Section
6: Accidental Release Measures Small Spill:
Use
appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal
container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and
dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements.
Large
Spill: Use a shovel to put
the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by
spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the
sanitary system.
Section
7: Handling and Storage Precautions:
Keep
away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty containers pose a fire
risk, evaporate the residue under a fume hood. Ground all equipment containing
material. Do not breathe dust. Wear suitable protective clothing. In case of
insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. If you feel
unwell, seek medical attention and show the label when possible. Avoid contact
with skin and eyes. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents,
acids.
Storage:
Keep container tightly
closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
Section
8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Engineering Controls:
Use
process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to
keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations
generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne
contaminants below the exposure limit.
Personal
Protection: Splash
goggles. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified
respirator or equivalent. Gloves.
Personal
Protection in Case of a Large Spill:
Splash
goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing
apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested
protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE
handling this product.
