Media
Protective Equipment for : Proper protective equipment including breathing apparatus
Firefighters must be worn when approaching a fire in a confined space.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Protective Measures : Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Use appropriate containment
to avoid environmental contamination. Prevent from spreading
or entering drains, ditches or rivers by using sand, earth, or
other appropriate barriers.
Clean Up Methods : Slippery when spilt. Avoid accidents, clean up immediately.
Prevent from spreading by making a barrier with sand, earth or
other containment material. Reclaim liquid directly or in an
absorbent. Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay,
sand or other suitable material and dispose of properly.
Additional Advice : Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages
cannot be contained.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

General Precautions : Use local exhaust ventilation if there is risk of inhalation of

vapours, mists or aerosols. Properly dispose of any

this material.
Handling : Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Avoid inhaling
vapour and/or mists. When handling product in drums, safety
footwear should be worn and proper handling equipment
should be used.
Storage : Keep container tightly closed and in a cool, well-ventilated
place. Use properly labelled and closeable containers. Store at
ambient temperature.
Recommended Materials : For containers or container linings, use mild steel or high
density polyethylene.
Unsuitable Materials : PVC.
Additional Information : Polyethylene containers should not be exposed to high
temperatures because of possible risk of distortion.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

If the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) value is provided on

this document, it is provided for information only.

Occupational Exposure Limits

Exposure Controls : The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary
depending upon potential exposure conditions. Select controls
based on a risk assessment of local circumstances.
Appropriate measures include: Adequate ventilation to control
airborne concentrations. Where material is heated, sprayed or
mist formed, there is greater potential for airborne
concentrations to be generated.
Personal Protective : Personal protective equipment (PPE) should meet
Equipment recommended national standards. Check with PPE suppliers.
Respiratory Protection : No respiratory protection is ordinarily required under normal
conditions of use. In accordance with good industrial hygiene
practices, precautions should be taken to avoid breathing of
material. If engineering controls do not maintain airborne
concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker
health, select respiratory protection equipment suitable for the
specific conditions of use and meeting relevant legislation.
Check with respiratory protective equipment suppliers. Where
air-filtering respirators are suitable, select an appropriate
combination of mask and filter. Select a filter suitable for
combined particulate/organic gases and vapours [boiling point
>65°C(149 °F)].
Hand Protection : Where hand contact with the product may occur the use of
gloves approved to relevant standards (e.g. Europe: EN374,
US: F739) made from the following materials may provide
suitable chemical protection: PVC, neoprene or nitrile rubber
gloves. Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on
usage, e.g. frequency and duration of contact, chemical
resistance of glove material, glove thickness, dexterity. Always

seek advice from glove suppliers. Contaminated gloves should

be replaced. Personal hygiene is a key element of effective
hand care. Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After
using gloves, hands should be washed and dried thoroughly.
Application of a non-perfumed moisturizer is recommended.
Eye Protection : Wear safety glasses or full face shield if splashes are likely to
occur.
Protective Clothing : Skin protection not ordinarily required beyond standard issue
work clothes.
Monitoring Methods : Monitoring of the concentration of substances in the breathing
zone of workers or in the general workplace may be required to
confirm compliance with an OEL and adequacy of exposure
controls. For some substances biological monitoring may also
be appropriate.
Environmental Exposure : Minimise release to the environment. An environmental
Controls assessment must be made to ensure compliance with local
environmental legislation.
