SDS

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. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. 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. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.
Environmental precautions
7. Handling and storage
Do not breathe mist or vapor. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Avoid prolonged
exposure. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Observe
good industrial hygiene practices.
Precautions for safe handling
Store locked up. Store in original tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials
(see Section 10 of the SDS).

No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).
Biological limit values
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.
Appropriate engineering
controls
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) and a face shield.
Eye/face protection
Skin protection
Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Hand protection
Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing.
Other
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
Respiratory protection
Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.
