6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions,
protective equipment and
emergency procedures
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep out of
low areas. Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area).
Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not breathe mist or vapor.
Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective
clothing. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Use appropriate containment to avoid
environmental contamination. Transfer by mechanical means such as vacuum truck to a salvage
tank or other suitable container for recovery or safe disposal. Local authorities should be advised if
significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Take
precautionary measures against static discharge. Use only non-sparking tools. Keep combustibles
(wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material. This product is miscible in water.
Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is
possible. Cover with plastic sheet to prevent spreading. Use a non-combustible material like
vermiculite, sand or earth to soak up the product and place into a container for later disposal.
Following product recovery, flush area with water.
Small Spills: Absorb with earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers
for later disposal. Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination.
Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas.
Environmental precautions
Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Use appropriate containment to
avoid environmental contamination.
7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read
and understood. Do not handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of
ignition. Protect material from direct sunlight. Explosion-proof general and local exhaust ventilation.
Minimize fire risks from flammable and combustible materials (including combustible dust and
static accumulating liquids) or dangerous reactions with incompatible materials. Handling
operations that can promote accumulation of static charges include but are not limited to: mixing,
filtering, pumping at high flow rates, splash filling, creating mists or sprays, tank and container
filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, vacuum truck operations. Take
precautionary measures against static discharges. Use non-sparking tools and explosion-proof
equipment. Do not breathe mist or vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not taste
or swallow. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Pregnant or breastfeeding women must not
handle this product. Should be handled in closed systems, if possible. Wear appropriate personal
protective equipment. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Observe good industrial hygiene
practices. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. For product usage instructions, please see
the product label.
Conditions for safe storage,
including any incompatibilities
Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Eliminate sources of ignition. Avoid spark
promoters. These alone may be insufficient to remove static electricity. Store in a cool, dry place
out of direct sunlight. Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. Keep in an
area equipped with sprinklers. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the
SDS).
