• Static Hazard Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when handling
<br /> this material To minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding may be necessary but may not, by
<br /> themselves, be sufficient Review all operations, which have the potential of generating an accumulation
<br /> of electrostatic charge and/or a flammable atmosphere (including tank and container filling, splash filling,
<br /> tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading,filtering, mixing, agitation, and vacuum truck operations)
<br /> and use appropriate mitigating procedures For more information, refer to OSHA Standard 29 CFR
<br /> 1910 106, 'Flammable and Combustible Liquids', National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 77),
<br /> 'Recommended Practice on Static Electricity', and/or the American Petroleum Institute (API)
<br /> Recommended Practice 2003, 'Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out of Static, Lightning, and Stray
<br /> Currents'
<br /> General Storage Information DO NOT USE OR STORE near heat, sparks or open flames USE AND
<br /> STORE ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AREA Keep container closed when not in use Container is not
<br /> designed to contain pressure Do not use pressure to empty container or it may rupture with explosive
<br /> force Empty containers retain product residue (solid, liquid, and/or vapor) and can be dangerous Do
<br /> not pressurize, cut, weld, braze,solder, drill, grind, or expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks,
<br /> static electricity, or other sources of ignition They may explode and cause injury or death Empty
<br /> containers should be completely drained, properly closed, and promptly returned to a drum reconditioner,
<br /> or disposed of properly
<br /> SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
<br /> GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
<br /> Consider the potential hazards of this material(see Section 3), applicable exposure limits,fob activities,
<br /> and other substances in the work place when designing engineering controls and selecting personal
<br /> protective equipment If engineering controls or work practices are not adequate to prevent exposure to
<br /> harmful levels of this material,the personal protective equipment listed below is recommended The user
<br /> should read and understand all instructions and limitations supplied with the equipment since protection is
<br /> usually provided for a limited time or under certain circumstances
<br /> ENGINEERING CONTROLS
<br /> Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels
<br /> below the recommended exposure limits
<br /> PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
<br /> Eye/Face Protection No special eye protection is normally required Where splashing is possible,
<br /> wear chemical goggles as a good safety practice Wear eye protection such as safety glasses, chemical
<br /> goggles, or faceshields if engineering controls or work practices are not adequate to prevent eye contact
<br /> Skin Protection Wear impervious protective clothing to prevent skin contact Selection of protective
<br /> clothing may include gloves,apron, boots, and complete facial protection depending on operations
<br /> conducted Users should determine acceptable performance characteristics of protective clothing
<br /> Consider physical requirements and other substances present when selecting protective clothing
<br /> Suggested materials for protective gloves include 4H (PE/EVAL), or Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA)(Note PVA
<br /> deteriorates in water Avoid contact with water), or Silver Shield, or Viton
<br /> Respiratory Protection If exposure is anticipated to be greater than applicable exposure limits, wear a
<br /> NIOSH approved respirator that provides adequate protection from measured concentrations of this
<br /> material, such as Supplied-Air Respirator, or Air-Purifying Respirator for Organic Vapors, or Self-
<br /> contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)for use in environments with unknown concentrations or
<br /> emergency situations
<br /> Use a positive pressure, air-supplying respirator if there is potential for uncontrolled release, exposure
<br /> levels are not known,or other circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate
<br /> protection
<br /> occupational Exposure Limits
<br /> component Limit TWA STEL/Peak I Ceiling Notation
