===========  SECTION VII  –  PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE  ============
 
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
Ventilate area. Remove sources of ignition. Prevent skin contact & breathing of vapor. Wear properly fitted NIOSH/MSHA
vapor/particulate respirator. Confine and remove material with inert absorbent.
 
 
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD
Do not allow material to contaminate ground water systems. Incinerate absorbed material in accordance with federal,
state, and local requirements. Do not incinerate in closed containers.
 
 
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING
Observe label precautions. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Close container after each use. Ground containers when
pouring. Wash thoroughly after handlingand before eating or smoking. Do not store above 120 degrees F.
 
 
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT SAND, FLAME CUT, BRAZE OR WELD DRY COATING WITHOUT A NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR OR APPROPRIATE VENTILATION.
ALL SOLVENT VAPORS ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR AND CAN STRATIFY IF AIR IS NOT EXHAUSTED. TURN OFF ALL PILOT LIGHTS OR SOURCES O
F OPEN FLAME, SPARKS OR IGNITION.
 
 
=====================  SECTION VIII  –  CONTROL MEASURES  ======================
 
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
WEAR A PROPERLY FITTED VAPOR/PARTICULATE RESPIRATOR APPROVED BY NIOSH/MSHA (TC-23C)FOR USE WITH PAINTS DURING APPLICA-
TION AND UNTIL ALL VAPORS AND SPRAY MISTS ARE EXHAUSTED. IN CONFINED SPACES OR WHERE CONTINUOUS SPRAY OPERATIONS ARE
TYPICAL, WEAR A POSITIVE-PRESSURE, SUPPLIED AIR RESPIRATOR (TC-19C). FOLLOW RESPIRATOR MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
 
 
VENTILATION
PROVIDE SUFFICIENT VENTILATION IN VOLUME AND PATTERN TO KEEP CONTAMINANTS BELOW THE TLV LIMIT AND APPLICABLE OSHA
REQUIREMENTS. EXHAUST AIR MAY NEED TO BE CLEANED BY SCRUBBERS OR FILTERS TO REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION.
 
 
PROTECTIVE GLOVES
Neoprene gloves are recommended.
 
EYE PROTECTION
Desirable in all industrial situations. Include splash guards or side shields.
 
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT
Rubber apron and coveralls are recommended.
