MSDS Code: 778593 Page 4/8 <br />Status: Final Date of Issue: 02-Aug-2004 <br />Prevent spilled material from entering sewers, storm drains, other unauthorized drainage systems, and natural waterways. Dike far <br />ahead of spill for later recovery or disposal. Spilled material may be absorbed into an appropriate absorbent material. Water spray may <br />be useful in minimizing or dispersing vapors (see Section 5). <br />Notify fire authorities and appropriate federal, state, and local agencies. Immediate cleanup of any spill is recommended. If spill of any <br />amount is made into or upon navigable waters, the contiguous zone, or adjoining shorelines, notify the National Response Center <br />(phone number 800-424-8802). <br />7. HANDLING AND STORAGE <br />Handling: Contents under pressure. Do not enter confined spaces such as tanks or pits without following proper entry procedures such <br />as ASTM D-4276 and 29CFR 1910.146. The use of appropriate respiratory protection is advised when concentrations exceed any <br />established exposure limits (see Sections 2 and 8). <br />Do not wear contaminated clothing or shoes. Keep contaminated clothing away from sources of ignition such as sparks or open flames. <br />Use good personal hygiene practices. <br />High pressure injection of hydrocarbon fuels, hydraulic oils or greases under the skin may have serious consequences even though no <br />symptoms or injury may be apparent. This can happen accidentally when using high pressure equipment such as high pressure grease <br />guns, fuel injection apparatus or from pinhole leaks in tubing of high pressure hydraulic oil equipment. <br />"Empty" containers retain residue and may be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such <br />containers to heat, flame, sparks, or other sources of ignition. They may explode and cause injury or death. "Empty" drums should be <br />completely drained, properly bunged, and promptly shipped to the supplier or a drum reconditioner. All containers should be disposed <br />of in an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with governmental regulations. <br />Before working on or in tanks which contain or have contained this material, refer to OSHA regulations, ANSI Z49.1, and other <br />references pertaining to cleaning, repairing, welding, or other contemplated operations. <br />. Storage: Keep container(s) tightly closed. Use and store this material in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas away from heat and all <br />sources of ignition. Store only in approved containers. Keep away from any incompatible material (see Section 10). Protect <br />container(s) against physical damage. <br />8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION <br />Engineering controls: If current ventilation practices are not adequate to maintain airborne concentrations below the established <br />exposure limits (see Section 2), additional engineering controls may be required. <br />Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): <br />Respiratory: A NIOSH certified air purifying respirator with a Type 95 (R or P) particulate filter may be used under conditions <br />where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits (see Section 2). <br />Protection provided by air purifying respirators is limited (see manufacturer's respirator selection guide). Use a NIOSH approved <br />self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or equivalent operated in a pressure demand or other positive pressure mode if there <br />is potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or any other circumstances where air purifying respirators <br />may not provide adequate protection. A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 <br />requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use. <br />Skin: The use of gloves impervious to the specific material handled is advised to prevent skin contact and possible irritation (see <br />manufacturers literature for information on permeability). <br />Eye/Face: Approved eye protection to safeguard against potential eye contact, irritation, or injury is recommended. Depending <br />on conditions of use, a face shield may be necessary. <br />Other Protective Equipment: A source of clean water should be available in the work area for flushing eyes and skin. <br />Impervious clothing should be worn as needed. <br />Suggestions for the use of specific protective materials are based on readily available published data. Users should check with <br />specific manufacturers to confirm the performance of their products.
