6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, Keep unnecessary personnel away. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during
protective equipment and clean-up. Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator if there is a risk of exposure to dust/fume at
emergency procedures levels exceeding the exposure limits. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
Methods and materials for Avoid the generation of dusts during clean-up. Collect dust using a vacuum cleaner equipped with
containment and cleaning up HEPA filter. This product is miscible in water. Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk.

Large Spills: Wet down with water and dike for later disposal. Shovel the material into waste
container. Following product recovery, flush area with water.

Small Spills: Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal. For
waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Environmental precautions Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.

7. Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places
where dust is formed. Practice good housekeeping.
Conditions for safe storage, Store in original tightly closed container. Store in a well-ventilated place. Store away from
including any incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS).

8. Exposure controls/personal protection

Occupational exposure limits This substance has no PEL, TLV, or other recommended exposure limit.
Biological limit values No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).
Appropriate engineering If material is ground, cut, or used in any operation which may generate dusts, use appropriate local
controls exhaust ventilation to keep exposures below the recommended exposure limits.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).

Skin protection
Hand protection Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Other Wear suitable protective clothing.
Respiratory protection Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator if there is a risk of exposure to dust/fume at levels
exceeding the exposure limits.
Thermal hazards Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.
General hygiene Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and
considerations before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to
remove contaminants.
