Environmental precautions: CAUTION: Keep spills and cleaning runoff out of municipal sewers and
open bodies of water.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Contain spills immediately with inert
materials (e.g., sand, earth). Transfer liquids and solid diking material to separate suitable containers
for recovery or disposal.
Conditions for safe storage: Keep from freezing - product stability may be affected. STIR WELL
BEFORE USE.
Exposure controls
Engineering controls: Use local exhaust ventilation with a minimum capture velocity of 100 ft/min.
(0.5 m/sec.) at the point of vapor evolution. Refer to the current edition of Industrial Ventilation: A
Manual of Recommended Practice published by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial
Hygienists for information on the design, installation, use, and maintenance of exhaust systems.
Protective measures: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash
facility.
