SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautionary Measures: Keep out of the reach of children.
General Handling Information: Avoid contaminating soil or releasing this material into sewage and drainage systems
and bodies of water.
Static Hazard: Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when handling this material. To
minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding may be necessary but may not, by themselves, be sufficient. Review all
operations which have the potential of generating and accumulating an electrostatic charge and/or a flammable
atmosphere (including tank and container filling, splash filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, filtering,
mixing, agitation, and vacuum truck operations) and use appropriate mitigating procedures. For more information, refer
to OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.106, 'Flammable and Combustible Liquids', National Fire Protection Association (NFPA
77, 'Recommended Practice on Static Electricity', and/or the American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice
2003, 'Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out of Static, Lightning, and Stray Currents'.
Container Warnings: Container is not designed to contain pressure. Do not use pressure to empty container or it may
rupture with explosive force. Empty containers retain product residue (solid, liquid, and/or vapor) and can be dangerous.
Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity,
or other sources of ignition. They may explode and cause injury or death. Empty containers should be completely
drained, properly closed, and promptly returned to a drum reconditioner or disposed of properly.
SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Consider the potential hazards of this material (see Section 3), applicable exposure limits, job activities, and other
substances in the work place when designing engineering controls and selecting personal protective equipment. If
engineering controls or work practices are not adequate to prevent exposure to harmful levels of this material, the
personal protective equipment listed below is recommended. The user should read and understand all instructions and
limitations supplied with the equipment since protection is usually provided for a limited time or under certain
circumstances.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Use in a well-ventilated area.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Eye/Face Protection: No special eye protection is normally required. Where splashing is possible, wear safety glasses
with side shields as a good safety practice.
Skin Protection: No special protective clothing is normally required. Where splashing is possible, select protective
clothing depending on operations conducted, physical requirements and other substances in the workplace. Suggested
materials for protective gloves include: Neoprene, Nitrile Rubber, Silver Shield, Viton.
Respiratory Protection: No respiratory protection is normally required.
If user operations generate an oil mist, determine if airborne concentrations are below the occupational exposure limit for
mineral oil mist. If not, wear an approved respirator that provides adequate protection from the measured concentrations
of this material. For air-purifying respirators use a particulate cartridge.
Use a positive pressure air-supplying respirator in circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide
adequate protection.
