 7. Handling and Storage

 Handle as an irritant. Do not get into eyes. Avoid prolonged/repeated skin contact. Do not inhale vapors/mists. Do not ingest. Spilled product creates very slippery conditions, especially in contact with water. Avoid freezing which may cause separation and increases in viscosity. Do not store above 85 deg. F for long periods of time. Flush residuals to drain fo normal biological treatment. Non-hazardous liquid waste may be incinerated, according to local, state and federal regulations.

 8. Exposure Controls/ Personal Protection

  • Ventilation System: Good general ventilation is advisable. Local exhaust desired.
  • Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): None required for normal use and processes. if needed, use respirator to filter out mists/vapors.
  • Skin Protection: Long sleeved clothing, impervious rubber or neoprene gloves and protective apron.
  • Eye Protection: Safety glasses or goggles
  • Other Control Measures: Minimize exposure in accordance with good hygiene practice. Avoid handling which would create large amounts of mists/vapors.
