ntilation. Wear personal protection equipment. Do not breathe dust. Environmental Precaution Do not allow to enter into soil waterbodies or drains. Methods for Cleaning Up Avoid generation of dust. Remove all sources of ignition. Sweep or scoop up into closed containers for disposal. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Max. Storage Temperature 120F 49C Handling Ensure appropriate exhaust and ventilation at machinery and at places where dust can be generated. Avoid dust formation and accumulation of static charges. Prohibit sources of spark and ignition such as smoking. Processing of this product under high temperatures will cause hazardous emissions of vapors carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide. Storage If this material is stored under ambient temperature conditions it is not hazardous. However extensive storing at higher than the maximum temperature will emit vapors carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLSPERSONAL PROTECTION Exposure Limits Not applicable Ventilation Measures Provide good ventilation andor an exhaust system in the work area. Respiratory Protection None required under normal conditions. Hand Protection Canvas or cotton gloves. Eye Protection Safety glasses with side shields ANSI Z87.1 equivalent. Skin Body Protection Wear suitable protective clothing and boots. Other Protective Measures Avoid contact of molten material with skin. Do not inhale dust particles or vapors. Keep away from sources of ignition. Wash hands before breaks and after work. 9.
