Wear appropriate protective equipment as specified in Section 8.
6.2 Environmental Precautions
Prevent discharge into the environment. Dike spills and stop leakage where practical. Do not allow material to enter drains.
6.3 Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up
Use a vacuum cleaner equipped with charcoal exhaust scrubber or hose from mechanical exhaust ventilation system to vacuum spills. If this is not possible, sweep up spills and place in a covered waste disposal container. Flush area with water.
6.4 References to Other Sections
For disposal information see Section 13. For protective clothing and equipment see Section 8.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 Precautions for Safe Handling
Avoid contact and inhalation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.
7.2 Conditions for Safe Storage (including any incompatibles)
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cooled, dry, ventilated area. Protect from physical damage. Isolate from incompatible materials (section 10).
Incompatibles
Strong oxidizing agents, reducing agents, bases, calcium, metallic salts.
7.3 Specific End Uses

Engineering Controls
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source.
Respiratory Protection
Not expected to require personal respirator usage.
Eye Protection
Safety glasses.
Skin Protection
Wear protective gloves and clean body covering clothing.
