6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Not required.

Environmental precautions

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

Methods and materials for containment and clean up

• Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand, diatomite, acid binders, universal binders, sawdust)
• 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 receptacle tightly sealed

8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Exposure Standards

Engineering controls

• 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.

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.
• 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.

Body protection

Protective gloves

Respiratory protection

In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use respiratory protective device that is independent of circulating air.
