Special protective equipment Wear NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus. Use water-spray to
keep containers cool, and to knock down vapors or gases.

6. ACCIDENT RELEASE MEASURES

Personal Precautions Use personal protective equipment. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Keep
people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not
get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing

Environmental precautions Prevent from entering sewers or the immediate environment.

Methods and material for

Containment and cleaning up Contain and absorb with sand or vermiculate and mix well. Collect up and remove
to a safe place until disposal. Wash the site of spillage thoroughly with water.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

For personal protection see section 8. Do not handle material near food, feed or drinking water. Shower or bathe at the end of
working. Do not breathe vapor. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Precautions for safe handling Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Wash
thoroughly after handling. Use only with adequate ventilation. Vacate poorly
ventilated areas as soon as possible, and do not return until odors have
dissipated.

Storage conditions Store and handle in accordance with all current regulations and standards. If
possible, store in original container. If not possible, store in a corrosion resistant
container with a resistant inner liner and with an adequate relief device. Keep
container tightly closed and upright when not in use.
Store in a cool, dry area. Store out of direct sunlight. Store in a well-ventilated
area. Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition. Do not freeze.
Keep separated from incompatible substances (see below or Section 10 of the
Safety Data Sheet). Store in a secure manner.

Incompatibilities/ Materials to Avoid

Engineering Controls Use closed systems when possible. Provide local exhaust ventilation where vapor
or mist may be generated. Ensure compliance with applicable exposure limits.

Skin Protection Wear chemical resistant gloves and full work clothing, including long-sleeved
shirt and trousers.

Eye Protection Wear splash resistant safety goggles with a face-shield. Provide an emergency
eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in the immediate work area

Hand protection Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Consult a glove supplier for
assistance in selecting an appropriate chemical resistant glove

Respiratory protection A NIOSH approved respirator with N95 (dust, fume, mist) cartridges may be
permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are
expected to exceed exposure limits, or when symptoms have been observed that
are indicative of overexposure. Acid gas cartridges may be required if
decomposition products are present. A respiratory protection program that
meets 29 CFR 1910.134 must be followed whenever workplace conditions
warrant use of a respirator.
