Fumes, smoke, Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO).

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Land Spill Contain spilled liquid with sand or earth.

Recover by pumping (use and explosion proof or hand pump) or with a
suitable absorbent. If liquid is too viscous for pumping, scrape up with
shovels or pails and place in suitable containers for recycle or disposal.
Consult an expert on disposal of recovered material and ensure conformity
to local disposal regulations.
See Section 4 “FIRST AID MEASURES” as sell as Section 10
“STABILITY AND REACTIVITY”.
Warn other shipping. Notify part or relevant authority and keep public
Water Spill away. Shut off source if possible to do so without hazard. Confine if
possible.
Remove from surface by skimming or with suitable absorbents. If allowed
by local authorities and environmental agencies sinking and/or suitable
dispersants may be used in non-confined waters.
Consult an expert on disposal of any recovered material and ensure
conformity to local disposal regulations.

STORAGE/HANDLING, GENERAL NOTES

 Keep container closed. Handle containers with care. Open slowly in order to control possible
pressure release. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place away from incompatible materials.
 DO NOT handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of ignition. Protect
material from direct sunlight.
 This material is not a static accumulator but use proper bonding and/or grounding procedures.
 DO NOT pressurize, cut, heat, or weld containers. Empty product containers may contain product
residue. DO NOT reuse empty containers with commercial cleaning or reconditioning.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Engineering Control The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended to control

Measures/Ventilation process emissions near the sources. Laboratory samples should be
handled in a lab hood. Provide mechanical ventilation of confined
spaces.

Occupational Exposure Limits This product contains material which, when handled under certain
conditions (open heating and/or mechanical shear), may release the
following components (s) with a recognized or recommended OEL
value:
Mineral oil mist;
TWA: 5 mg/m3 STEL: 10 mg/m3, for oil mist, vapour excluded,
ACGIH (2002).
PERSONAL PROTECTION
General Advice The use and choice of Personal Protection equipment is related to
the hazard of the product, the workplace, and the way the product is
handled. In general, we recommend as a minimum safety
precaution that safety glasses with side-shields and work clothes

the following special advice is believed to provide satisfactory
protection for the industrial user or handler.
Respiratory Protection Where concentrations in air may exceed the limits given in this
section, it is recommended to use a half face filter mask to protect
from overexposure by inhalation. Suitable filter material depends on
the amount and type of chemicals being handled in the workplace,
but filter material of type “P” or similar may be considered for use.
Hand Protection When handling this product, it is recommended to wear chemical
resistant gloves. The choice of suitable protective gloves depends on
work conditions and what chemicals are handled, but we have
positive experience with gloves made of PVC or Nitrile. Gloves
should be replaced immediately if sign of degradation is observed.
Eye Protection When handling this product, it is recommended to wear splash
resistant goggles.
Skin/Body Protection When handling this product, it is recommended to wear a chemical
resistant apron, jacket and rubber boots.
