Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is
possible. Cover with plastic sheet to prevent spreading. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth
and place into containers. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas.
Following product recovery, flush area with water.
Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to
remove residual contamination.
Never return spills in original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Sodium hypochlorite (bleach) or other strong oxidizers can be used in clean-up decontamination
operations. Contaminated surfaces should be washed with water, then bleach or other oxidizing
solution, followed by another water wash.
Environmental precautions Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.
7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling No special control measures required for the normal handling of this product. Avoid prolonged
exposure. Observe good industrial hygiene practices.
Conditions for safe storage,
including any incompatibilities
