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. Avoid inhalation of vapors
and spray mists. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate
protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation. 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). Keep
combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material. This material is classified as a
water pollutant under the Clean Water Act and should be prevented from contaminating soil or
from entering sewage and drainage systems which lead to waterways.
Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Use water spray to reduce vapors or
divert vapor cloud drift. 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.
Environmental precautions
Avoid release to the environment. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Avoid
discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Inform appropriate managerial or
supervisory personnel of all environmental releases.
7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. When using do not smoke.
Avoid breathing vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated
contact with skin. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Wear appropriate personal
protective equipment. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Avoid release to the environment.
Observe good industrial hygiene practices. For product usage instructions, please see the product
label.
Conditions for safe storage,
including any incompatibilities
Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Store
in original tightly closed container. Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep in an area equipped with
sprinklers. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS).
8. Exposure controls/personal protection
Occupational exposure limits
US. NIOSH: Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards
ValueComponents Type
TWA 100 mg/m3Distillates (petroleum),
hydrotreated light (CAS
64742-47-8)
US. AIHA Workplace Environmental Exposure Level (WEEL) Guides
ValueComponents Type
TWA 165.5 mg/m3d-Limonene (CAS
5989-27-5)
30 ppm
Biological limit values
No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).
Appropriate engineering
controls
Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates
should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation,
or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If
exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Eye
wash facilities and emergency shower must be available when handling this product.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Skin protection
Hand protection
Wear protective gloves such as: Nitrile. Neoprene.
Other
Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing.
