SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURE
S
Personal precautions: Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame.
Provide sufficient ventilation, use explosion-proof exhaust ventilation eqiuipment or wear suitable respiratory protective equipment.
Prevent contact with skin or eyes (see section 8).
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product or liquids contaminated with product from entering sewers, drains, soil or open water course.
Methods for Cleaning up: Clean up with sand or other inert absorbant material. Transfer to a closable vessel (Metal or polyethylene [PE])
Materials not to be used for clean up: Liquid(s)
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAG
E
Handling: Avoid breathing of vapor, avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
Keep away from ignition sources, use only electrically grounded handling equipment and ensure adequate ventilation/fume exhaust hoods.
Do not eat; drink or smoke while handling.
Storage: Store in ventliated room or shade below 27°C (80°F) and away from diirect sunlight.
Keep away from ignition sources and incompatible materials: caustics, ammonia, inorganic acids, chlorinated compounds, strong oxydizers and isocyanates.
Follow all precautionary information on container label, product bulletins and solvent cementing literature.

Engineering Controls: If ventilated cabinet, enclosure or fume hood is necessary, average airflow should be at least 100 FPM (50.8 cm/sec).
Monitoring: Maintain breathing zone airborne concentrations below exposure limits.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
Eye Protection: Avoid contact with eyes, wear splashproof chemical goggles, face shield, safety glasses (spectacles) with brow guards and side shields,
etc.as may be appropriate for the exposure.
Skin Protection: Prevent contact with the skin as much as possible.Polyethylene or PVA coated rubber gloves should be used for frequent immersion.
Use of latex/nitrile surgical gloves or solvent-resistant barier cream should provide adequate protection when normal adhesive application
practices and procedures are used for making structural bonds.
Respiratory Protection: Prevent inhalation of the solvents. Use in a well-ventilated room. Open doors and/or windows to ensure airflow and air changes. Use local
exhaust ventilation to remove airborne contaminants from employee breathing zone and to keep contaminants below levels listed above.
With normal use, the Exposure Limit Value will not usually be reached. When limits approached, use respiratory protection equipment.
