep locked up.. Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Ground all equipment containing
material. Do not ingest. Do not breathe gas/fumes/ vapor/spray. Avoid contact with eyes. Wear suitable protective clothing.
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and
show the container or the label. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, acids, moisture.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
HYGROSCOPIC. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for
use. Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame). Do not store above 23掳C (73.4掳F). Container may be
hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (Dust, Solids) observe all warnings and precautions listed for
the product
