Mechanical (general) - recommended
Special - N/A

5) OTHER (Specify):

Additional local exhasut is recommended where vapors, mist or aerosols may be released.

SECTION VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE/LEAKS

1) STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS SPILLED OR RELEASED:

Keep unnecessary people away. Dike and contain spill with inert material (sand, earth, etc.) and transfer liquid to containers for recovery or disposal. Keep spill out of sewers and bodies of water. Floors may be slippery, care should be excercised to avoid falls.

2) WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS:

Coagulate the emulsion with ferric chloride or sulfate and then lime to a clear end point. Decant the clear liquid to sewer and landfill the coagulum. Incineration of the entire emulsion is possible but impractical because of the high water content. Coagulum may be incinerated.

3) ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

N/A

4) PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE:

Avoid storage above 100°F. Keep from freezing. Minimum: 1.1°C/34°F Maximum: 60°C/140°F. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact. Avoid inhalation of heated vapors or spray mists.
