HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, smoke and fumes, hydrocarbon fragments.
SECTION 6 – ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES (SPILLS OR LEAKS)
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: Isolate the danger area and keep out unauthorized personnel. Stop spill if it can be done with minimal risk. Wear appropriate protective equipment including respiratory protection as conditions warrant (see section 8). Prevent additional discharge of material. Notify the appropriate authorities immediately. Contain spilled liquid with sand, earth or other non-combustible inert absorbent material. Prevent run-off from entering storm sewers, ditches or waterways. Transfer absorbed waste material into properly identified drums. Treat waste material with s ame precautions as the adhesive.
Do not use solvent or flammable liquid to help clean up an accidental release. Release to the environment may be reportable under environmental regulations.
SECTION 7 – HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: Do not enter confined spaces such as tanks without following proper entry procedures as described in OSHA regulations at 29 CFR 1910.146. Do not breathe vapors. The use of respiratory protection is recommended when airborne concentrations of vapour exceed exposure guidelines. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not wear contaminated clothing or shoes. Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing to prevent prolonged or repeated skin contact. Avoid contact with eyes.
STORAGE: Keep containers tightly closed. Use and store this material in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, direct sunlight, hot metal surfaces, and all sources of ignition. Store only in approved containers. Protect containers against physical damage. Indoor storage should meet OSHA standards and appropriate fire codes.
EMPTY CONTAINERS: May contain liquid and vapor residue and may be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks, or other sources of ignition. “Empty” drums should be completely drained, properly bunged, and promptly shipped to the supplier or a drum reconditioner. All containers should be disposed of in accordance with governmental regulations.
Wash with soap and water before eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet facilities. Consult NFPA and OSHA codes.
SECTION 8 – EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Specific respiratory protection is not necessary when the adhesive is used as recommended. If in doubt, seek the advice of an industrial hygienist or safety professional for appropriate respiratory equipment.
SKIN PROTECTION: The use of gloves impermeable to the specific material handled is advised to prevent prolonged or repeated skin contact. Where splashing is likely to occur, aprons impermeable to the specific material may be worn. Refer to the glove and protective clothing manufacturer’s selection guide for appropriate material.
EYE PROTECTION: Approved chemical splash goggles should be worn to safeguard against potential eye contact, irritation or injury . Where splashing is likely to occur, hard hats and face shields may be used to provide additional protection. Eye wash facilities should be available in the work area.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended. Provide mechanical ventilation of confined spaces.
