6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions,
protective equipment and
emergency procedures
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep out of low areas. Keep people away from and upwind of
spill/leak. Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator if there is a risk of exposure to dust/fume at
levels exceeding the exposure limits. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during
clean-up. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate
protective clothing. Avoid inhalation of dust from the spilled material. 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
Absorb spillage to prevent material damage. If sweeping of a contaminated area is necessary use
a dust suppressant agent which does not react with the product. Collect dust using a vacuum
cleaner equipped with HEPA filter. Avoid dust formation. Minimize dust generation and
accumulation. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. Following
product recovery, flush area with water. Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable
container for disposal. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Environmental precautions
Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.
7. Handling and Storage

Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places
where dust is formed. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing dust. Avoid prolonged
exposure. Avoid contact with clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory
equipment. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Observe good industrial hygiene
practices. Practice good housekeeping. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not get in eyes, on
skin or on clothing. Use good industrial hygiene practices in handling this material. Keep container
tightly closed.
Conditions for safe storage,
including any incompatibilities
