| SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS:
KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS AND OPEN FLAME.
PROVIDE SUFFICIENT VENTILATION, USE EXPLOSION-PROOF EXHAUST VENTILATION
EQUIPMENT OR WEAR SUITABLE RESPIRATORY PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
PREVENT CONTACT WITH SKIN OR EYES (SEE SECTION 8).
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:
PREVENT PRODUCT OR LIQUIDS CONTAMINATED WITH PRODUCT FROM ENTERING SEWERS,
DRAINS, SOIL OR OPEN WATER COURSE.
METHODS FOR CLEANING UP:
CLEAN UP WITH SAND OR OTHER INERT ABSORBENT MATERIAL. TRANSFER TO A
CLOSABLE STEEL VESSEL.
MATERIALS NOT TO BE USED FOR CLEAN UP: ALUMINUM OR PLASTIC CONTAINERS
| SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
HANDLING:
AVOID BREATHING OF VAPOR, AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN AND CLOTHING.
KEEP AWAY FROM IGNITION SOURCES, USE ONLY ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED HANDLING
EQUIPMENT AND ENSURE ADEQUATE VENTILATION/FUME EXHAUST HOODS.
DO NOT EAT, DRINK OR SMOKE WHILE HANDLING.
STORAGE:
STORE IN VENTILATED ROOM OR SHADE BELOW 33 DEG. C (90 DEG. F) AND AWAY FROM
DIRECT SUNLIGHT.
KEEP AWAY FROM IGNITION SOURCES AND INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS:

CYCLOHEXANONE 20 PPM 50 PPM 50 PPM
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: USE LOCAL EXHAUST AS NEEDED.
MONITORING:
MAINTAIN BREATHING ZONE AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS BELOW EXPOSURE LIMITS.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE):
EYE PROTECTION:
AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES, WEAR SPLASH-PROOF CHEMICAL GOGGLES, FACE SHIELD,
SAFETY GLASSES (SPECTACLES) WITH BROW GUARDS AND SIDE SHIELDS, ETC. AS MAY
BE APPROPRIATE FOR THE EXPOSURE.
SKIN PROTECTION:
PREVENT CONTACT WITH THE SKIN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. BUTYL RUBBER GLOVES
SHOULD BE USED FOR FREQUENT IMMERSION.
USE OF SOLVENT-RESISTANT GLOVES OR SOLVENT-RESISTANT BARRIER CREAM SHOULD
PROVIDE ADEQUATE PROTECTION WHEN NORMAL ADHESIVE APPLICATION PRACTICES AND
PROCEDURES ARE USED FOR MAKING STRUCTURAL BONDS.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
PREVENT INHALATION OF THE SOLVENTS. USE IN A WELL-VENTILATED ROOM. OPEN
DOORS AND/OR WINDOWS TO ENSURE AIRFLOW AND AIR CHANGES. USE LOCAL EXHAUST
VENTILATION TO REMOVE AIRBORNE CONTAMINANTS FROM EMPLOYEE BREATHING ZONE
AND TO KEEP CONTAMINANTS BELOW LEVELS LISTED ABOVE. WITH NORMAL USE, THE
EXPOSURE LIMIT VALUE WILL NOT USUALLY BE REACHED. WHEN LIMITS APPROACHED,
USE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION EQUIPMENT.
