6. Accidental release measures

Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Cover with plastic sheet to prevent spreading. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. Following product recovery, flush area with water.

Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination.

Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.Environmental precautions

7. Handling and storage

Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Provide adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid prolonged exposure. Do not taste or swallow. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Should be handled in closed systems, if possible. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Observe good industrial hygiene practices.

No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).Biological limit values

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. Eye wash facilities and emergency shower must be available when handling this product.

Appropriate engineering controls

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment

Chemical respirator with organic vapor cartridge and full facepiece.Eye/face protection

Skin protection

Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Suitable gloves can be recommended by the glove supplier.

Hand protection

Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. Use of an impervious apron is recommended.Other
