Environmental Precautions:

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

General Handling: Static electric buildup and discharge may occur with this product. The spark produced may be sufficient to ignite vapors of flammable liquids such as solvents.
Other Precautions:
Storage: Conduct any operation emitting fumes or vapors under well-ventilated conditions.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

ComponentSourceTypeValueRemarks
Personal Protection
Eye/Face Protection: Safety glasses or goggles.
Skin Protection: Protective gloves for handling hot material during processing.
Respiratory Protection: Not normally necessary when well-ventilated conditions are provided. Respiratory protection such as a NIOSH/MSHA approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus, is necessary to prevent inhalation of decomposition or combustion gasses.
Hygenic Measures: Wash hands befroe eating, smoking or using the washroom.
Other Protection Measures: None.
Engineering Controls: Ventilation must be adequate to draw vapors and smoke away from workers to prevent routine inhalation.
