Precautions for Safe Handling and Use

Steps If Matl Released/Spill: WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. ELIMINATE
SOURCES OF IGNITION. VENTILATE AREA. PICK UP SPILL WITH NON-
FLAMMABLE ABSORBENT SUCH AS SAND, EARTH, VERMICULITE. PLACE IN
SUITABLE CONTAINER FOR REUSE/DISPOSAL. PREVENT LIQUID FROM
ENTERING SEWERS OR WATERWAYS.
Neutralizing Agent: Not Relevent
Waste Disposal Method: DISPOSE OF IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL, STATE
AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS. RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE IS BY
INCINERATION OR RECYCLING. WAST NUMBERS D001 (IGNITABILITY) AND
D002 (CORROSIVITY)

Precautions- Handling/storing:

STORE UNDER NITROGEN, BELOW 32F/0C, IN
DRY, VENTILATED AREA, AWAY FROM IGNITION SOURCES &
INCOMPATIBILES. ALLOW TO REACH ROOM TEMPERATURE PRIOR TO USE.

Other Precautions: CORROSIVE! EMPTY CONTAINERS RETAIN RESIDUE AND
CAN BE DANGEROUS. DO NOT WELD.SOLDER/DRILL SUCH CONTAINERS.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DO NOT INGEST. DO NOT GET IN EYES
OR ON SKIN. DO NOT BREATH VAPORS. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER
HANDLING.

Control Measures

Respiratory Protection: IF TLV IS EXCEEDED OR FOR SYMPTOMS OF OVER
EXPOSURE, WEAR NIOSH-APPROVED ORGANIC VAPOR RESPIRATOR OR
SUPPLIED AIR RESPIRATOR. IN EMERGENCY, WEAR A NIOSH-APPROVED
POSITIVE-PRESSURE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
Ventilation: MECHANICAL (GENERAL AND/OR LOCAL EXHAUST, EXPLOSION-
PROOF) VENTILATION TO MAINTAIN EXPOSURE BELOW TLV(S).
Protective Gloves: RUBBER, NEOPRENE
Eye Protection: SAFETY GLASSES/CHEMICAL SPLASH GOOGLES
Other Protective Equipment: SAFETY SHOWER AND EYE WASH FOUNTAIN
SHOULD BE LOCATED NEARBY. WEAR APPROPRIATE PRTECTIVE
CLOTHING FOR RISK OF EXPOSURE.
