Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Advice for non-emergency personnel
- Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Advice for emergency responders
- The product evaporates readily.
- Ensure adequate ventilation.
- Vapours are heavier than air and can cause suffocation by reducing oxygen available for breathing.
- Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition.
Environmental precautions
- Should not be released into the environment.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
- Allow to evaporate.

Exposure controls / personal protection
1. Technical protection measures
- Ensure adequate ventilation.
- Apply technical measures to comply with the occupational exposure limits.
2. Organisational protection measures
- Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
- When using, do not eat, drink or smoke.
- Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.
- Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
3. Hand protection
- Rubber gloves
- Take note of the information given by the producer concerning permeability and break through times, and of special workplace conditions (mechanical strain, duration of contact).
4. Feet protection
- safety shoes
5. Body protection
- Long sleeved clothing
- Choose body protection in relation to its type, to the concentration and amount of dangerous substances, and to the specific work-place.
6. Eye protection
- Tightly fitting safety goggles
7. Respiratory protection
- Use respirator when performing operations involving potential exposure to vapour of the product.
- The filter class for the respirator must be suitable for the maximum expected contaminant concentration (gas/vapour/aerosol/particulates) that may arise when handling the product. If this concentration is exceeded, self-contained breathing apparatus must be used.
- Use only respiratory protection that conforms to international/ national standards.
- Remove respiratory and skin/eye protection only after vapours have been cleared from the area.
- Ensure adequate ventilation.
- Apply technical measures to comply with the occupational exposure limits.
