SECTION - 10 Handling
Precautions
Provide dilution ventilation to control
vapor and\or mist level. When misting may occur in the work
area, a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator may be required. Use
a respirator approved for the material and level of
exposure. A comprehensive respiratory protection program is
needed when respirators must be used.
Eye wash fountains
in the work place are STRONGLY recommended.
Chemical
resistant gloves, indirect ventilation goggles,
body-protective clothing, and chemical resistant safety
shoes are
required. If splashing can occur, a face shield
is advisable.
SECTION 11 - Satisfactory
Materials of Construction

tested for Materials of Construction data. This Material
Safety Data Sheet will be updated after this product is
tested.
SECTION 12 - Spill, Leak, and
Disposal Procedures
SPILL AND LEAK RESPONSE
GUIDELINES:
Important: Before responding to a spill or
leak of this product, review each section of this MSDS.
Follow the recommendations given in the Handling Precautions
sections. Check the Fire and Explosion Data section to
determine if the use of non-sparking tools is merited.
Insure that spilled or leaked product does not come into
contact with materials listed as incompatible. If irritating
fumes are present, consider evacuation of affected areas.
Emergency Response Assistance: Emergency technical
assistance is available at any time from Winston Company,
Inc., by calling (800) 331-9099.
Initially minimize
area affected by the spill or leak. Block any potential
routes to water systems (e.g., sewers, streams, lakes,
etc.). Based on the product's toxicological and chemical
properties, and on the size and location of the spill or
leak, assess the impact on contaminated environments (e.g.
water systems, ground, air equipment, etc.). There are no
methods available to completely eliminate any toxicity this
product may have on aquatic environments. Minimize adverse
effects on these environments. Winston Company, Inc. can be
contacted for technical assistance. Determine if federal,
state, and/or local release notification is required (see
Regulatory Information section of this MSDS). Recover as
much of the pure product as possible into appropriate
containers. Later, determine if this recovered product can
be used for its intended purpose. Address clean-up of
contaminated environments. Spill or leak residuals may have
to be collected and disposed of. Clay, soil, or commercially
available absorbents may be used to recover any material
that can not readily be recovered as pure product. Flushing
residual material to an industrial sewer, if present at the
site of a spill or leak incident, may be acceptable if
authorized approval is obtained. If product and/or
spill/leak residuals are flushed to an industrial sewer,
insure that they do not come into contact with incompatible
materials.
DISPOSAL GUIDELINES
Note: Follow
federal, state, and local regulations governing the disposal
of waste materials.
Contaminated Materials: Determine
if waste containing this product can be handled by available
industrial effluent system or other on-site waste management
unit. If off-site management is required, contact a company
experienced in industrial waste management.
