Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Avoid dust formation. Sources of ignition should be kept well clear. Use breathing apparatus if
exposed to vapours/dust/aerosol. Information regarding personal protective measures see, chapter
8.
Environmental precautions
Discharge into the environment must be avoided. Do not empty into drains. Retain and dispose of
contaminated wash water.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
For large amounts: Sweep/shovel up. Dispose of contaminated material as prescribed.
For residues: Rinse away with water.
Reference to other sections
Information regarding exposure controls/personal protection and disposal considerations can be
found in section 8 and 13.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection:
Breathing protection if breathable aerosols/dust are formed. Particle filter with low efficiency for solid
particles (e.g. EN 143 or 149, Type P1or FFP1)
Hand protection:
Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN 374)
butyl rubber (butyl) - 0.7 mm coating thickness
Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types.
Eye protection:
Safety glasses with side-shields (frame goggles) (e.g. EN 166)
General safety and hygiene measures
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Take off immediately all
contaminated clothing. At the end of the shift the skin should be cleaned and skin-care agents
applied.
