, Water, Foam, and Dry chemical spray
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved
self-contained breathing apparatus with full faceplate operated in the pressure demand mode.
6. Accidental Release Measures:
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in
Section 3. Spills: Clean up spills in a manner that does not disperse the dust or mist in the air.
Clean up with spill with a suitable absorbent, and sweep up and containerize for reclamation or disposal. Note: US Regulations (CERCLA) may require reporting spills and releases to soil, water, and air in excess of reportable quantities. See Section 15 for regulatory information.

7. Handling and Storage:
Keep in a tightly closed container, store in a cool, dry, and ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Observe all warnings and precautions concerning this material.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection:
Airborne Exposure Limits:
None established
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of
Recommended Practices, most recent edition for details.
Personal Respirators: For conditions of use where the exposure to the dust or mist is apparent, a half-face respirator may be worn. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not know, use a full-face positive pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in an oxygen-deficient atmosphere.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountains in the work area.
