Protective Equipment:
Special Exposure Hazard:

Small spills: Contain and/or absorb spill with inert material (e.g. sand, vermiculite), thenplace in suitable container. Do not flush to sewer or allow to enter waterways. Useappropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). Neutralize spill area with sodium
bicarbonate.
Large spills: Keep unnecessary people away; isolate hazard area and deny entry. Do nottouch or walk through spilled material. Use appropriate personal protective equipment(PPE). Stop leak, if possible without risk. Isolate, dike and store discharged material, ifpossible. Use sand or earth to contain spilled material. If containment is impossible,
prevent runoff from entering into storm sewers and ditches which lead to naturalwaterways. In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities inaccordance with all applicable regulations.

HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling:

Storage:

8.

Hazardous material. Containers can build pressure if exposed to heat or fire.
Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish flames. Coolcontainers with water spray.
Wear standard full fire-fighter turn-out gear (full bunker gear) and respiratory protection(SCBA).
Toxic decomposition gases, including carbon monoxide, may be generated under fireconditions. Prevent runoff from entering into storm sewers and ditches which lead tonatural waterways.

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Leaks and Spills:

7.

Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Seek medical advice.
Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, and immediately wash with plenty ofwater and soap.
Remove casualty to fresh air and keep at rest. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately. Call aphysician or poison control center immediately.
If victim is fully conscious, give a cupful of water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.

PAGE:

Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Keep container closed. Use only with adequate
ventilation. Use proper bonding and/or electrical grounding procedures. Use explosionproof electrical equipment. Do not taste or swallow. Avoid breathing vapor, mist or dust.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Promptlyclean up spills.
Store in cool, dry, well ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Use self-closing
valves, pressure-vacuum bungs and flame arresters on drums.

EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Engineering Control:
Exposure Limits
Respiratory Protection:

Skin Protection:
Eye Protection:

Use exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below exposure limits. Keep
containers tightly closed. Safety shower-eyewash should be within direct access.
See Section 2.
When engineering controls are insufficient, use approved air-purifying respirator withorganic vapor cartridge.
For high airborne concentrations, use approved supplied-air respirator, operated inpositive pressure mode.
Clean body-covering clothing; impervious gloves e.g., neoprene.
Wear safety glasses with side shields or chemical goggles.
