containment and cleaning up

Environmental precautions

Keep unnecessary personnel away. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Do not
touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. For
personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.

Absorb spill with vermiculite or other inert material, then place in a sealed container for chemical
waste.

Large Spills: Flush with plenty of water. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or
confined areas. Dike for later disposal.

Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to
remove residual contamination.

Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.

7. Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Conditions for safe storage,
including any incompatibilities

When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Avoid contact with eyes. Wear appropriate personal
