for the surrounding fire.

8. Accidental Release Measures

Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment

specified in Section 8. Spills: Sweep up and containerize for reclamation or disposal.

Vacuuming or wet sweeping may be used to avoid dust dispersal. Small amounts

residue may be flushed to sewer with plenty of water.

9. Handling and Storage

Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect

against physical damage. Isolate from incompatible substances. Containers of this

material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust

solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.

10. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Airborne Exposure Limits:None established.

Ventilation System:In general, dilution ventilation is a satisfactory health hazard

control for this substance. However, if conditions of use create discomfort to

worker, a local exhaust system should be considered.

Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):For conditions of use where exposure

to dust or mist isapparent and engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate

respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn. If oil particles (e.g.

lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerin, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter.

For emergencies orinstances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face

positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do
