Special fire fighting procedures: Protective Equipment - Standard personal protective equipment for
structural firefighting.
Unusual fire and explosion hazards:
Special Hazard: Under some conditions (e.g.-, when heated to high temperatures in the presence of
air), the product may form formaldehyde vapor. Formaldehyde is: a potential cancer hazard: a known
skin and respiratory sensitizer and, an irritant to the eyes. nose, throat skin, and digestive system.
Safe handling conditions may be maintained by keeping vapor concentrations below occupational
exposure limits for formaldehyde
----------------------------------- VI. SPILL, LEAK, AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURES ----------------------Spill response procedures (include employee protection measures):
Personal Precautions
Wear goggles if release creates conditions where eye contact is probable- Ventilate area if
necessary. If user operations generate dust, then an approved respirator for dust/mists is
recommended.
Spill Cleanup Measures:
Spills may be collected, preferably by vacuum, and placed in suitable container for disposal .

Preparing wastes for disposal (container types, neutralization, etc.):
NOTE: Dispose of all wastes in accordance with federal, state and local regulations.
------------------------------------------VII. Handling and Storage---------------------------------------------------------Handling & Storage Precautions
Handling: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid creating dust. Do not breathe dust
Storage: Product should be stored in a cool dry and away from volatile chemicals. Keep at
temperatures not exceeding 3001F (150'C).
-------------------------------------- VIII. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection -----------------------------Ventilation and engineering controls: Normal
Respiratory protection (type): An approved air-purifying respirator (APR) for particulates may be
appropriate to control exposure to dust Protection provided by air-purifying respirators is limited. Use
a positive-pressure, air supplied respirator if there is any potential for uncontrolled release, exposure
levels are not known, or any circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate
protection. Use of respirators must include a complete respiratory protection program in accordance
with national standards and current best practices.
Eye protection (type): Eye-Face Protection. Safely glasses are recommended. Goggles may be
necessary at high dust concentrations.
Gloves (specify material): Skin Protection
Drying may occur. Barrier cream application prior to skin exposure may assist in the removal of silica
from the skin. Other clothing and equipment:
Protective Clothing
Wear appropriate clothing to minimize skin contact
Work practices, hygienic practices: Normal
Other handling and storage requirements: N/A
