6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Wear protective equipment. Keep unprotected persons away.

Environmental precautions

• Dilute with plenty of water.
• Do not allow to enter sewers/surface or ground water.

Methods and materials for containment and clean up

• Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand, diatomite, acid binders, universal binders, sawdust).
• Ensure adequate ventilation.
• Do not flush with water or aqueous cleansing agents.

7. Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling

• Ensure good ventilation/exhaustion at the workplace.
• Prevent formation of aerosols.
• Keep ignition sources away - Do not smoke.
• Protect from heat.
• Protect against electrostatic charges.

Conditions for safe storage

• Store in a cool location.
• Keep container tightly sealed.
• Store in cool, dry conditions in well sealed receptacles.
• Protect from heat and direct sunlight.

8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Exposure Standards

Engineering controls

• Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed.
• immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing.
• Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work.
• Avoid contact with the eyes.
• Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.

Personal protective equipment

Eye and face protection

Tightly sealed goggles.

Skin protection

Wear protective gloves. The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/the substance/the preparation. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation. The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.

Body protection

Wear protective clothing.

Respiratory protection

In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use self-contained respiratory protective device.
