HAZARD CLASSIFICATION
HEALTH:
Not established FLAMMABILITY: Not established
REACTIVITY: Not established
Notes: Hazardous liquids retain their
hazardous characteristics and designation when absorbed
by
Zorbent.
HMIS
HAZARD CLASSIFICATION
HEALTH:
Not established
FLAMMABILITY:
Not established ( Fresh Zorbent is not
flammable, however, the absorbed spill if flammable retains flammable
characteristic when absorbed into Zorbent.)
REACTIVITY:
Not established.
EXTINGUISHING
MEDIA: For absorbed spill see spill liquid SDS sheet.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
Respiratory and Eye protection is required for fire fighting personal. For
absorbed spill see spilled liquid SDS sheet.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS (See
Notes this section) Keep Zorbent that is saturated with oil and flammable liquids
away from flames. For absorbed liquid spill see section;
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS on spilled
liquid SDS sheet.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: None
Notes:
Flammable liquids retain their flammable characteristics when absorbed by
Zorbent. Liquids absorbed into or on all loose absorbents, including Zorbent,
lower the flash point of the absorbed liquid (mixture). For example: Liquids
that resist ignition when spilled may be ignitable when absorbed into or on a
particle absorbent such as clay, diatomaceous earth,
Zorbent or similar loose absorbent. An example of such a liquid is waste auto
oil.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
ACCIDENTAL
RELEASE MEASURES: Sweep or vacuumed clean. Dispose of unused Zorbent as a
non-hazardous waste.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING
AND STORAGE: Keep dry. Repair all broken bags.
OTHER
PRECAUTIONS: Liquids that resist ignition when spilled sometimes will ignite
when picked up by Zorbent or any loose absorbent. For example, spilled motor
oil will not ignite with a common kitchen match but will ignite when picked
up by Zorbent or any other loose absorbent.(See Notes in Section 5 for details.)
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL
PROTECTION
ENGINEERING
CONTROLS: Ensure that eyewash stations are close to work stations.
VENTILATION
: Keep well ventilated.
RESPIRATORY
PROTECTION: Dust mask where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed
exposure limits.
EYE
PROTECTION: As a minimum, safety glasses with side shields.
SKIN
PROTECTION: Gloves (optional).
OTHER
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT: None
WORK
HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Follow good housekeeping practices.
