Place contaminated material in suitable container for disposal. Appropriate safety measures and protective equipment should be used. Stop material from contaminating soil or from entering sewers or bodies of water.

Waste Disposal Method:

Stop discharge, if safe to do so. Use proper protective equipment. Use non-sparking tools and/or explosion-proof equipment. Stop ignition sources. Cover sills with absorbant clay or sawdust and place in closed chemical waste containers. Dispose of in accordance with all local, state and federal regulations. 

Precautions to be Taken in Storing
and Handling:

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, ignition sources, and direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly closed.
