Methods and materials for Use water spray to reduce vapors or divert vapor cloud drift. This product is miscible in water.
containment and cleaning up
Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is
possible. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. Following product
recovery, flush area with water.

Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to
remove residual contamination.

Never return spills to original containers for re-use. 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 Avoid prolonged exposure. Observe good industrial hygiene practices.
Conditions for safe storage, Store in tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the
including any incompatibilities SDS).

8. Exposure controls/personal protection

Occupational exposure limits

Material Type Value Form

15 mg/m3 Total dust.

Biological limit values No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).
Appropriate engineering Good general ventilation should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If
controls applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to
maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been
established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.
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. Nitrile, butyl rubber or neoprene gloves are
recommended. Be aware that the liquid may penetrate the gloves. Frequent change is advisable.
Skin protection
Other Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing.
Respiratory protection In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
Thermal hazards Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.

General hygiene Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material
considerations and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective
equipment to remove contaminants.
