Conforming to Directive 1907/2006/EC
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1.
Personal precautions
Use personal protective equipment. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep unnecessary and unprotected
personnel from entering the area.

6.3
Clean-up procedures
Contain the spillage, soak up with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth,
vermiculite) and transfer to a container for disposal according to local / national regulations (see section 13).
Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. Dike the area of spill to prevent spreading and pump liquid to
salvage tank. Treat recovered material as described in section 13 Disposal considerations.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1.
Precautions for safe handling
Keep container tightly closed. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Spills
of these organic materials on hot fibrous insulations may lead to lowering of the auto-ignition temperatures
possibly resulting in spontaneous combustion.
7.2.
Conditions for safe storage
Keep only in the original container.
