SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Safety Handling Precautions

PPE Required:

  • Gloves (nitrile or PVC)

  • Safety goggles or face shield

  • Protective clothing if bulk handling or spraying

Handling Guidelines:

  • Avoid inhalation of aerosols when spray-applying

  • Clean spills immediately with absorbent material; dispose in accordance with regulations

  • Maintain clean drum top and equipment to prevent contamination

Storage Measures:

  • Keep container closed and stored away from freezing

  • Gently agitate or roll container before use to re‑disperse settled polymer

  • Avoid contact with strong oxidizers and acids

Hygiene Practices:

  • Wash hands after handling

  • Do not eat, drink, or smoke while working

  • Clean contact surfaces to prevent residues

First Aid Measures

  • Inhalation: Provide fresh air; seek medical attention if respiratory discomfort occurs

  • Skin Contact: Wash area with soap and water; if irritation persists, consult a physician

  • Eye Contact: Rinse with water for at least 15 minutes; obtain medical advice if irritation continues

  • Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water; if significant quantities ingested, contact medical services

Firefighting Measures

  • Fire Hazards: Not combustible; water-based emulsion

  • Extinguishing Media: Use foam, dry chemical, COâ‚‚, or water spray based on surrounding fire

  • Special Precautions: Firefighters should wear standard protective equipment and SCBA

Decomposition Products: May emit carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and small amounts of VOCs when exposed to extreme heat
