6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions Appropriate protective equipment must be worn when handling a spill of this material. See SECTION 8, Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, for recommendations. If exposed to material during clean-up operations, see SECTION 4, First Aid Measures, for actions to follow. Environmental precautions WARNING: KEEP SPILLS OF PRODUCT AS SUPPLIED OUT OF MUNICIPAL SEWERS AND OPEN BODIES OF WATER. DO NOT DISCHARGE CLEANING RUNOFFS DIRECTLY TO OPEN BODIES OF WATER. Methods for cleaning up Keep spectators away. Floor may be slippery; use care to avoid falling. Transfer spilled material to suitable containers for recovery or disposal.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles; beads may fracture. If frozen, thaw at room temperature. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. See SECTION 8, Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, prior to handling. Do not get in eyes. This material is a severe irritant.

Storage
