SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT AND
PRECAUTIONS:
Use appropriate personal protective equipment. Refer to Section 8. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up.
Fully encapsulating, vapor protective clothing should be worn for spills and leaks with no fire.
Do not breathe mist or vapor. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
ENVIRONMENTAL
PRECAUTIONS:
Do not allow material to enter public drainage systems or waterways.
CONTAINMENT AND CLEAN-
UP MEASURES:
Dike spill if possible to contain. Remove all ignition sources. Soak up balance with sand or dirt. Place into properly labeled containers for disposal.
SECTION 7 HANDLING and STORAGE PROCEDURES
PRECAUTIONARY HANDLING:
STORAGE:
Do not breathe mist or vapor. Do not get this material in contact with eyes. Do not get this material in contact with skin. Do not taste or swallow. Avoid prolonged exposure. Do not get this material on clothing. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Avoid release to the environment.
Do not empty into drains.
DO NOT CONTAMINATE WATER, FOOD OR FEED BY STORAGE OR DISPOSAL.
Store locked up. Avoid freezing or excessive heat. Keep at temperature not exceeding 38
°C. Store in original tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Store in a well-ventilated place. Store away from incompatible materials (see
Section 10 of the SDS). Keep in an area equipped with sprinklers.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Excessive Heat. Contact with Incompatibles.
SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROL and PERSONAL PROTECTION
Occupation Exposure Limits:
MATERIAL CAS # REGULATORY LIST TYPE VALUE
Ethanol 64-17-5 OSHA PEL 1000ppm TWA
U.S. ACGIH STEL 1000ppm TWA
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.
If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits (where applicable), an approved respirator must be worn. In the United
States of America, if respirators are used, a program should be instituted to assure compliance with OSHA Standard 63 FR 1152, January 8, 1998.
Respirator Type: Air-purifying with organic vapor and acid mist cartridge.
EYE PROTECTION:
Use goggles and face shield.
SKIN PROTECTION:
Wear chemical-resistant gloves, footwear and protective clothing appropriate for the risk of exposure.
