 Safety Data Sheet
Steps to Take in Case Material Is Exposure to the spilled material may be irritating or harmful. Follow personal protective
Released or Spilled: equipment recommendations found in Section 8 of this SDS. Additional precautions may be
necessary based on special circumstances created by the spill including; the material spilled,
the quantity of the spill, the area in which the spill occurred. Also consider the expertise of
employees in the area responding to the spill. Avoid the generation of dusts during clean-up.
Prevent the spread of any spill to minimize harm to human health and the environment if safe
to do so. Wear complete and proper personal protective equipment following the
recommendation of Section 8 at a minimum. Dike with suitable absorbent material like
granulated clay. Gather and store in a sealed container pending a waste disposal evaluation.

Control Parameters
Engineering Measures: No exposure limits exist for the constituents of this product. Use local exhaust ventilation
or other engineering controls to minimize exposures and maintain operator comfort.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Lab coat, apron, eye wash, safety shower.
Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection may be required to avoid overexposure when handling this
product. General or local exhaust ventilation is the preferred means of protection. Use a
respirator if general room ventilation is not available or sufficient to eliminate symptoms.
Respirator Type(s): NIOSH approved air purifying respirator with dust/mist filter.
Eye Protection: Wear chemical splash goggles when handling this product. Have an eye wash station
available.
Skin Protection: Avoid skin contact by wearing chemically resistant gloves, an apron and other protective
equipment depending upon conditions of use. Inspect gloves for chemical break-through
and replace at regular intervals. Clean protective equipment regularly. Wash hands and
other exposed areas with mild soap and water before eating, drinking, and when leaving
work.
Gloves: No information available
