Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for containmentPrevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Methods for cleaning up
Dam up. Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust). Pick up and transfer to properly labeled containers. Take up mechanically, placing in appropriate containers for disposal. After cleaning, flush away traces with water.
Precautions for safe handling
Advice on safe handlingEnsure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Keep away from heat, sparks, flame and other sources of ignition (i.e., pilot lights, electric motors and static electricity).
Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Use only with adequate ventilation and in closed systems. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Corrosive hazard. Wea protective gloves/clothing and eye/face protection.
