SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Evacuate area. Ventilate the area with fresh air. For large spill, or spills in confined spaces, provide mechanical ventilation
to disperse or exhaust vapors, in accordance with good industrial hygiene practice.
6.2. Environmental precautions
Avoid release to the environment. For larger spills, cover drains and build dikes to prevent entry into sewer systems or
bodies of water.
6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Contain spill. Working from around the edges of the spill inward, cover with bentonite, vermiculite, or commercially
available inorganic absorbent material. Mix in sufficient absorbent until it appears dry. Remember, adding an absorbent
material does not remove a physical, health, or environmental hazard. Collect as much of the spilled material as possible.
Place in a closed container approved for transportation by appropriate authorities. Clean up residue with an appropriate
solvent selected by a qualified and authorized person. Ventilate the area with fresh air. Read and follow safety precautions
on the solvent label and SDS. Seal the container. Dispose of collected material as soon as possible in accordance with
applicable local/regional/national/international regulations.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Keep out of reach of children. Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using
this product. Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid release to the environment. Avoid contact with oxidizing agents
(eg. chlorine, chromic acid etc.) Vapors may travel long distances along the ground or floor to an ignition source and flash
back.
7.2. Conditions for safe storage including any incompatibilities
Store away from acids. Store away from strong bases. Store away from oxidizing agents.
SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection
8.1. Control parameters
Occupational exposure limits
No occupational exposure limit values exist for any of the components listed in Section 3 of this SDS.
8.2. Exposure controls
8.2.1. Engineering controls
Use general dilution ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne exposures to below relevant Exposure
Limits and/or control dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. If ventilation is not adequate, use respiratory protection equipment.
8.2.2. Personal protective equipment (PPE)
Eye/face protection
None required.
Skin/hand protection
Select and use gloves and/or protective clothing approved to relevant local standards to prevent skin contact based on the
results of an exposure assessment. Selection should be based on use factors such as exposure levels, concentration of the
substance or mixture, frequency and duration, physical challenges such as temperature extremes, and other use conditions.
