Section 6. Accidental release measures
Environmental precautions
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion-proof equipment. Approach release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers,
water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash spillages into an effluent treatment
plant or proceed as follows. Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible,
absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and place in
container for disposal according to local regulations (see Section 13). Dispose of via a
licensed waste disposal contractor. Contaminated absorbent material may pose the
same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see Section 1 for emergency contact
information and Section 13 for waste disposal.
:
Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Large spill
:
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion-proof equipment. Dilute with water and mop up if water-soluble. Alternatively,
or if water-insoluble, absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste
disposal container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

Section 7. Handling and storage
Advice on general
occupational hygiene
Conditions for safe storage,
including any
incompatibilities
Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is
handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating,
drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before
entering eating areas. See also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene
measures.
Store in accordance with local regulations. Store away from direct sunlight in a dry, cool
and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10) and food
and drink. Protect from sunlight. Store locked up. Eliminate all ignition sources. Use
appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.

Protective measures
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Pressurized
container: protect from sunlight and do not expose to temperatures exceeding 50°C. Do
not pierce or burn, even after use. Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before
use. Avoid exposure during pregnancy. Do not handle until all safety precautions have
been read and understood. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not breathe
vapor or mist. Do not swallow. Avoid breathing gas. Use only with adequate ventilation.
Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Store and use away from
heat, sparks, open flame or any other ignition source. Use explosion-proof electrical
(ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment. Use only non-sparking tools.
Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous.
