            reports of symptoms from ingestion.

Skin contact:  There are no known effects resulting from skin contact,
               however as with any chemical, any skin exposure should be
               minimized.

Eye contact:  No known effects, however as with any chemical, eye contact
              should always be avoided.  

Chronic exposure:  No information found.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures


Spill Response:  Take up and containerize for proper disposal in some
                 suitable absorbant material such as SPI #05161-SA
                 Polywipers and then dispose according to local regulations
                 and institutional policies.  Refer to regulatory
                 information for reportable quantity and other regulatory
                 data.



Section 7: Handling and Storage


Handling and Storage:  Do not store neat heat of flame or other source
                       of ignition (e.g.Electrical wiring or motors).

Other:  Keep container tightly closed.  Store in cool dry well-ventilated
        area.  Discard when expiration date passes following recommended
        procedures as dictated by local and institutional regulations.

Handling and Storage:  Keep container closed.  Store in a cool area away
                       from ignition source and oxidizers.  Do not get in
                       eyes.  Avoid, prolonged, or repeated, skin contact.

Engineering Controls/Personal Protection:  None available.

Work/Hygienic practices:  Wash thoroughly after handling.  Do not take
                          internally.  Eye wash, safety equipment, and
                          absorbant materials should be readily available.



Section 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection


Airborne Exposure Limits:  None established

Ventilation System:  In general, dilution ventilation is a satisfactory 
                     health hazard control for this substance.  However,
                     if conditions of use create discomfort to the worker,
                     a local exhaust system should be considered.  Use
                     explosion proof equipment.

Personal Respirator (NIOSH Approved):  Not expected to require personal
                                       respirator usage.

Skin Protection:  Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.

Eye Protection:  Use chemical safety goggles.  Maintain eye wash fountain
                 and quick-drench facilities in work area.
