SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Small Spill and Leak: Comply with all applicable health and environmental regulations.
Eliminate all sources of ignition. Collect product in a manner which reduces or
eliminates dust; such as vaccumming or wetting spilt product (take caution as clay
becomes a slippery hazard when wet). Place collected material in an appropriate
container.
Complete personal protective equipment must be used during cleanup.
Large Spills and Leaks: Shut off leak if safe to do so. Dike and contain spill. Remove to storage or salvage
vessel.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Store cool at a constant temperature. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flames
Minimum: 1oC Maximum: 40oC.
Storage: Steel tins
Other Precautions: Use only with adequate ventilation. Do not take internally. Keep out of reach of
children. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and breathing of dust. Wash hands
thoroughly after handling, especially before eating or smoking. Keep containers tightly
closed and upright when not in use. Avoid conditions which result in formation of
inhalable particles. If such conditions cannot be avoided, use appropriate respiratory
protection as directed under Exposure Control/Personal Protection. Empty containers
may contain residues.
