SECTION 6: Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Personal precautions
Use personal protective equipment as required. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.

Environmental precautions

Environmental precautions
Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Prevent product from entering drains. See Section 12 for additional Ecological Information.
Should not be released into the environment.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Methods for containment
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Methods for cleaning up
Use personal protective equipment as required. Cover powder spill with plastic sheet or tarp to minimize spreading and keep powder dry. Take up mechanically, placing in appropriate containers for disposal. Avoid creating dust. Clean contaminated surface thoroughly. Soak up with inert absorbent material. Dam up. Pick up and transfer to properly labeled containers. Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal. After cleaning, flush away traces with water. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

SECTION 7: Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Advice on safe handling
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Use personal protective equipment as required. Use with local exhaust ventilation. Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. May cause damage to organs through prolonged o repeated exposure.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Storage Conditions
Keep container tightly closed. Keep out of the reach of children. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep in properly labeled containers. Store at room temperature.

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment

Eye/face protection
Tight sealing safety goggles. Face protection shield.
Skin and Body Protection
Wear protective gloves and protective clothing.
Respiratory protection
If exposure limits are exceeded or irritation is experienced, NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection should be worn. Positive-pressure supplied air respirators may be required for high airborne contaminant concentrations. Respiratory protection must be provided in accordance with current local regulations.
General Hygiene Considerations
When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Regular cleaning of equipment, work area and clothing is recommended.
