Spill and Leak Procedures. : Move containers from spill area. Approach release from upwind. Prevent entry intosewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Vacuum or sweep up material andplace in a designated, labeled waste container.

No

It is recommended to store ion exchange resins at temperatures above the freezing pointof water, under roof, in dry conditions, without exposure to direct sunlight. Ion exchangeresins should not be stored in direct sunlight. If the resin should become frozen, the resinshould not be mechanically handled and should be left to thaw out gradually at ambienttemperature. It must be completely thawed before handling or use. No attempt should bemade to accelarate the thawing process.Store in accordance with local regulations. Storein original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area,away from incompatible materials (see section 10) and food and drink. Keep containertightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must becarefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeledcontainers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.

Put on appropriate personal protection equipment. Eating, drinking and smoking shouldbe prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Workersshould wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Do not ingest. Avoidcontact with eyes, skin and clothing. Keep in the original container or an approvedalternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Emptycontainers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container.
