MODERATE IN NATURE.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:THIS INFORMATION IS AQUEOUS BASED AND
DOES NOT PRESENT ANY SIGNIFICANT FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT TO AVOID INHALATION
OR EYE/SKIN CONTACT. STOP THE SOURCE OF RELEASE. SMALL SPILLS MAY
BE FLUSHED INTO SANITARY SEWER WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER.
LARGE SPILLS MUST BE CO NTAINED AS WASTE MATERIALS.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:AVOID BREATHING AEROSOL, AND AVOID
CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN, AND CLOTHING. KEEP CONTAINER CLOSED AND
PROTECT FROM CONTAMINATION. STORE IN A COOL, DRY PLACE. KEEP FROM
FREEZING. LABEL ALL CONTAINERS WITH HAZARD INFORMATION WHENEVER
THE SUBSTANCE IS TRANSFERRED FROM ORIGINAL CONTAINER.
Other Precautions:THIS FORMULATION IS AQUEOUS BASED & DOESN'T PRESENT
ANY SIGNIFICANT FIRE & EXPLOSION OR REACTIVITY HAZARDS.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:IF ENGINEERING CONTROLS DO NOT MAINTAIN AIRBORNE
CONCENTRATIONS BELOW EXPOSURE CONCENTRATIONS, AN APPROVED
RESPIRATOR SHOULD BE WORN. MANAGERS ASSIGNING THE USE OF
RESPIRATORS MUST ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE ELEMENTS OF
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS.
Ventilation:USE PROCESS ENCLOSURES, LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION, OR OTHER
ENGINEERING CONTROLS TO CONTROL THE GENERATION OF AEROSOL BELOW
EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Other Protective Equipment:EYE BATH, SAFETY SHOWER, AND WASHING
FACILITIES SHOULD BE READILY AVAILABLE IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA.
Work Hygienic Practices:GOOD INDUSTRIAL PRACTICE SHOULD BE FOLLOWED,
WHICH INCLUDES PREVENTING CONTACT.
