Accidental release measures
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Personal Protective Equipment must be worn, see Personal Protection Section for PPE recommendations. Ventilate area if spilled in confined space or other poorly ventilated areas.
Environmental Precautions:
Avoid release to the environment. Do not contaminate water sources or sewer. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:
Dike far ahead of larger spill for later recovery and disposal. Pick up free liquid for recycle and/or disposal. Residual liquid can be absorbed on inert material. Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas.
Reference to other sections:
See sections “Exposure Controls/Personal Protection” and “Disposal Considerations” for additional information.

Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls: Use material in well ventilated area only.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
General information: Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. Supplementary local exhaust ventilation, closed systems, or respiratory and eye protection may be needed in special circumstances, such as poorly ventilated spaces, heating, evaporation of liquids from large surfaces, spraying of mists, mechanical generation of dusts, drying of solids, etc.
Eye/face protection: If contact is likely, safety glasses with side shields are recommended.
Skin protection
Hand Protection: Use nitrile or neoprene gloves. Use good industrial hygiene practices. In case of skin contact, wash hands and arms with soap and water. Suitable gloves can be recommended by the glove supplier.
Other: Long sleeve shirt is recommended.
Respiratory Protection: A respiratory protection program compliant with all applicable regulations must be followed whenever workplace conditions require the use of a respirator. Under normal use conditions, respirator is not usually required. Use appropriate respiratory protection if exposure to dust particles, mist or vapors is likely. Use self-contained breathing apparatus for entry into confined space, for other poorly ventilated areas and for large spill clean-up sites. Use self-contained breathing apparatus for entry into confined space, for other poorly ventilated areas and for large spill clean-up sites.
Hygiene measures: Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing to remove contaminants. Discard contaminated footwear that cannot be cleaned.
Environmental Controls: No data available. See section “Accidental Release Measures” for details.
