Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency personnel
Do not touch or walk through spilt material. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as
specified in Section 8. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Shut off all ignition
sources.
Environmental precautions
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:
Exposure to the spilled material may be severely irritating or toxic. Follow personal protective equipment recommendations
found in Section 8 of this SDS. Personal protective equipment needs must be evaluated based on information provided on this
sheet and the special circumstances created by the spill including: the material spilled, the quantity of the spill, the area in
which the spill occurred, and the expertise of employees in the area responding to the spill. Never exceed any occupational
exposure limits.
Prevent the spread of any spill to minimize harm to human health and the environment if safe to do so. Wear complete and
proper personal protective equipment following the recommendation of Section 8 at a minimum. Dike with suitable absorbent
material like granulated clay. Gather and store in a sealed container pending a waste disposal evaluation. Shut off ignition
sources; including electrical equipment and flames.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Precautions for safe handling
Protective measures, advice on general occupational hygiene and conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
No special measures required. It is not considered a hazardous material in most industrial operations. Protect containers from
physical damage. Sources of ignition such as smoking and open flames prohibited where this product is handled.
Store in a tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well ventilated area away from sources of heat, moisture and incompatible
substances. The suitable storage temperature is between 15-30
o
C temperatures. It is generally recommended that
temperatures not exceeding 40
o
C.
Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (vapors, liquid).
