6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Wear protective equipment. Keep unprotected persons away.
Environmental precautions
  • Prevent seepage into sewage system, workpits and cellars.
  • Inform respective authorities in case of seepage into water course or sewage system.
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.
  • Do not flush with water or aqueous cleansing agents

8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Exposure Standards

MaterialTWA ppmTWA mg/m³STEL ppmSTEL mg/m³
toluene50 ppm191 mg/m³150 ppm574 mg/m³
Engineering controls
  • Store locked up.
  • Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed.
  • Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep cool.

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.
  • 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.
  • Material of gloves.
  • The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. As the product is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application.
  • Penetration time of glove material.
  • The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
Body protection
  • 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 skin.
  • Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.
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.
