| Special Information: | Use protective clothing and breathing equipment appropriate for the surrounding fire. |
6) Accidental Release Measures:
If its use requires manual handling, wear long sleeves and close-weave cotton
gloves with tight-fitting wristlets.
If dusty conditions prevail, collects in an empty container with no dispersion,
and wipe off, suck up under the place without a wind. Watch your step.
7) Handling and Storage:
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Take precautions a static electric spark. Isolate from incompatible substances. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for this product.
8) Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits:
Amorphous Silica:
OSHA Silica gel - PEL - 6mg/m3
ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV): 10 mg/m3; TWA: inhalable particulate: 3 mg/m3 (TWA) respirable particulate
Lithium Chloride:
No OSHA vacated PELs are listed for this chemical
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Aitborne exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators:
If its use requires manual handling, wear log sleeves and close-weave cotton gloves with tight-fitting wristlets. If dusty conditions prevail, use of an approved NIOSH / MSHA dust respirator is recommended. Wear googles if dust causes eye discomfort.
Skin Protection:
Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
