6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep out of
protective equipment and low areas. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not touch
emergency procedures damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ensure
adequate ventilation. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be
contained.
Methods and materials for Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is
containment and cleaning up possible. Cover with plastic sheet to prevent spreading. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth
and place into containers. Use water spray to reduce vapors or divert vapor cloud drift. Prevent
entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. Following product recovery, flush area
with water.

Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to
remove residual contamination.

Never return spills to original containers for re-use.

Environmental precautions Avoid release to the environment. Contact local authorities in case of spillage to drain/aquatic
environment. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not contaminate water. Avoid
discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.

7. Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling Do not get this material in contact with eyes. Avoid contact with skin. Avoid prolonged exposure.
Avoid contact with clothing. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Avoid release to the environment. Do not
empty into drains.
