Inform respective authorities in case of seepage into water course or sewage system.
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).
Dispose contaminated material as waste according to item 13.
Ensure adequate ventilation.

Engineering controls
Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed.
Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work.
Personal protective equipment
Eye and face protection
Tightly sealed goggles
Skin protection
The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation.
Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/ the chemical mixture.
Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation
Body protection
As above
Respiratory protection
In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use respiratory protective device that is independent of circulating air.
