SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, : Avoid dust formation.

protective equipment and Avoid breathing dust.
emergency procedures Material can create slippery conditions.
Persons not wearing protective equipment should be excluded
from area of spill until clean-up has been completed.
Comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations.

Environmental precautions : Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

Methods and materials for : Pick up and arrange disposal without creating dust.
containment and cleaning up Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Advice on protection against : Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.
fire and explosion Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust
is formed.

Advice on safe handling : Avoid dust formation.

Ensure all equipment is electrically grounded and bonded
before beginning transfer operations.
The material can accumulate static charge and can therefore
cause electrical ignition of flammable atmospheres.
Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the
application area.
For personal protection see section 8.
Maintain good housekeeping. Do not permit dust layers to
accumulate, for example, on floors, ledges, and equipment, in
order to avoid any potential for dust explosion hazards.

Conditions for safe storage : No smoking.

Materials to avoid : No materials to be especially mentioned.

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Components with workplace control parameters

Engineering measures : Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust
is formed.
General room ventilation should be adequate for normal
conditions of use. However, if unusual operating conditions
exist, provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local
exhaust) ventilation to maintain exposure below exposure
guidelines (if applicable) or below levels that cause known,
suspected or apparent adverse effects.

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection : In the case of dust or aerosol formation use respirator with an
approved filter within the capabilities of the respirator/filter
combination.
Where concentrations are above recommended limits or are
unknown, or a cartridge type respirator is not adequate, wear
a positive-pressure supplied-air respirator.

Hand protection
Material : butyl-rubber
Break through time : 480 min
Glove thickness : > 0,5 mm

Remarks : The exact break through time can be obtained from the
protective glove producer and this has to be observed. Gloves
should be discarded and replaced if there is any indication of
degradation or chemical breakthrough.

Eye protection : Safety glasses

Skin and body protection : Wear as appropriate:

Safety shoes

Hygiene measures : Avoid breathing dust.
