(preferred) or water and seek medical attention at
once.

Combustion products: see Section 10.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

After spillage/leakage:
See Section 8 for protective equipment information.
See Section 13 for disposal information.
Do not allow to enter waterways. Contain with dikes.
Use explosion proof equipment to recover. Remove all
sources of ignition. Soak up residual on inert
absorbant (sand). Put in steel or plastic drum
approved for flammables.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Special Precautions: Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Store out of
direct sunlight in well ventilated area. Keep container
closed when not in use. Use with adequate ventilation.
Do not cut or weld on container.
Packaging requirements: High density polyethylene (HDPE) drum or can.
Ventilation: Provide ventilation to keep airborne concentrations
below exposure limits.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Respiratory protection: Use NIOSH approved respirator with organic vapor
protection (color coded black or yellow). Use SCBA
(self contained breathing apparatus) in confined
areas.
Eye protection: Chemical splash goggles and face shield.
Hand protection: Impervious gloves made of: Butyl
Skin protection: Chemical resistant suit. Chemical resistant boots.
