Environmental precautions : Prevent product from entering drains.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform
respective authorities.
6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for cleaning up : Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece).
6.4 Reference to other sections
For personal protection see section 8
Handling and storage
7.1 Precautions for safe handling
Advice on safe handling : Avoid formation of respirable particles.
Do not breathe vapours/dust.
Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
For personal protection see section 8.
Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the application area.
Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms
Persons susceptible to skin sensitisation problems or asthma,
allergies, chronic or recurrent respiratory disease should not
be employed in any process in which this mixture is being
used.
Advice on protection against
fire and explosion
: Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust
is formed.
Hygiene measures : General industrial hygiene practice. Wash hands before
breaks and immediately after handling the product.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Requirements for storage
areas and containers
: Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated
place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Electrical installations / working materials must comply with the technological
safety standards. To maintain product quality, do not store in
heat or direct sunlight.
