No data available.
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1 Personal Precautions
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
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Sweep up and containerize for reclamation or disposal. Vacuuming or wet sweeping may be used to avoid dust dispersal.
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.
Incompatibles
No information found.
7.3 Specific End Uses
Investigational research by professional users
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
8.1 Control Parameters
ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
none determined
OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):
none determined
8.2 Exposure Controls
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
For conditions of use where exposure to the substance is apparent, consult an industrial hygienist. For emergencies, or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.
Eye Protection
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Skin Protection
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
