Reactivity Data |
| Stability: |
Stable |
|
Conditions to Avoid: |
Extremes in
temperatures. |
|
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): |

| Section VII -
Precautions for Safe Handling and Use |
|
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: |
Contain the spill to
prevent discharge to surface |
| streams or storm sewers.
Since landfill operations will not accept liquid waste, allow to dry
if possible before collecting for |
| disposal. An absorbent
material would aid in cleaning up a liquid spill. If liquid cleanup is
necessary, collect in drums, |
| buckets, or other
containers. Scrub spill area with detergent, flush with copious
amounts of water. |
|
Waste Disposal Method: |
The
environmental concern is discoloration of land or water. If possible,
the product |
| should be dried before
disposal. Disposal must be made in accordance with federal, state, and
local regulation. |
|
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing: |
Local exhaust.
Do not freeze. Avoid unnecessary skin |
| contact. Do not breathe
fumes. |
| Other
Precautions: |
Eye wash
fountains should be easily accessible. As with all chemicals, keep out
of the reach of |
| children. |
| Section VIII -
Control Measures |
|
Respiratory: |
If vapors or mists are
generated, wear NIOSH/MSHA approved organic vapor/mist respirator. |
|
Ventilation: |
Use local
exhaust to control vapors/mists if applicable. Protection: NIOSH/MSHA
approved respirator. |
|
Clothing: |
Gloves,
coveralls, apron, boots as necessary to prevent skin contact as
needed. |
| Eye: |
Chemical
goggles; wear face shield if splashing hazard exists. |
