and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental

pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). Water polluting material. May be harmful

to the environment if released in large quantities. Collect spillage.

6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Small spill : Move containers from spill area. Avoid dust generation. Do not dry sweep. Vacuum dust with equipment fitted with a HEPA filter and place in a closed, labeled waste container. Place spilled material in a designated, labeled waste container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

Large spill : Move containers from spill area. Approach the release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Avoid dust generation. Do not dry sweep. Vacuum dust with equipment fitted with a HEPA filter and place in a closed, labeled waste container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

6.4 Reference to other sections :

See Section 1 for emergency contact information.

See Section 8 for information on appropriate personal protective equipment.

See Section 13 for additional waste treatment information.

Handling and storage

The information in this section contains generic advice and guidance. The list of Identified Uses in Section 1 should be consulted for any available use-specific information provided in the Exposure Scenario(s).

7.1 Precautions for safe handling Protective measures : Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Persons with a

history of skin sensitization problems should not be employed in any process in

which this product is used. Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use.

Avoid exposure during pregnancy. Do not handle until all safety precautions have

been read and understood. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not ingest.

Avoid breathing vapour or mist. Avoid release to the environment. If during normal

use the material presents a respiratory hazard, use only with adequate ventilation or

wear appropriate respirator. Keep in the original container or an approved

alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use.

Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse

container.

Advice on general occupational hygiene : Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. See also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene measures.

7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities : Store between the following temperatures: 2 to 40°C (35.6 to 104°F). Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10) and food and drink. Store locked up. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabelled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.

Exposure controls / personal protection

The information in this section contains generic advice and guidance. The list of Identified Uses in Section 1 should be

consulted for any available use-specific information provided in the Exposure Scenario(s)

8.1 Control parameters

Recommended monitoring procedures  : Occupational exposure limits : No exposure limit value known.

If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal, workplace

atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to determine the effectiveness

of the ventilation or other control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory

protective equipment. Reference should be made to monitoring standards, such as

the following: European Standard EN 689 (Workplace atmospheres - Guidance for

the assessment of exposure by inhalation to chemical agents for comparison with

limit values and measurement strategy) European Standard EN 14042 (Workplace

atmospheres - Guide for the application and use of procedures for the assessment

of exposure to chemical and biological agents) European Standard EN 482

(Workplace atmospheres - General requirements for the performance of procedures

for the measurement of chemical agents) Reference to national guidance

documents for methods for the determination of hazardous substances will also be

required.

Derived effect levels : no available

Predicted effect concentrations : not available

Appropriate engineering controls : If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas, vapour or mist, use process

enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker

exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits.

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.

Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Wash

contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety

showers are close to the workstation location.

Eye/face protection : Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk

assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists,

gases or dusts. If contact is possible, the following protection should be worn,

unless the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: safety glasses with

side-shields.

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. Use gloves approved to relevant standards e.g. EN 374 (Europe), F739 (US).

Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on usage, e.g. frequency and

duration of contact, chemical resistance of glove material and dexterity. Always

seek advice from glove suppliers. Additional information can be found for instance

at www.gisbau.de
