SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Evacuate area of all unnecessary personnel. Remove all sources of ignition. Refer
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN EVENT
to protective measures listed in Sections 7 and 8. Spilled material should be swept
OF SPILL OR RELEASE
up with an inert, moist diluent such as perlite, vermiculite, or sand. Keep spilled
material from entering drains, sewers, streams, etc. Carefully collect the material
and transfer into a clean polyethylene lined or a polyethylene drum disposal
container using non-sparking tools. Add water to container. Label container and
store in a secure area for proper disposal. Flush spill area with copious amounts of
water. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is complete

SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Rotate stock using the oldest material first. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and
HANDLING
clothing. Avoid breathing vapors and use with adequate ventilation. Avoid prolonged
or repeated exposure. Use PPE as specified in Section 8. Keep containers closed to
prevent contamination. Keep away from sources of heat, sparks or flame. Do not
add to hot solvents or monomers as a violent decomposition and/or reaction may
result. Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Keep in its original
container. DO NOT USE NEAR FOOD OR DRINK. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Remove and wash contaminated clothing promptly.
The stability is directly related to the shipping and storage temperature history. Cool
STORAGE
storage at 80??F (27??C) or below is recommended for longer shelf life and stability.
Prolonged storage at elevated temperatures of 100??F (38??C) and higher will cause
product degradation, gassing and potential container rupture which can result in a
fire and/or explosion. Store out of direct sunlight in a well ventilated area away from
combustible and incompatible materials. DO NOT STORE WITH FOOD OR DRINK.
Refer to NFPA 432 Code for the Storage of Organic Peroxide Formulations from the
National Fire Protection Association for additional storage information.
Unmixed, uncontaminated material, remaining at the end of the day, shall be
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
returned to a proper organic peroxide storage area. Under no circumstances should
material be returned to the original container.

SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Use adequate ventilation.
VENTILATION
Not generally required unless necessary to prevent respiratory irritation. If necessary
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
use NIOSH approved cartridge respirator with organic vapor cartridges. In case of
spill or leak of unknown concentration, use NIOSH approved supplied air respirator.
Safety goggles recommended, goggles with a face shield are preferred.
EYE PROTECTION
Protective gloves recommended, solvent resistant. (Neoprene, nitrile or
