Steps to Be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled
 · Use common industrial practices to clean up.

Waste Disposal Method
 ·If unused, no special precautions are necessary.  If used, dispose of in accordance with federal, state and local regulations.

In certain types of cleanup applications the nature of the material recovered will classify the resulting spent material as a hazardous component.  In such instances the material should be disposed of via an approved hazardous waste disposal service and the appropriate manifesting obtained.

Precautions to Be taken in Handling and Storing:
 ·Avoid generating dust when handling loose material.

Other Precautions
 ·None

Respiratory Protection (Specify Type)
· Common dust mask is a good industrial practice but is not necessary.
