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. Shut off all ignition sources. No flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Avoid breathing vapor
or mist. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put on
appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8).
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Approach release from upwind. Prevent entry into
sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash 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). Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. 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.

the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Personal precautions
Methods for cleaning up
Small spill
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute with water and mop up if water-soluble or
absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Use spark-proof
tools and explosion-proof equipment. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Store between the following temperatures: 18 to 25°C (64.4 to 77°F). Store in accordance with local
regulations. Store in a segregated and approved area. 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. Eliminate all ignition sources. Separate from oxidizing materials. 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). Eating, drinking and smoking should be
prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands
and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not breathe
