6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Personal Precautions: Ensure adequate ventilation. Use personal protective equipment. Avoid contact with skin, eyesand clothing. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Do not touch damagedcontainers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Do not get waterinside containers.

Environmental precautions Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Prevent product from enteringdrains. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Methods for containment Stop leak if you can do it without risk. In case of large spill, dike if needed. Dike farahead of liquid spill for later disposal.

Methods for cleaning up Dilute with water. Neutralize with Sodium carbonate or Sodium bicarbonate. Absorbspill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, dry sand or earth). Use appropriate tools toput the spilled material in a suitable chemical waste disposal container. Cleancontaminated surface thoroughly.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling

Technical Measures/Precautions:Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms. All equipment used when handling the product mustbe grounded. Keep away from incompatible materials.

Safe Handling Advice:Wear personal protective equipment. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Keep away from heat and sourcesof ignition. Do not ingest. Do not breathe vapors or spray mist. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygieneand safety practice.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Technical Measures/Storage Conditions:Hygroscopic. Protect from moisture. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Store at roomtemperature in the original container. May corrode metallic surfaces. Do not store in uncoated metallic containers.Store away from incompatible materials.

Incompatible Materials:Oxidizing agents. Bases. Metals. Reducing agents.

Potential Acute Health Effects

Potential Chronic HealthEffects

Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to anunconscious person. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention ifsymptoms appear.

Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water forat least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention immediately.

In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removingcontaminated clothing and shoes. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Cold water may be used.Washclothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention immediately.

Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediatemedical attention.

If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.Get medical attention immediately.

Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt orwaistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouthresuscitation. WARNING: It may be hazardous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouthresuscitation when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious or corrosive. Seek immediate medical attention.
