6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES 

Personal precautions:     Use protective gloves (see section 8).

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling:  When using, do not eat, drink, or smoke. Avoid inhalation of fumes/vapors from hot rubbers, compounds and Vulcanizate. Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin. Wear gloves and wash hands after handling.

Storage: Store in a clean, dry, dark area to maintain product quality. Keep in original containers or use black covers to protect from artificial or natural light. Outdoor storage should be avoided; the preferred storage temperature is 15-25C. WA Class Ill B Storage, Flashpoint >20

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS PERSONAL PROTECTION

Exposure Limit Values:      Not defined for this material

Engineering controls:    A ventilation system should be installed where processing at high temperatures e.g., vulcanization, is carried out and where bales are being ground or machined. Local exhaust ventilations recommended during all hot processing operations.

Personal protection

General: General Hygiene considerations are appropriate when used as recommended.
The following precautions are recognized as common good industrial hygiene practice. Emergency conditions may require additional precautions.               

 Respiratory:    Not normally required at ambient temperatures. Avoid inhalation of fumes/vapors from hot rubbers, 

 compounds and Vulcanizate. If processing in area where ventilation is inadequate or ignition has occurred, wear a NIOSH -approved organic vapor respirator.

Eyes & Skin:   Wear heat resistant gloves, arm protection and face shield when working
with hot material. Avoid contact with eyes and skin and wash thoroughly after handling and before eating or drinking.
