Further information:
Fire debris must be disposed of in accordance with offical regulations. Keep containers cool by
spraying with water if exposed to fire.
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions:
Ensure adequate ventilation. Sources of ignition should be kept well clear.
Environmental precautions:
Do not empty into drains.
Methods for cleaning up or taking up:
For large amounts: Dike spillage. Pump off product. Pick up with suitable absorbent material.
For residues: Pick up with suitable absorbent material.
Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with regulations.
7. Handling and storage
Handling
Protection against fire and explosion:
Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. If exposed to fire, keep containers cool by
spraying with water.
Storage
Further information on storage conditions: Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated
place.

Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection:
Wear respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate. Gas filter EN141 Type A for gases/vapours of
organic compounds (boiling point >65 癈).
Hand protection:
Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN 374)
Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6,
corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374):
butyl rubber (butyl) - 0.7 mm coating thickness
fluoroelastomer (FKM) - 0.7 mm coating thickness
Supplementary note: The specifications are based on own tests, literature data and information of
glove manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions
(e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in
practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined in accordance with EN 374.
Eye protection:
Safety glasses with side-shields (frame goggles) (EN 166)
General safety and hygiene measures:
Avoid inhalation of vapour.

Ecotoxicity
Toxicity to fish:
OECD Guide-line 203 static
Brachydanio rerio/LC50 (96 h): > 100 mg/l
The details of the toxic effect relate to the nominal concentration.
Aquatic invertebrates:
OECD Guideline 202, part 1 static
Daphnia magna/EC50 (48 h): > 100 mg/l
The details of the toxic effect relate to the nominal concentration. The product has low solubility in
the test medium. An eluate has been tested. No toxic effects occur within the range of solubility.
Aquatic plants:
OECD Guideline 201 static
Desmodesmus subspicatus/EC50 (72 h): > 100 mg/l
The details of the toxic effect relate to the nominal concentration. The product has low solubility in
the test medium. An eluate has been tested.
