6. Accidental release measures | |
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures | Avoid inhalation of vapors/mist and contact with skin and eyes. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. |
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up | Ventilate the area. Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Transfer to a container for disposal. Put material in suitable, covered, labeled containers. Following product recovery, flush area with water. Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS. |
Environmental precautions | Do not discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. |
7. Handling and storage | |
Precautions for safe handling | Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Avoid prolonged exposure. Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Avoid inhalation of vapors/mist and contact with skin and eyes. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Avoid release to the environment. Should be handled in closed systems, if possible. |
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities | Store locked up. Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat, spark, open flames and other sources of ignition. Store in closed original container at temperatures between 5°C and 25°C. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS). |
