ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES
In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable
regulations. US regulations require reporting releases of this material to the environment which exceed the
applicable reportable quantity or oil spills which could reach any waterway including intermittent dry creeks. The
National Response Center can be reached at [phone].
PROTECTIVE MEASURES
Avoid contact with spilled material. See Section 5 for fire fighting information. See the Hazard Identification
Section for Significant Hazards. See Section 4 for First Aid Advice. See Section 8 for advice on the minimum
requirements for personal protective equipment. Additional protective measures may be necessary, depending
on the specific circumstances and/or the expert judgment of the emergency responders.
SPILL MANAGEMENT
Land Spill: Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Recover by pumping or with suitable absorbent.
Water Spill: Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Confine the spill immediately with booms. Warn other
shipping. Remove from the surface by skimming or with suitable absorbents. Seek the advice of a specialist
before using dispersants.
Water spill and land spill recommendations are based on the most likely spill scenario for this material; however,
geographic conditions, wind, temperature, (and in the case of a water spill) wave and current direction and
speed may greatly influence the appropriate action to be taken. For this reason, local experts should be
consulted. Note: Local regulations may prescribe or limit action to be taken.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Large Spills: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later recovery and disposal. Prevent entry into waterways,
sewers, basements or confined areas.
SECTION 7
HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING
Avoid contact with used product. Prevent small spills and leakage to avoid slip hazard. Material can
accumulate static charges which may cause an electrical spark (ignition source). When the material is handled
in bulk, an electrical spark could ignite any flammable vapors from liquids or residues that may be present (e.g.,
during switch-loading operations). Use proper bonding and/or ground procedures. However, bonding and
grounds may not eliminate the hazard from static accumulation. Consult local applicable standards for
guidance. Additional references include American Petroleum Institute 2003 (Protection Against Ignitions Arising
out of Static, Lightning and Stray Currents) or National Fire Protection Agency 77 (Recommended Practice on
Static Electricity) or CENELEC CLC/TR 50404 (Electrostatics - Code of practice for the avoidance of hazards
due to static electricity).
Static Accumulator: This material is a static accumulator.
STORAGE
The container choice, for example storage vessel, may effect static accumulation and dissipation. Do not store
in open or unlabelled containers. Keep away from incompatible materials.
