to prevent contact with skin and eyes.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES:
Use personal protective equipment. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing.
Absorb on sand or vermiculite and place in closed containers for disposal. Ventilate area and wash spill

STORAGE:
Store in a cool, dry place. Do not store in direct sunlight. Store in a tightly closed container.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Mechanical exhaust required. Safety shower and eye bath.
VENTILATION :
Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as
NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU). Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a
full-face respirator with multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as
a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied
air respirator.
