Further information:
Remove product from areas of fire, or otherwise cool containers with water in order to avoid pressure build up
due to heat. The degree of risk is governed by the burning substance and the fire conditions. Contaminated
extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with official regulations.
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions:
Use personal protective clothing. Do not breathe vapour/aerosol/spray mists. Sources of ignition should be
kept well clear. Handle in accordance with good building materials hygiene and safety practice.
Environmental precautions:
Contain contaminated water/firefighting water. Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater.
Cleanup:
For small amounts: Pick up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, earth etc.). Dispose of contaminated
material as prescribed.
For large amounts: Pump off product.
7. Handling and storage
Handling
General advice:
Avoid aerosol formation. Avoid inhalation of mists/vapours. Avoid skin contact. No special measures
necessary provided product is used correctly.
Protection against fire and explosion:
Keep away from heat. Prevent electrostatic charge - sources of ignition should be kept well clear - fire
extinguishers should be kept handy.
Storage
General advice:
Keep only in the original container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from ignition sources, heat or
flame. Protect from direct sunlight. Store protected against freezing.
Storage incompatibility:
General: Segregate from metals. Segregate from lyes. Segregate from oxidants. Segregate from foods and
animal feeds.

Hand protection:
Wear chemical resistant protective gloves., Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of
great diversity of types.
Eye protection:
Tightly fitting safety goggles (chemical goggles).
Body protection:
Body protection must be chosen based on level of activity and exposure.
General safety and hygiene measures:
Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. In order to prevent contamination while handling, closed
working clothes and working gloves should be used. Handle in accordance with good building materials
hygiene and safety practice. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Hands and/or face should be washed
before breaks and at the end of the shift. At the end of the shift the skin should be cleaned and skin-care
agents applied. Gloves must be inspected regularly and prior to each use. Replace if necessary (e.g. pinhole
leaks).
