SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE FIGHTING
In case of fire, wear a full face positive pressure self contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

6. Accidental Release Measures

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Restrict access to area as appropriate until clean up operations are complete. Use personal protective equipment
recommended in section 8. Stop or reduce any leaks if it is safe to do so. Ventilate spill area if possible. Ensure Clean up is
conducted by trained personnel only. Do not touch spilled material. Have emergency equipment (for fires,spills,leaks,etc)readily
available. Notify appropriate government, occupational health and safety and environmental authorities.
METHODS FOR CLEANING UP
SMALL SPILLS: Soak up spill with absorbent material. Place residues in a suitable, covered, properly labeled container. Was
affected area. LARGE SPILLS: Contain liquid using absorbent material, by digging trenches or by diking. Reclaim into recovery or
salvage drums or tank truck for proper disposal. Clean contaminated surfaces with water or aqueous cleaning agents. Contact
an approved waste hauler for disposal of contaminated recovered material. Dispose of material in compliance with regulations
indicated in section 13.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Prevent material from entering sewers or waterways. Spilled product may pose a risk to the aquatic ecosystem if released. If
drains, streams, soil or sewers become contaminated, notify local authority.

7. Handling and Storage

HANDLING
Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Do not take internally. Use with adequate ventilation. Do not breathe vapor/gases/dust.
Keep the containers closed when not in use. Have emergency equipment (for fire, spills, leaks, etc) readily available. Ensure all
containers are labeled.
STORAGE CONDITIONS
Store in suitable labeled containers. Store the containers tightly closed. Store separately from acids.
SUITABLE CONTSTRUCTION MATERIAL
