gloves.
Large Spill : Use personal protection recommended in Section 8. Isolate
area, and deny entry to unnecessary and unprotected personnel. Dam spill, and
absorb with earth, sand, or similar material. Place in non-leaking containers.
Dispose of collected material according to local, state, and federal
regulations. Flush residue with a large amount of water. Avoid direct
discharge to sewers and surface waters.
SECTION 7- HANDLING AND STORAGE
STORAGE: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from heat. Keep
containers tightly closed. Avoid contact with combustible materials, wood, and
organic materials. Store in original container in a secure area away from
children and pets.
HANDLING : Avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing. It May be harmful
or if swallowed. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapors or
mist. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in the work area. Wash hand thoroughly after
use. Consumer size containers (28, and 42 fluid ounces and gallon containers),
should be rinsed and recycled. DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT OR EXPOSE THESE
CONTAINERS TO HEAT, FLAME, SPARKS, STATIC ELECTRICITY, OR OTHER SOURCES OF
IGNITION. THEY MAY EXPLODE AND CAUSE INJURY. DO NOT MIX WITH BLEACH, OR ANY
OTHER PRODUCTS AS TOXIC FUMES MAY RESULT. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
SECTION 8 – EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
VENTILATION REQUIREMENT : Avoid prolonged breathing mists or dust of
this product. Use with adequate ventilation. Do not use in closed or confined
spaces.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION : None required during normal household use.
EYE PROTECTION : Not required during normal household usage. Do not wear
contact lenses. Emergency responders should wear full eye and face protection.
SKIN PROTECTION : Rubber gloves with protective cuff. Emergency
responders should wear impermeable gloves.
OTHER PROTECTION : Emergency responders should wear chemical type
(impermeable) protective clothing and footwear where direct contact with
chemicals in this product is possible.
WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES : Wash thoroughly with soap and water after use
or handling.
