SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Evacuate area. Ventilate the area with fresh air. For large spill, or spills in confined spaces, provide mechanical ventilation
to disperse or exhaust vapors, in accordance with good industrial hygiene practice. Refer to other sections of this SDS for
information regarding physical and health hazards, respiratory protection, ventilation, and personal protective equipment.
6.2. Environmental precautions
Avoid release to the environment. For larger spills, cover drains and build dikes to prevent entry into sewer systems or
bodies of water.
6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Contain spill. Working from around the edges of the spill inward, cover with bentonite, vermiculite, or commercially
available inorganic absorbent material. Mix in sufficient absorbent until it appears dry. Remember, adding an absorbent
material does not remove a physical, health, or environmental hazard. Collect as much of the spilled material as possible.
Place in a closed container approved for transportation by appropriate authorities. Clean up residue with water. Seal the
container. Dispose of collected material as soon as possible in accordance with applicable
local/regional/national/international regulations.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage

FIRST AID:
Have the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor, or going for treatment. If in eyes:
Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5
minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. If swallowed: Call a poison
control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce
vomiting unless told to do so by the poison control center or doctor. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
If inhaled: Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance then
give artificial respiration, preferably by mouth-to-mouth, if possible. Call a poison control center or doctor for further
treatment advice.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Probable mucosal damage may contraindicate the use of gastric lavage.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL:
DO NOT CONTAMINATE WATER, FOOD, OR FEED BY STORAGE OR DISPOSAL.
PESTICIDE STORAGE – Store in a dry place no lower in temperature than 50°F or higher than 120°F.
PESTICIDE DISPOSAL - Pesticide wastes are acutely hazardous. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixture, or
rinsate is a violation of Federal Law. If these wastes cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, contact
your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional
Office for guidance.
CONTAINER DISPOSAL - Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill container. Clean container promptly after
emptying. Triple rinse as follows: Fill container 1/4 full with water and recap. Agitate vigorously. Follow Pesticide Disposal
instructions for rinsate disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat procedure two more times. Offer

SECTION 16: Other information
NFPA Hazard Classification
Health: 2 Flammability: 0 Instability: 0 Special Hazards: None
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) hazard ratings are designed for use by emergency response personnel to address
the hazards that are presented by short-term, acute exposure to a material under conditions of fire, spill, or similar
emergencies. Hazard ratings are primarily based on the inherent physical and toxic properties of the material but also include
the toxic properties of combustion or decomposition products that are known to be generated in significant quantities.
HMIS Hazard Classification
Health: 2 Flammability: 0 Physical Hazard: 0 Personal Protection: X - See PPE section.
Hazardous Material Identification System (HMIS® IV) hazard ratings are designed to inform employees of chemical hazards
in the workplace. These ratings are based on the inherent properties of the material under expected conditions of normal use
and are not intended for use in emergency situations. HMIS® IV ratings are to be used with a fully implemented HMIS® IV
program. HMIS® is a registered mark of the American Coatings Association (ACA).
