PREVENTIVE MEASURES |
| Personal Protective Equipment: |
| Gloves: |
Rubber or PVC coated |
| Respirator: |
NIOSH or MSHA mask with pre-filter if mists in air |
| Eye: |
CSA approved safetey glasses |
| Footwear: |
Normal non-slip industrial footwear |
| Clothing: |
Coveralls are normally sufficient |
| Engineering Controls: |
Normal room ventilation may be adequate at ambient temperatures
or covered equipment. In the event of misting, local exhaust ventilation is
needed. |
| Leak and Spill Procedure: |
Small spills should be flushed with large volumes of water.
Large spills should be collected for disposal |
| Waste Disposal: |
Send to a licensed reclaimer/waste disposal facility, incinerate
or landfill to meet federal, provincial and local regulations. |
| Handling Procedures & Equipment: |
Do not take internally. Wash after handling. Do not inhale mist
or vapour. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes. |
| Storage Requirements: |
Keep in a tightly closed container. Do not allow water to
evaporate. Do not store with incompatible substances. |
| Special Shipping Requirements: |
TDG: Not regulated

FIRST AID MEASURES |
| Eyes: |
Wash with water for 15 minutes. Consult a doctor if irritation
persists |
| Skin: |
Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and
launder before re-use. |
| Ingestion: |
If conscious, give 2 glasses of water and induce vomiting. Call
a physician. |
| Inhalation: |
Remove to fresh air. Call a physician if discomfort persists.
