SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Wear
appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not touch damaged containers
or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal
protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Following product recovery, flush area with water.
For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling
Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate
personal protective equipment. Observe good industrial hygiene practices.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Store locked up. Store in original tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials
(see Section 10 of the SDS).

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Occupational exposure limits No exposure limits noted for ingredient(s).
Biological limit values No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s)
Appropriate engineering controls - Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Eye wash facilities and emergency shower must be available when handling this product.
Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Skin protection
Hand protection Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Other Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing
Respiratory protection In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
Thermal hazards Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.
General hygiene considerations - Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants.
