Do not allow undiluted product or large quantities of it to reach ground
water, water course or sewage system.

Methods and material for containment
and cleaning up: Use neutralising agent.
Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand, diatomite, acid binders,
universal binders, sawdust).
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Put damaged containers into recovery drums.
Dispose contaminated material as waste accordingly.

Discharge into waste water channels and biological treatment plants
only after clearance with the operating company and in accordance with
local Authority approval.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling: Empty containers must not be used for other products.
Contaminated protective equipment should be cleaned before taking it
off.
Ensure good ventilation/exhaustion at the workplace.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Additional information about design of
technical facilities: Check seals on flanges and valves for suitability and corrosion
resistance.
If necessary inspection intervals should be defined!
Waste gases should be led into the atmosphere only via appropriate
separators, scrubbers or incinerators.

Control parameters
Ingredients with limit values that require
monitoring at the workplace: Not required.
DNEL/PNEC-values: According to Art. 17 and 18 of EU-Regulation 1907/2006 (REACH) this
substance is used as isolated intermediate under strictly controlled
conditions. Therefore no DNEL/PNEC is required.

Exposure controls: This product is exclusively dedicated for the application as on-site
isolated intermediate under strictly controlled conditions according to
Article 17 of Regulation EC 1907/2006 (REACH-Regulation).
Personal protective equipment
General protective and hygienic measures: Contaminated protective suit shall be cleaned before taking it off.
Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed.
Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing
Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work.
Store protective clothing separately.
Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.
Respiratory protection: In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory
filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use
self-contained respiratory protective device.
Filter A.
Protection of hands: Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration
times, rates of diffusion and the degradation.
Penetration time of glove material: Indicated figures for time are recorded at 22 °C and long-lasting
contact. Increased temperatures caused by warm substances, body
heat etc. and a reduction of thickness by extension of material may
result in a decreased penetration time.
A 1,5-fold increased/decreased thickness doubles/halves the
penetration time.
Figures are valid only for pure substances. Transfer to mixtures of
substances is valid only as qualitative information.
For the permanent contact gloves made of
the following materials are suitable: Do not wear gloves made from the following materials longer than 8
hours:
Butyl rubber, BR
Check for tightness before use.
Replace damaged gloves.
