Steps to be taken in Case Stearic Acid is Released or Spilled:
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
Sweep up and containerize for reclamation or disposal. Vacuuming or wet sweeping may be used to avoid dust dispersal. Do not let product enter drains. Small amounts of residue may be flushed to sewer with plenty of water.

Keep Stearic Acid in a well closed container stored under cold to warm conditions, 2 to 40 C, (36 to 104F) in a ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
