6. Accidental Release Measures
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep out of
low areas. 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. Ensure adequate ventilation. Local authorities should be advised if significant
spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
Personal precautions,
protective equipment and
emergency procedures
Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Should not be released into the environment. Prevent entry
into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas.
Large Spills: 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.

remove residual contamination.
Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
