06Accidental release measures
- Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
- Use personal protective equipment. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapours, mist, gas or dust. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. For personal protection, see Section 8.
- Environmental precautions
- Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let the product enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
- Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
- Pick up and arrange disposal. Sweep up and shovel. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
07Handling and storage
- Precautions for safe handling
- Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Avoid exposure; obtain special instructions before use. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation where dust is formed.
- Conditions for safe storage
- Store in a cool place. Keep the container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.
08Exposure controls and personal protection
Control parameters

- No data available
Exposure controls
- Engineering controls
- Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of the workday.
- Eye and face protection
- Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN 166. Use eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166 (EU).
- Skin and body protection
- Wear impervious clothing, selected according to the concentration and amount of the substance at the specific workplace. Handle with gloves. Inspect gloves before use and use proper glove removal technique, without touching the glove’s outer surface, to avoid skin contact. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practice. Wash and dry hands. Gloves must satisfy EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
