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.

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
NOTE: This product as supplied is a whole bead resin and may produce slight eye irritation. However, the ground form of
this resin should be treated as a severe eye irritant. Worker exposure to ground resins can be controlled with local exhaust
ventilation at the point of dust generation, or use of suitable personal protective equipment (dust/mist air-purifying respirator
and safety goggles). Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles; beads may fracture. If frozen, thaw at room temperature.
Storage
Further information:
CAUTION: Do not pack column with dry ion exchange resins. Dry beads expand when wetted; this expansion can cause
glass column to shatter.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION


Exposure limit(s)
Exposure limits are listed below, if they exist.
Eye protection:Use safety glasses with side shields (ANSI Z87.1or approved equivalent).
Hand protection:Cotton or canvas gloves.
Respiratory protection:No personal respiratory protective equipment normally required.
Protective measures:Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility.

Engineering measures:None required under normal operating conditions.
