5.2 EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Ordinarycombustible material. Use fire extinguishers with class A extinguishing agents (e.g., water, foam).
5.3 PROTECTION OF FIRE FIGHTERS
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear full protective equipment (Bunker Gear) and a self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA).
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Not applicable. None inherent in this product.
Note: See STABILITY AND REACTIVITY (SECTION 10) for hazardous combustion and thermal decomposition
information.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Accidental Release Measures:Not applicable.
In the event of a release of this material, the user should determine if the release qualifies as reportable according to
local, state, and federal regulations.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 HANDLING
Avoid breathing of dust created by cutting, sanding, grinding or machining. For industrial or professional use only. Damaged product
can break apart during use and cause serious injury to face or eyes. Check product for damage such as cracks or nicks prior to use.
Replace if damaged. Always wear eye and face protection when working at sanding or grinding operations or when near such
operations. Sparks and particles flying from the product during sanding or grinding can cause injury and fire.
7.2 STORAGE
Store in a cool, dry place.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
8.1 ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use with appropriate local exhaust ventilation. Provide appropriate local exhaust for cutting, grinding, sanding or machining. Use
general dilution ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne exposures to below Occupational Exposure Limits
and/or control dust, fume, or airborne particles. If ventilation is not adequate, use respiratory protection equipment.
8.2 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
8.2.1 Eye/Face Protection
Avoid eye contact. To minimize the risk of injury to face and eyes, always wear eye and face protection when working at sanding or
grinding operations or when near such operations.

8.2.2 Skin Protection
Avoid skin contact. Wear appropriate gloves to minimize risk of injury to skin from contact with dust or physical abrasion from
grinding or sanding.

8.2.3 Respiratory Protection
Avoid breathing of dust created by sanding, grinding or machining. Assess exposure concentrations of all materials involved in the
work process. Consider material being abraded when determining the appropriate resipratory protection. Select and use appropriate
respirators to prevent inhalation overexposure.

8.2.4 Prevention of Swallowing
Not applicable. Wash hands after handling and before eating. Not an expected route of exposure.
