AERO® 317 Xanthate MSDS: 0000632 Date: 10/22/2004 Page 3 of 7 <br />is Methods For Cleaning Up: <br />Sweep up into containers for disposal. Flush spill area with water. <br />7. HANDLING AND STORAGE <br />HANDLING <br />Precautionary Measures: Avoid excessive heat or moisture. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid <br />breathing dust. Keep container closed. Wash thoroughly after handling. Use non-sparking tools and do not smoke <br />when opening drum. Use with adequate ventilation. Contains finely divided material. Dust suspended in air may ignite <br />with static discharge, sparks or flame. Equipment, including venting systems, should be grounded. Provide adequate <br />ventilation in areas of use to remove dust. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. <br />Special Handling Statements: Minimize dust. Special precautions against fire and explosion must be observed in <br />(1) pumping xanthate solutions, (2) draining mobile tanks, (3) cleaning mobile tanks, and (4) performing maintenance <br />work on storage tanks and pipelines leading to and from tanks. Use nonsparking tools and do not smoke when <br />opening drums of xanthate. DUST EXPLOSION HAZARD CLASS - 2 Handling of material should be in accordance <br />with standards for venting of deflagrations (e.g. NFPA-68). If handled with flammable or combustible materials the <br />explosion hazard may increase. <br />STORAGE <br />Heating or overexposure to moisture of solid xanthates or heating or aging of xanthate solutions causes some <br />decomposition to poisonous and flammable carbon disulfide. Storage tanks should have certain design features for <br />maximum safety, and the vapor space should be free of sources of ignition. <br />Storage Temperature: Store at <32.2 - 10 °C 90 - 50 °F <br />Reason: Safety <br />8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION <br />Engineering Measures: <br />Where this material is not used in a closed system, good enclosure and local exhaust ventilation should be provided <br />to control exposure. <br />Respiratory Protection: <br />Where exposures are below the established exposure limit, no respiratory protection is required. Where exposures <br />exceed the established exposure limit, use respiratory protection recommended for the material and level of <br />exposure. <br />Eye Protection: <br />Wear eye/face protection such as chemical splash proof goggles or face shield. Eyewash equipment and safety <br />shower should be provided in areas of potential exposure. <br />Skin Protection: <br />Avoid skin contact. Wear impermeable gloves and suitable protective clothing. <br />Additional Advice: <br />Food, beverages, and tobacco products should not be carried, stored, or consumed where this material is in use. <br />Before eating, drinking, or smoking, wash face and hands thoroughly with soap and water. <br />9.
