MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET <br /> Ashland Chemical Co. Page 005 <br /> Date Prepared: 11/26/97 <br /> Date Printed: 12/04/97 <br /> MSDS Not 999.0000591-008.004 <br /> MINERAL SPIRITS 66 " <br /> 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE <br /> Handling <br /> Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since <br /> emptied containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or <br /> solid) , all hazard precautions given in the data sheet must be <br /> observed. All five-gallon pails and larger metal containers, <br /> including tank cars and tank trucks, should be grounded and/or <br /> bonded when material is transferred. Hydrocarbon solvents are <br /> basically non-conductors of electricity and can become <br /> electrostatically charged during mixing, filtering or pumping at <br /> high flow rates. If this charge reaches a sufficiently high <br /> level, sparks can form that may ignite the vapors of flammable <br /> liquids. Warning. Sudden release of hot organic chemical vapors <br /> or mists from process equipment operating at elevated temperature <br /> and pressure, or sudden ingress of air into vacuum equipment, may <br /> result in ignitions without the presence of obvious ignition <br /> sources. Published "autoignition" or "ignition" temperature values <br /> cannot be treated as safe operating temperatures in chemical <br /> processes without analysis of the actual process conditions. Any <br /> use of this product in elevated temperature processes should be <br /> thoroughly evaluated to establish and maintain safe operating <br /> conditions. <br /> B. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION <br /> Eye Protection <br /> Chemical splash goggles in compliance with OSHA regulations are <br /> advised; however, OSHA regulations also permit other type safety <br /> glasses. Consult your safety representative. <br /> Skin Protection <br /> Wear resistant gloves (consult your safety equipment supplier) . , <br /> To prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact, wear impervious <br /> clothing and boots. . <br /> Respiratory Protections <br /> I€ workplace exposure limit(s) of product or any component is <br /> exceeded (see exposure guidelines) , a NIOSH/MSHA approved air <br /> supplied respirator is advised in absence of proper environmental <br /> control. OSHA regulations also permit other NIOSH/MSHA <br /> respirators (negative pressure type) under specified conditions <br /> (see your industrial hygienist) . Engineering or administrative <br /> controls should be implemented to reduce exposure. <br /> Continued on next page <br /> e <br /> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br />
