decomposition products, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with
a full-face piece.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill/Leak Procedures: Wipe up with absorbent towels or mop
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Precautions: Avoid ingestion, skin contact, eye contact, and
inhalation.

combustible nor explosive.
Storage Requirements: Keep in tightly closed containers stored in a cool, dry,
ventilated area.
Storage incompatibility: General: Segregate from incompatible substances.
Temperature tolerance: Protect from temperatures over 24°C. Product
properties may change if stored above indicated temperature for extended
periods of time.
SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: Provide general or local exhaust ventilation systems to
maintain airborne concentrations as low as possible.
Respiratory Protection: If this product is used as directed, respiratory protection
is not required. Seek professional advice prior to respirator selection and use.
Protective Clothing: Wear, when the possibility of skin or clothing contamination
may exist. Wear neoprene or nitrile gloves when directly handling the product.
