Personal precautions
: Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Do not breathe
mists, aerosols.
|
Personal protection
: Wear monogoggles, PVC gloves, safety shoes or boots |
chemical resistant.

For guidance on respiratory protection see Section 8.
Environmental precautions : Prevent from spreading or entering into drains, ditches or
rivers by using sand, earth, or other appropriate
barriers. Inform the local authorities if this cannot be
prevented.
Clean-up methods - small : Absorb or contain liquid with sand, earth or spill control
spillage
material. Shovel up and place in a labelled, sealable
container for subsequent safe disposal. Flush contaminated
area with plenty of water.
Clean-up methods - large : Transfer to a labelled, sealable container for product
spillage
recovery or safe disposal. Otherwise treat as for small
spillage.

EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Occupational exposure
: None established.
standards
Engineering
control measures
: Use local exhaust ventilation.
Hygiene measures
: Launder overalls and undergarments regularly. Dispose of
soiled gloves.
Respiratory protection
: If engineering controls do not maintain airborne
concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect
worker health, select Respiratory Protective Equipment
suitable for the specific conditions of use and meeting
relevant legislation. Check with Respiratory Protective
Equipment suppliers.
Where air-filtering respirators are unsuitable (e.g.
airborne concentrations are high, risk of oxygen
deficiency, confined space) use appropriate positive
pressure Breathing Apparatus.
Where air-filtering respirators are suitable, select an
appropriate combination of mask and filter, select a
filter suitable for combined particulate/organic gases and
vapours (Boiling Point >65 deg C)
Hand protection
: PVC gloves
Eye protection
: monogoggles
Body protection
: standard issue work clothes
If splashes are likely to occur, wear:
PVC apron
safety shoes or boots - chemical resistant
