PROTECTIVE MEASURES
Avoid contact with spilled material. See Section 5 for fire fighting information. See the Hazard
Identification Section for Significant Hazards. See Section 4 for First Aid Advice. See Section 8 for
advice on the minimum requirements for personal protective equipment. Additional protective measures
may be necessary, depending on the specific circumstances and/or the expert judgment of the emergency
responders.
6.2. ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Large Spills: Dyke far ahead of liquid spill for later recovery and disposal. Prevent entry into waterways,
sewers, basements or confined areas.
6.3. METHODS AND MATERIAL FOR CONTAINMENT AND CLEANING UP
Land Spill:
Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Recover by pumping or with suitable absorbent.
Water Spill:
Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Confine the spill immediately with booms. Warn other
shipping. Remove from the surface by skimming or with suitable absorbents. Seek the advice of a specialist
before using dispersants.
Water spill and land spill recommendations are based on the most likely spill scenario for this material;
however, geographic conditions, wind, temperature, (and in the case of a water spill) wave and current direction
and speed may greatly influence the appropriate action to be taken. For this reason, local experts should be
consulted. Note: Local regulations may prescribe or limit action to be taken.
6.4. REFERENCES TO OTHER SECTIONS
See Sections 8 and 13.
SECTION 7
HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING
Prevent small spills and leakage to avoid slip hazard. Material can accumulate static charges which may
cause an electrical spark (ignition source). When the material is handled in bulk, an electrical spark could
ignite any flammable vapors from liquids or residues that may be present (e.g., during switch-loading
operations). Use proper bonding and/or earthing procedures. However, bonding and earthing may not
eliminate the hazard from static accumulation. Consult local applicable standards for guidance. Additional
references include American Petroleum Institute 2003 (Protection Against Ignitions Arising out of Static,
Lightning and Stray Currents) or National Fire Protection Agency 77 (Recommended Practice on Static
Electricity) or CENELEC CLC/TR 50404 (Electrostatics - Code of practice for the avoidance of hazards due to
static electricity).
Static Accumulator:
This material is a static accumulator.
7.2. CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE, INCLUDING ANY INCOMPATIBILITIES
The container choice, for example storage vessel, may effect static accumulation and dissipation. Do not
store in open or unlabelled containers.
7.3. SPECIFIC END USES:
Section 1 informs about identified end-uses. No industrial or sector specific guidance
available.
