Environmental precautions
: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
: Contain spillage, and then collect with non-combustible ab-
sorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, ver-
miculite) and place in container for disposal according to local
/ national regulations (see section 13).
Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Advice on protection against
fire and explosion
: Do not spray on a naked flame or any incandescent material.
Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of
ignition.
Advice on safe handling : Avoid formation of aerosol.
For personal protection see section 8.
Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the ap-
plication area.
Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms.
Dispose of rinse water in accordance with local and national
regulations.
Conditions for safe storage : No smoking.

Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection : General and local exhaust ventilation is recommended to
maintain vapor exposures below recommended limits. Where
concentrations are above recommended limits or are un-
known, appropriate respiratory protection should be worn.
Follow OSHA respirator regulations (29 CFR 1910.134) and
use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirators. Protection provided
by air purifying respirators against exposure to any hazardous
chemical is limited. Use a positive pressure air supplied respi-
rator if there is any potential for uncontrolled release, expo-
sure levels are unknown, or any other circumstance where air
purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
Hand protection
Remarks : The suitability for a specific workplace should be discussed
with the producers of the protective gloves.
Eye protection : Eye wash bottle with pure water
Tightly fitting safety goggles
Skin and body protection : Impervious clothing
Choose body protection according to the amount and concen-
tration of the dangerous substance at the work place.
Hygiene measures : Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.
