Personal Precautions: Avoid direct contact; ventilate area; keep unauthorized persons away
Protective Equipment: Gloves, goggles, dust mask or respirator if airborne resin particles form
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, sewers, surface waters
Clean-up Methods: Sweep up solids, shovel into containers for disposal; for molten material, allow to cool and solidify before handling; wash residues with detergent and water
Spill Response: Use sand or inert material to absorb spill; avoid generating dust
Handling: Minimize dust formation; avoid breathing dust or fumes; use local exhaust for heated processes; wash hands thoroughly after handling
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from heat, sparks, and open flames; keep container tightly closed
