SECTION 6: Accidental release measures

For emergency responders : If specialised clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of any information
in Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable materials. See also the information in "For non-
emergency personnel".

6.2 Environmental : Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and
precautions sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).

6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Small spill : Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion-proof equipment. Dilute with water and mop up if water-soluble. Alternatively,
or if water-insoluble, absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste
disposal container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Large spill : Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion-proof equipment. Approach the release from upwind. Prevent entry into
sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash spillages into an effluent
treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain and collect spillage with non-
combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and
place in container for disposal according to local regulations. Dispose of via a licensed
waste disposal contractor. Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same

8.2 Exposure controls

Appropriate engineering : Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or
controls other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any
recommended or statutory limits. The engineering controls also need to keep gas,
vapour or dust concentrations below any lower explosive limits. Use explosion-proof
ventilation equipment.
Individual protection measures
Hygiene measures : Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before
eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.
Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.
Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety
showers are close to the workstation location.
Eye/face protection : Chemical splash goggles.
Skin protection
Hand protection : Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be
worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is
necessary. Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check
during use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It should be
noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may be different for different
glove manufacturers. In the case of mixtures, consisting of several substances, the
protection time of the gloves cannot be accurately estimated. When prolonged or
frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 6
(breakthrough time greater than 480 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended.
When only brief contact is expected, a glove with a protection class of 2 or higher
(breakthrough time greater than 30 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended.
The user must check that the final choice of type of glove selected for handling this
product is the most appropriate and takes into account the particular conditions of use,
as included in the user's risk assessment.
Gloves : For prolonged or repeated handling, use the following type of gloves:

Not recommended: nitrile rubber

Recommended: polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), Viton®

SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection

Body protection : Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being
performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before
handling this product. When there is a risk of ignition from static electricity, wear anti-
static protective clothing. For the greatest protection from static discharges, clothing
should include anti-static overalls, boots and gloves. Refer to European Standard EN
1149 for further information on material and design requirements and test methods.
Other skin protection Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should be selected
based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a
specialist before handling this product.
Respiratory protection : Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the
hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator. If workers
are exposed to concentrations above the exposure limit, they must use appropriate,
certified respirators. Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying
with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Wear a
respirator conforming to EN140. Filter type: organic vapour (Type A) and particulate
filter P3
Environmental exposure : Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
controls they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some
cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment
will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
