Clean Up Methods: Absorb spillage with inert absorbent (sand, vermiculite), collect in sealed container, wash area with detergent and water, dispose in accordance with regulations
Reference to Other Sections: Wear proper PPE (see Section “Exposure Controls”)
Handling: Use in well-ventilated areas, keep away from heat, flames, open sources of ignition, wear gloves and eye protection, avoid contact with skin and eyes, remove contaminated clothing immediately
Storage: Store in tightly closed, labeled containers, in a cool and dry location, away from strong acids, oxidizers, sources of ignition or incompatible substances, keep container upright, limit access to trained personnel
Other Advice: Avoid storing in direct sunlight, segregate from food, drink and incompatible chemicals, maintain proper labeling
Engineering Controls: Use chemical fume hood or local exhaust if available, ensure eyewash stations and safety showers remain accessible
Personal Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or butyl), safety goggles, lab coat or apron, avoid direct skin contact, use NIOSH-approved mask if airborne exposure expected
