Revision date : 2012/06/07 Page: 3/7 Protective equipment for fire-fighting: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing. Further information: Dispose of fire debris and contaminated extinguishing water in accordance with official regulations. 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions: Avoid inhalation. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Environmental precautions: Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater. Cleanup: For small amounts: Pick up with suitable appliance and dispose of. For large amounts: Pick up with suitable appliance and dispose of. 7. Handling and Storage Handling General advice: Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas. Product tends to form lumps. Protection against fire and explosion: Prevent electrostatic charge - sources of ignition should be kept well clear - fire extinguishers should be kept handy. Storage General advice: Containers should be stored tightly sealed in a dry place. Storage stability: Storage temperature: 20 C Storage duration: 12 Months Tends to cake. From the data on storage duration in this safety data sheet no agreed statement regarding the warrantee of application properties can be deduced. 8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection Personal protective equipment Respiratory protection: Wear a NIOSH-certified (or equivalent) particulate respirator. Hand protection: Chemical resistant protective gloves Eye protection: Tightly fitting safety goggles (chemical goggles). Body protection: Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. apron, protecting boots, chemical-protection suit (according to EN 14605 in case of splashes or EN ISO 13982 in case of dust).
