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 binde3rs, universal binders, sawdust). Use neutralizing agent. Dispose of contaminated material as waste according to item 13. Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not flush with water or aqueous cleansing agent.

7. Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling

Ensure good ventilation/exhaustion at the workplace. Open and handle receptacle with care. Prevent formation of aerosols. Keep ignition sources away - Do not smoke. Protect from heat. Protect against electrostatic charges. Keep respiratory protective device available.

Conditions for safe storage

Store in a cool location. Keep receptacle 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.
• Store protective clothing separately.
• Avoid contact with the eyes.
• Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.

Personal protective equipment

Eye and face protection

Tightly sealed goggles

Skin protection

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.

Body protection

Not available

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.

Other adverse effects

• Water hazard class 3 (Self-assessment): extremely hazardous for water
• Do not allow product to reach ground water, water course or sewage system, even in small quantities.
• Must not reach bodies of water or drainage ditch undiluted or unneutralized.
• Danger to drinking water if even extremely small quantities leak into the ground.
• Rinse off of bigger amounts into drains or the aquatic environment may lead to decreased pH-values. A low pHvalue harms aquatic organisms. In the dilution of the use-level the pH-value is considerably increased, so that
• after the use of the product the aqueous waste, emptied into drains, is only low water-dangerous.
