6) Accidental release measures

Personal precautions : No special precautions required

Environmental precautions : Do not contaminate water.

Method for cleaning up : Do not flush with water. Dam up. Soak up with inert absorbent material. If liquid
has been split in large quantities clean up by scoop or vacuum. Keep in suitable
and closed container for disposal. After cleaning flush away traces with water.

7) Handling and storage

Handling : Avoid contact with eyes, skin & clothing. Whwn preparing the working solution ensure there is
adequate ventilation. Do not breath vapours or spray mist. When using do not smoke.
0
Storage conditions : Keep in dry, cool place (0-30 C). Keep away fro heat and sources of ignition.
Freezing will affect the physical condition and may damage the material.

8) Exposure controls / personal protection

Engineering measures to reduce Exposure : Use local exhaust if misting occurs. Natural Ventilation is
adequate in absence of mist.

Eye protection : Safety glasses with side shields. Do not wear contact lens.

Hand protection : Regular gloves.

Hygiene measures : Do not eat, drink, or smoke at work. Wash hands before breaks and at end of work.
Keep away from food and drink stuff.

Respiratory protection : In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.

Skin & Body Protection : Chemical resistant apron or protective suit if splashing or repeated contact with
. solution is likely.
