original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept
tightly closed when not in use. Empty containers retain product residue and can be
hazardous. Do not reuse container.
Storage : Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from
direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials
(see section 10) and food and drink. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready
for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright
to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment
to avoid environmental contamination.

8. Exposure controls/personal protection

Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits.
Recommended monitoring : If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal, workplace atmosphere
procedures or biological monitoring may be required to determine the effectiveness of the ventilation
or other control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory protective equipment.
Engineering measures : No special ventilation requirements. Good general ventilation should be sufficient to
control worker exposure to airborne contaminants. If this product contains ingredients
with exposure limits, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other
engineering controls to keep worker exposure below any recommended or statutory
limits.
Hygiene measures : Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before
eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Appropriate
techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Contaminated
work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Wash contaminated clothing
before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the
workstation location.
Personal protection
Respiratory : In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection. Respirator selection must
be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the
safe working limits of the selected respirator.
Hands : Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be
worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is
necessary. >8 hours (breakthrough time): Ethyl Vinyl Alcohol Laminate (EVAL), butyl
rubber
Eyes : Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk
assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists or
dusts.
Skin : Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being
performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling
this product.
Environmental exposure : Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they
controls comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some cases,
fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be
necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.

equipment for fire-fighters apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.

6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions : No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Avoid breathing vapor or mist.
Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is
inadequate. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8).
Environmental precautions : Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Methods for cleaning up : Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Approach release from
upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash
spillages into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain and collect
spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or
diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to local regulations
(see section 13). Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Contaminated
absorbent material may pose the same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see section

control worker exposure to airborne contaminants. If this product contains ingredients
with exposure limits, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other
engineering controls to keep worker exposure below any recommended or statutory
limits.
Hygiene measures : Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before
eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Appropriate
techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Contaminated
work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Wash contaminated clothing
before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the
workstation location.
Personal protection
Respiratory : In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection. Respirator selection must
be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the
safe working limits of the selected respirator.
Hands : Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be
worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is
necessary. >8 hours (breakthrough time): Ethyl Vinyl Alcohol Laminate (EVAL), butyl
rubber
Eyes : Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk
assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists or
dusts.
Skin : Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being
performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling
this product.
Environmental exposure : Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they
controls comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some cases,
fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be
necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
