Note: see section 1 for emergency contactinformation and section 13 for waste disposal.Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Eating, drinking andsmoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored andprocessed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking.Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing dust. Avoidthe creation of dust when handling and avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark orflame). Prevent dust accumulation. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wearappropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Keep in the original container oran approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not inuse. Electrical equipment and lighting should be protected to appropriate standards toprevent dust coming into contact with hot surfaces, sparks or other ignition sources.Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container.Storage:Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and approved area.Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilatedarea, away from incompatible materials (see section 10) and food and drink. Eliminateall ignition sources. Separate from oxidizing materials. Keep container tightly closedand sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefullyresealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Useappropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.9/28/2011.062021-5K3/8

Physical and chemical propertiesPhysical stateColorOdorDistributionMelting/freezing point :VOC content :Solubility: If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal, workplace atmosphereor biological monitoring may be required to determine the effectiveness of the ventilationor other control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory protective equipment.: Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas, vaporor mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controlsto keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutorylimits. The engineering controls also need to keep gas, vapor or dust concentrationsbelow any lower explosive limits. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.: Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, beforeeating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Appropriatetechniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Washcontaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showersare close to the workstation location.:::Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approvedstandard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must bebased on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safeworking limits of the selected respirator.Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should beworn at all times when handling chemical products.Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a riskassessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists ordusts. If operating conditions cause high dust concentrations to be produced, use dustgoggles.Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task beingperformed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before handlingthis product.: Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure theycomply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation.
