Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures
Personal Precautions Use reasonable personal protective equipment as required to prevent contact with eyes or
skin and to avoid breathing dust. Remove ignition sources prior to clean-up.
Environmental precautions Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. Do not flush into
surface water or sanitary sewer system. See Section 12 for additional ecological
information.
Methods for containment Prevent further leakage or spillage, if safe to do so.
Methods for clean-up Use reasonable personal protective equipment as required. Cover powder spill with plastic
sheet or tarp to minimize spreading and keep powder dry. Take up mechanically, placing
in appropriate containers for disposal. Avoid creating dust. Clean contaminated surface
thoroughly. Soak up excess with inert absorbent material.
Safe Handling Read all safety instructions before handling. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in
confined areas. Use personal protective equipment as required. Wash face, hands and any
exposed skin thoroughly after handling. Do not eat, drink or smoke when handling this product.
Avoid breathing dusts. Use only outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
Storage Conditions Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well- ventilated place. Keep away from food, drink and
animal feed. Keep out of the reach of children.
Incompatible materials Avoid strong acids or alkali, or other reactive substances.
