Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Keep
combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material. Stop the flow of material, if this is
without risk. Dike far ahead of spill for later disposal. Shovel up and place in a container for
salvage or disposal. Final cleaning may require use of steam, solvents or detergents. Dispose of
saturated absorbent or cleaning materials appropriately, since spontaneous heating may occur.
Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. For waste disposal, see
section 13 of the SDS.
Environmental precautions
Avoid release to the environment. Contact local authorities in case of spillage to drain/aquatic
environment. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not contaminate water. Avoid
discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.
7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Pressurized container: Do not pierce or burn, even after use. Do not use if spray nozzle is missing
or defective. Do not spray on a naked flame or any other incandescent material. Do not smoke
while using or until sprayed surface is thoroughly dry. Do not cut, weld, solder, drill, grind, or
expose containers to heat, flame, sparks, or other sources of ignition. Avoid breathing vapor. Avoid
contact with skin. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid contact with clothing. Use only in well-ventilated
areas. When heated to temperature above 300°F/150°C in the presence of air, product may form
formaldehyde vapors. When exposed to water or humid air, product evolves acetic acid (HOAc).
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Observe
good industrial hygiene practices. Avoid release to the environment. Do not empty into drains. For
product usage instructions, please see the product label.
Conditions for safe storage,
including any incompatibilities
Level 1 Aerosol.
Keep container closed and store away from water or moisture. Contents under pressure. Do not
expose to heat or store at temperatures above 120°F/49°C as can may burst. Do not puncture,
incinerate or crush. Do not handle or store near an open flame, heat or other sources of ignition.
Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Store in a well-ventilated place. Store away from
incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS). Keep out of the reach of children.

Exposure guidelines
Occupational Exposure Limits are not relevant to the current physical form of the product.
Acetic acid is formed upon contact with water or humid air. Provide adequate ventilation to control
exposures within guidelines of OSHA PEL: TWA 10 ppm and ACGIH TLV: TWA 10 ppm, STEL 15
ppm.
Appropriate engineering
controls
Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates
should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation,
or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If
exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Provide
eyewash station.
