For emergency responders
Use personal protection recommended in Section 8.
Environmental precautions
Do not allow into any sewer, on the ground or into any body of water. If the product contaminates lakes, rivers or sewage, inform
appropriate authorities in accordance with local regulations. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Local authorities
should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for containment
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Methods for cleaning up
Dispose of waste product or used containers according to local regulations. Clean with detergents. Avoid solvent cleaners. Dam
up. Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust). Pick up and transfer to
properly labeled containers. Clean contaminated surface thoroughly. Take up mechanically, placing in appropriate containers for
disposal.
Section 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling
Advice on safe handling
Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive concentrations of vapor in air and avoid vapor concentration higher than the
occupational exposure limits. Operators should wear anti-static footwear and clothing and floors should be of the conducting type.
Use personal protection recommended in Section 8. Never use pressure to empty container. Comply with the health and safety at
work laws. Prevent product from entering drains. Vapors are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Vapors may form
explosive mixtures with air. Use only with adequate ventilation. Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Use only in
well-ventilated areas. Keep away from heat, sparks, flame and other sources of ignition (i.e., pilot lights, electric motors and static
electricity). Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. All
equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Risk of self-ignition of used cleaning rags, paper wipes etc.
Contaminated materials should be soaked in water and placed in a closed metal container before disposal.
General Hygiene Considerations
When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Storage Conditions
Keep/store only in original container. Store in accordance with local regulations. Keep unauthorized personnel away. Containers
that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and
well-ventilated place. Keep tightly closed in a dry and cool place.
Incompatible materials
Strong oxidizing agents.
