could cause flammable gases or vapors in the spill area to burn or explode. Refer to other sections of this SDS for
information regarding physical and health hazards, respiratory protection, ventilation, and personal protective equipment.
6.2. Environmental precautions
Avoid release to the environment.
6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
If possible, seal leaking container. Place leaking containers in a well-ventilated area, preferably an operating exhaust hood, or
if necessary outdoors on an impermeable surface until appropriate packaging for the leaking container or its contents is
available. Contain spill. Cover spill area with a fire-extinguishing foam. An appropriate aqueous film forming foam
(AFFF) is recommended. 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 using non-sparking tools. Place in a metal 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.

8.2. Exposure controls
8.2.1. Engineering controls
Do not remain in area where available oxygen may be reduced. 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.
