Environmental precautions :
Contain the spilled material by bunding.
Prevent product from entering sewage system.
Recovery :
Contain spillage, soak up with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and transfer to a container for disposal according to local / national regulations (see section 13).
Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
Use only explosion-proof equipment.
Decontamination/cleaning :
Wash off with plenty of water.
Recover the cleaning water for subsequent disposal.
Disposal :
Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
Additional advice :
Material can create slippery conditions

Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection :
Use a respirator with an approved filter if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary.
Hand protection :
Where there is a risk of contact with hands, use appropriate gloves
The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
Please observe the instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time which are provided by the supplier of the gloves. Also take into consideration the specific local conditions under which the product is used, such as the danger of cuts, abrasion, and the contact time.
Gloves must be inspected prior to use.
Gloves should be discarded and replaced if there is any indication of degradation or chemical breakthrough.
Eye protection :
