Dilute with plenty of water. Do not allow to enter sewers/ surface or ground water. Inform respective authorities in case of seepage into water course or sewage system.

Methods and materials for containment and clean up

• Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand, diatomite, acid binders, universal binders, sawdust).
• Use neutralising agent.
• Dispose contaminated material as waste according to item 13.
• Ensure adequate ventilation.

7. Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling

• Ensure good ventilation/exhaustion at the workplace.
• Open and handle receptacle with care.
• Prevent formation of aerosols.
• Keep respiratory protective device available.

Conditions for safe storage

Keep container tightly sealed.

8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Exposure Standards

Engineering controls

• Store locked up.
• Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed.
• Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep cool.

Personal protective equipment

Eye and face protection

Tightly sealed goggles.

Skin protection

• Protective gloves
• The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation.
• Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/ the chemical mixture.
• Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation.
• Material of gloves
• The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. As the product is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application.
• Penetration time of glove material.
• The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.

Body protection

• 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.
• Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.
