6. Accidental Release Measures
Contain the release and eliminate its source if this can be done safely.
Air Release:
Not a hazardous event.
Water Release:
This material is soluble in water. Contain all liquid for treatment and/or disposal as a (potential) hazardous
waste. Notify all downstream users of possible contamination.
Land Release:
Create a dike or trench to contain materials. Absorb spill with inert material (e.g., dry sand, clay, earth or
commercial absorbent), then place in a chemical waste container.
Contain all contaminated water for disposal and/or treatment.
Additional Spill Information:
Stop source of spill as soon as possible and notify appropriate personnel. Utilize emergency response
personal protection equipment prior to the start of any response. Evacuate all non-essential personnel.
7. Handling and Storage
Handling: Do not take internally. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Upon contact with skin or eyes, wash
with water. Avoid breathing vapor, mist or gas.
Storage: Keep container closed when not in use.
Shelf Life Limitations: See label or certificate of analysis for shelf life if applicable.
Refer to Section 10, "Incompatible Materials."
