Other Information
Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean up. Determine appropriate course of action for
collected material. Regulations vary. Consult local authorities before disposal.
Handling
Organics can obtain an electrostatic charge during processing activities including mixing, filtering, or pumping,
which may represent a spark hazard and, therefore, a fire hazard. Also, sudden release of such materials from
process equipment at elevated temperatures, and/ or pressures, can result in ignitions from static absent any
apparent ignition source. Flashpoint and auto ignition values obtained from standard test conditions may not be
applicable to other situations and, thus, the safe use of this material in any process should be reviewed by one
familiar with both the processing conditions and this material. As with all chemicals, good industrial hygiene
practices should be followed when handling this material. When the container(s) is empty it may retain product
residue including vapors, which would accumulate. Therefore, do not cut, drill, grind, or weld empty containers.
Additionally, do not conduct such activity near full, or empty product containers without appropriate workplace
safety authorization(s) permit(s).
Storage
Protect container from physical abuse. Keep container tightly closed. Keep this material in a cool, well-ventilated
place. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Keep separate from incompatibles. Bond and ground containers when
transferring material. Do not handle or store near an open flame, heat or other sources of ignition. Do not cut,
weld, solder, drill, grind, or expose containers to heat, flame, sparks, or other sources of ignition. Empty product
containers may contain product residue.
Wear safety glasses with side shields; chemical goggles (if splashing is possible). Wear a face shield if a splash
hazard exists
