Methods for cleaning up :              Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust).

                    Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

Handling and storage

--Precautions for safe handling--

Advice on safe handling :              Do not breathe vapours/dust.

                    Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use.

                    For personal protection see section 8 of the SDS.

                    Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the application area.

                    Dispose of rinse water in accordance with local and national regulations.

Advice on protection against

fire and explosion :              Normal measures for preventive fire protection.

--Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities--

Requirements for storage

areas and containers :              Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.

                    Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.

                    Electrical installations / working materials must comply with the technological safety standards.

Further information on

storage conditions:               Ambient / 10-30°C (50-85°F)

                    Dry, well ventilated, preferably full, hermetically sealed

Advice on common storage :       Protect against light.

Other data :                     No decomposition if stored and applied as directed.

Exposure controls / personal protection

--Control parameters--

Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values.

--Exposure controls--

-Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection :              Use only in well-ventilated areas.

                    In case a risk analysis proved the cartridge respirator as acceptable, use type:

                    ABEK-P3 (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls.

                    In absence of engineering controls, use self-contained

                    breathing apparatus or full face supplied air respirators.

                    Use respirators and components tested and approved under

                    appropriate government standards such as CEN (EU).

Hand protection :              Use gloves when handling substance in open systems.

                    Inspect gloves prior to use. Train operators for proper use.

                    If only incidental exposure is expected: (work without direct contact to substance)

                    use gloves tested according EN 16523-1 breakthrough times at least 10 minutes,

                    tested for chemicals indicated in chapter 3 of this SDS. Change gloves frequently.

                    If direct skin contact is expected: use gloves tested according to EN 16523-1,

                    tested for chemicals indicated in chapter 3 of this SDS. Permeation time must exceed contact time.

                    

Eye protection :              Use safety glasses and faceshield tested according to EN 166.

                    

Skin and body protection :       Wear working clothes covering arms and legs.

                    The type of protective equipment must be selected according

                    to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance

                    at the specific workplace. Use apron or complete chemical suit if exposure is expected.

                    

Hygiene measures :              Do not eat, drink or smoke during work.

                    Wash and dry hands after finished working.

Protective measures :              Exposure assessment: Exposure is dependent on the product

                    being handled, the potential for chemical release, and any

                    resulting airborne concentrations or dermal contact. Since

                    product handling and release scenarios vary, and no two

                    workplaces are exactly alike, it is recommended that the

                    potential for exposure be assessed prior to the product’s use

                    or introduction. Exposure assessments should be performed

                    by an occupational hygienist, industrial hygienist, or other

                    qualified occupational or environmental health professional.

                    An exposure assessment should be conducted to determine

                    the efficacy of any ventilation and the need for additional

                    respiratory protection.

                    PPE is always the last resort to avoid exposure. In any case

                    technical and organisational measures have to be explored

                    and used prior to the selection of PPE. The PPE selection is

                    for operators trained to work with chemicals according to good

                    industrial hygiene and safety practice. Operators have to be

                    trained and used to PPE handling.
