 7. Handling and Storage

 Handle as an irritant. Do not get into eyes. Avoid prolonged/repeated skin contact. Do not inhale vapors/mists. Do not ingest. Store away from sources of ignition. Spilled product creates very slippery conditions, especially in contact with water. Avoid freezing which may cause separation and increases in viscosity. Do not store above 85 deg. F for long periods of time. Several washes and/or the use of detergents may be necessary to completely clean any spills
