protective equipment and
emergency procedures
Use personal protective equipment.
Follow safe handling advice and personal protective
equipment recommendations.
Environmental precautions
Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Prevent spreading over a wide area (e.g. by containment or oil
barriers).
Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water.
Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages
cannot be contained.
Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
Non-sparking tools should be used.
Soak up with inert absorbent material.

General and local exhaust ventilation is recommended to
maintain vapor exposures below recommended limits. Where
concentrations are above recommended limits or are
unknown, appropriate respiratory protection should be worn.
Follow OSHA respirator regulations (29 CFR 1910.134) and
use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirators. Protection provided
by air purifying respirators against exposure to any
hazardous chemical is limited. Use a positive pressure air
supplied respirator if there is any potential for uncontrolled
release, exposure levels are unknown, or any other
circumstance where air purifying respirators may not provide
adequate protection.
Material
Choose gloves to protect hands against chemicals depending
on the concentration specific to place of work. Breakthrough
time is not determined for the product. Change gloves often!
For special applications, we recommend clarifying the
resistance to chemicals of the aforementioned protective
gloves with the glove manufacturer. Wash hands before
breaks and at the end of workday.
Wear the following personal protective equipment:
Chemical resistant goggles must be worn.
If splashes are likely to occur, wear:
Face-shield
Select appropriate protective clothing based on chemical
resistance data and an assessment of the local exposure
potential.
Wear the following personal protective equipment:
Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing.
Skin contact must be avoided by using impervious protective
clothing (gloves, aprons, boots, etc).
Ensure that eye flushing systems and safety showers are
located close to the working place.
When using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
