| Spills & Disposal | Before dealing with spillage take necessary protective measures, inform others to keep at a safe distance and shut off all possible sources of ignition. Spillages will be very slippery. Contain large spills with an inert material wuch as sand, soil or vermiculite. Collect and seal in properly labelled containers for disposal. Small spills may be mopped up. If local regulations permit, wash down area with excess water and run to waste, diluting greatly with running water. Otherwise absorb on inert absorbent, transfer to container and arrange removal by disposals company. Wash site of spillage thoroughly with water. Ventilate area to dispel any residual vapour. |
| 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
| Precautions for Safe Handling | M |
| Conditions for Safe Storage | Store in cool, well ventilated place in original container. Store away from oxidising agents, acids and foodstuffs. Keep containers closed when not in use. Store out of reach of children. Keep away from naked flames and other sources of heat. Do not allow vapours to collect in enclosed spaces. Take precautions against static discharge. Do not mix with other chemicals. Clean up all spills and splashes promptly; avoid secondary accidents. |

| 2-Butoxyethanol | 121 | 25 | ||||
| Biological Limit Values | M |
| Engineering Controls | Maintain adequate ventilation at all times. In most circumstances natural ventilation systems are adequate unless the material is heated, reacted or otherwise changed in some type of chemical reaction, then the use of a local exhaust ventilation system is recommended. |
| Respiratory Protection | M |
| Eye Protection | M |
| Hand Protection | M |
| Personal Protective Equipment | Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Avoid breathing the vapour. Personal protection to be selected from those recommended below, as appropriate to mode of use, quantity handled and degree of hazard:- PVC or natural rubber. Chemical goggles or faceshield to protect eyes. Respirators in accordance with AS/NZS 1715/1716. The use of a P1 dust mask (disposable) or with replaceable filters is recommended. Filter capacity and respirator type depends on exposure levels and type of contaminant. If entering spaces where the airborne concentration of a contaminant is unknown then the use of a Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with positive pressure air supply complying with AS/NZS 1715 / 1716, or any other acceptable International Standard is recommended. Always maintain a high level of personal hygiene when using this product. That is wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking or using the toilet. |
