Environmental Precautions Should not be released into the environment. See Section 12 for additional Ecological Information.
Methods for Containment and Clean Up
Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal. Avoid dust formation.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Wear personal protective equipment/face protection. Avoid dust formation. Do not get in
eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Use only under a chemical fume hood. Do not breathe (dust,
vapor, mist, gas). Do not ingest. If swallowed then seek immediate medical assistance.
Storage Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Refer product specification and/or product
label for specific storage temperature requirement. Keep container tightly closed.
SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
