General fire hazards No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted. 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions, Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep out of protective equipment and low areas. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not touch emergency procedures damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. Methods and materials for Large Spills: This material is classified as a water pollutant under the Clean Water Act and should containment and cleaning up be prevented from contaminating soil or from entering sewage and drainage systems which lead to waterways. Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Cover with plastic sheet to prevent spreading. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. Following product recovery, flush area with water. Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination. Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS. Environmental precautions Avoid release to the environment. Inform appropriate managerial or supervisory personnel of all environmental releases. Contact local authorities in case of spillage to drain/aquatic environment. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.

Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling Do not get this material in contact with eyes. Do not taste or swallow. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Avoid release to the environment. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Conditions for safe storage, Store in original tightly closed container. Keep container tightly closed. Store away from including any incompatibilities incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS). 8. Exposure controls/personal protection Occupational exposure limits No exposure limits noted for ingredient(s). Biological limit values No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s). Appropriate engineering Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates controls should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Provide eyewash station. Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) and a face shield. Skin protection Hand protection Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Other Wear suitable protective clothing. Respiratory protection In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Respiratory protection not required. Thermal hazards Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary. General hygiene Keep away from food and drink. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as considerations washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants. 9. Physical and chemical properties Appearance Powder. Physical state Solid. Form Solid. Color White Odor Not available.
