SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions : Eye contact and inhalation.
Environmental Precautions: : Prevent material from contaminating soil or entering sewerage and drainage systems.
Spill response : Use appropriate NIOHS/MSHA approved respirator. Wear chemical gloves, goggles, and lab coat. Carefully contain spilled material. Deposit spilled material in appropriate waste container. Wash spill area with soap and water.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling : Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash thoroughly after handling and before mealtimes. Follow all MSDS and label precautions even after container is emptied since it may contain residual material.
Storage : Store containers closed in ambient location.

| SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION | ||||
This product has not been evaluated for its ecotoxicity. However, the biodegradation of this product under aerobic conditions is expected to be very poor and there is no evidence to suggest they create ecological problems when released into the environment. Since this product is insoluble, it is believed to have minimal bioaccumulation and bioavailability characteristics.
