SECTION 6: Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Personal precautions
Use personal protective equipment as required. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.

Environmental precautions

Environmental precautions
See Section 12 for additional Ecological Information. Prevent product from entering drains.
Should not be released into the environment. Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Methods for containment
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Methods for cleaning up
Use personal protective equipment as required. Cover powder spill with plastic sheet or tarp to minimize spreading and keep powder dry. Take up mechanically, placing in appropriate containers for disposal. Avoid creating dust. Clean contaminated surface thoroughly. Soak up with inert absorbent material. Dam up. Pick up and transfer to properly labeled containers.
