Other information: |
|
Take measures to prevent electrostatic charging. Prevent fire-fighting water from entering surface water or groundwater. |
| 6. Accidental release measures |
|
Person-related precautionary measures: Do not inhale vapours/aerosols. Ensure supply of fresh air in enclosed rooms. Procedures for cleaning / absorption: Take up with liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb® ). Forward for disposal. Clean up affected area. Environmental-protection measures: Do not allow to enter sewerage system; risk of explosion! |
| 7. Handling and storage |
| Handling: |
| Take measures to prevent electrostatic charging. |

| Personal protective equipment: | |
| Respiratory protection: | required when vapours/aerosols are generated. |
| Eye protection: | required |
| Hand protection: |
required Protective clothing should be selected specifically for the working place, depending on concentration and quantity of the hazardous substances handled. The resistance of the protective clothing to chemicals should be ascertained with the respective supplier. |
| Other protective equipment: | Flame-proof protective clothing. , Antistatic protective clothing. |
| Industrial hygiene: | Immediately change contaminated clothing. Apply skin- protective barrier cream. Wash hands and face after working with substance. |

|
The possibility of an embryotoxic effect has not yet been fully assessed. The information available to us suggests that the risk of an embryotoxic effect must be considered probable. Pregnant women should not be exposed to the product. Animal experiments suggest that the substance may lead to an impairment of reproductive performance also in man. |

| 13. Disposal considerations |
| Product: |
| There are no uniform EC Regulations for the disposal of chemicals or residues. Chemical residues generally count as special waste. The disposal of the latter is regulated in the EC member countries through corresponding laws and regulations. We recommend that you contact either the authorities in charge or approved waste disposal companies which will advise you on how to dispose of special waste. |
| Packaging: |
| Disposal in compliance with official regulations. Handle contaminated packaging in the same way as the substance itself. If not officially specified differently, non-contaminated packaging may be treated like household waste or recycled. |
