PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: Restrict access to areas of appropriate until clean-up operations are complete. Stop or reduce any leaks if it is safe to do so. Do not touch spilled material. Ventilate spill area if possible. Use personal protective equipment recommended in Section 8 (Exposure Controls / Person al Protection)

METHODS FOR CLEANING UP: SMALL SPILLS: Soak up spill with absorbent material. Place residues in a suitable, covered , properly labeled container. Wash affected area.

LARGE SPILLS: Contain liquid using absorbent material, by digging trenches or by diking. Reclaim into recovery or salvage drums or tank truck for proper disposal. Contact an approved waste hauler for disposal of contaminated recovered material. Dispose of material in compliance with regulations indicated in Section 13 (Disposal Considerations).

Store in suitable labeled containers.

SUITABLE CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL: HDPE (high density polyethylene). Compatibility with Plastic Materials can vary; we therefore recommend that compatibility is tested prior to use.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: This product contains amorphous, colloidal or fumed silica. Should the product become dried or misted such that inhalation of the material is possible, standard hygiene practices should be utilized to ensure that exposure to respirable particles is within the regulated limits.

ACGIH / TLV Substances(s) Amorphous Silica TWA: 10 mg/m3

OSHA / PEL Substances(s) Amorphous Silica TWA: 6 mg/m3

ENGINEERING MEASURES: The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended to control emissions near the source. Laboratory samples should be handled in a fumehood. Provide mechanical ventilation of confined spaces.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Where concentrations in air may exceed the limits given in this section, the use of a half face filter mask or air supplied breathing apparatus is recommended. A suitable filter material depends on the amount and type of
chemicals being handled. Consider the use of filter type: Particulate filter – HEPA, with a Particulate pre-filter. In event of emergency or planned entry into unknown concentrations a positive pressure, full-facepiece SCBA should be used. If respiratory protection is required, institute a complete respiratory protection program including selection, fit testing, training, maintenance and inspection.

HAND PROTECTION: When handling this product, the use of chemical gloves is recommended. The choice of work glove depends on work conditions and what chemicals are handled, but we have positive experience under light handling conditions.
 Using gloves made from , Neoprene, Nitrile, PVC. Gloves should be replaced immediately if signs of degradation are observed. Breakthrough time not determined as preparation, consult PPE manufacturers.

SKIN PROTECTION: Wear standard protective clothing.

EYE PROTECTION: Wear chemical splash goggles.
HYGIENE RECOMMENDATIONS: Use good work and personal hygiene practices to avoid exposure. Keep an eye wash fountain available. Keep a safety shower available. If clothing is contaminated, remove clothing and thoroughly wash the affected area.
Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Always wash thoroughly after handling chemicals. When handling this product never eat, drink or smoke.

ACUTE FISH RESULTS:

MOBILITY:

The environmental fate was estimated using a level III fugacity model embedded in the EPI (estimation program interface) Suite TM, proved by the US EPA. The model assumes a steady state condition between the total input and output. The level III model does not require equilibrium between the defined media. The information provided is intended to give the user a general estimate of the environmental fate of this product under the designed conditions of the models. If released into the environment this material is expected to distribute to the air, water and soil / sediment in the approximate respective percentages:

The portion in water is expected to be soluble or dispersible.

BIOACCUMULATION POTENTIAL: This preparation or material is not expected to bioaccumulate.

ENVIRONEMNTAL HAZARD AND EXPOSURE CHARACTERIZATION: Based on our hazard characterization, the potential environmental hazard is : LOW
