shoes. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Get medical attention. W ash clothing
before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.
Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If not
breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial
respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. It may be dangerous to the person providing
aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Get medical attention if adverse health effects
persist or are severe. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical
attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar,

6. Accidental release measures
Environmental precautions
Personal precautions, protective equipm ent and emergency procedures
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Absorb spillage to prevent
material damage. Approach release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water
courses, basements or confined areas. W ash spillages into an effluent treatment plant
or proceed as follows. Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent
material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and place in container for
disposal according to local regulations (see Section 13). The spilled material may be
neutralized with sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydroxide. Dispose of
via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Contaminated absorbent material may pose
the same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see Section 1 for emergency contact
information and Section 13 for waste disposal.
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Avoid breathing vapor or mist.
Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate.
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment.
Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and
sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution
(sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute with water and mop up
if water-soluble. Alternatively, or if water-insoluble, absorb with an inert dry material and
place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Absorb spillage to prevent material
damage. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

Conditions for safe storage,
including any
incom patibilities
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 in corrosive resistant container with a
resistant inner liner. Separate from alkalis. 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 unlabeled containers. Use appropriate
containment to avoid environmental contamination.
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Do not ingest. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Keep in the original
container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed
when not in use. Keep away from alkalis. Empty containers retain product residue and
can be hazardous. Do not reuse container. Absorb spillage to prevent material damage.
Precautions for safe handling
8. Exposure controls/personal 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. Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check
during use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It should be
noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may be different for different
glove manufacturers. In the case of mixtures, consisting of several substances, the
protection time of the gloves cannot be accurately estimated.
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: chemical splash goggles.
Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being
performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling
this product.
Environmental exposure
controls
Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they
comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some cases,
fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be
necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
Appropriate engineering
controls
Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control worker exposure to airborne
contaminants.
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. W ash
contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers
are close to the workstation location.
Individual protection measures
Occupational exposure lim its
Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should be selected
based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a
specialist before handling this product.

local authority requirements. Dispose of surplus and non-recyclable products via a
licensed waste disposal contractor. W aste should not be disposed of untreated to the
sewer unless fully compliant with the requirements of all authorities with jurisdiction.
Waste packaging should be recycled. Incineration or landfill should only be considered
when recycling is not feasible. This material and its container must be disposed of in a
safe way. Care should be taken when handling emptied containers that have not been
cleaned or rinsed out. Empty containers or liners may retain some product residues.
Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and
sewers.
