CN 5961

If exposed to excessive levels of material in the air, move the exposed person to fresh air.

Symptoms: Coughing or respiratory discomfort.

Remove clothing and shoes if contaminated. To further remove the material from skin, apply a waterless hand cleaner, mineral oil, or petroleum jelly. Then wash with soap and water. Discard contaminated clothing and shoes or thoroughly clean before reuse.

Symptoms: Contact with the skin is not expected to be harmful.

Remove contact lenses, if worn, and flush eyes with water.

Symptoms: Not expected to cause prolonged or significant eye irritation.

Do not induce vomiting. As a precaution, get medical advice.

Symptoms: Not expected to be harmful if swallowed.

Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish flames.

A complex mixture of airborne solids, liquids, and gases including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and unidentified organic compounds will be evolved when this material undergoes combustion.

For fires involving this material, do not enter any enclosed or confined fire space without proper protective equipment, including self-contained breathing apparatus.

Observe all relevant local and international regulations. Keep out unnecessary and unprotected personnel. Persons entering the contaminated area to correct the problem or to determine whether it is safe to resume normal activities must comply with all instructions in the Exposure Controls/PersonalProtection section.

Stop the source of the release if you can do it without risk. Contain release to prevent further contamination of soil, surface water or groundwater.

Clean up spill as soon as possible, observing precautions in Exposure Controls/Personal Protection. Use appropriate techniques such as applying non-combustible absorbent materials or pumping.

Materials: non-combustible absorbent materials

Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. If this material is heated above 49°C (120°F) thermal burns can result from accidental contact with skin or eyes. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment if engineering controls or work practices are not adequate to prevent contact. Some heated materials may release fumes that are unpleasant and produce nausea and irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract. Do not taste or swallow. Wash thoroughly after handling.

General Storage Information: The maximum short-term (<3 month(s)) storage temperature is 65°C. The maximum long-term (>3 month(s)) storage temperature is 45°C.

Wash thoroughly after handling.

Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when handling this material. To minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding may be necessary but may not, by themselves, be sufficient. Review all operations which have the potential of generating and accumulating an electrostatic charge and/or a flammable atmosphere (including tank and container filling, splash filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, filtering, mixing, agitation, and vacuum truck operations) and use appropriate mitigating procedures.

Use in a well-ventilated area.

Using chemical PPE depends upon operations conducted and may include chemical gloves. Refer to PPE manufacturers to obtain breakthrough time information to determine how long PPE can be used before it needs to be replaced. Butyl (0.7 mm, 120 minutes), Nitrile (0.8 mm, 240 minutes), Viton Butyl (0.3 mm, 240 minutes).

Wear protective equipment to prevent eye contact. Selection of protective equipment may include safety glasses, chemical goggles, face shields, or a combination depending on the work operations conducted.

A site-specific risk assessment should be conducted by an Occupational Hygienist or a Safety Professional to determine the type and use of respiratory protective equipment. Air purifying respirator: If airborne concentration limits exceed the applicable occupational exposure limit, but are below the maximum use concentration. Vapors only: organic vapor cartridge (filter type A3 per EN 529:2005). Vapors and particulates (including generated mists): both an organic vapor cartridge & particulate filter (AP3 filter per EN 529:2005). Positive pressure air-supplying respirator: If airborne concentration limits exceed the maximum use concentration offered from an air purifying respirator. Refer to EN 529:2005, USA OSHA 1910.134, and/or other applicable local/regional/national/international standards for regulatory requirements.

Wear chemical personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent skin contact. Selection of chemical protective clothing should be performed by an Occupational Hygienist or Safety Professional and be based upon applicable standards (ASTM F739 or EN 374). Using chemical PPE depends upon operations conducted and may include chemical gloves, boots, chemical apron, chemical suit, and complete facial protection.

See relevant Community environmental protection legislation or the Annex, as applicable.
