minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Cold water may be
used. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.
Obtain medical attention immediately.
Eye Contact : Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately
flush eyes with a copious amount of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water
may be used. Obtain medical attention immediately.

6. Accidental release measures

Personal Precautions : Splash goggles. Full suit. Vapour respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self-contained
breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product.
Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist
BEFORE handling this product.
Environmental precautions and : Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate
cleanup methods waste disposal
Note: See section 8 for personal protective equipment and section 13 for waste disposal.

7. Handling and storage

Handling : Keep locked up. Keep container dry. Keep away from heat. Keep away from
sources of ignition. Empty containers pose a fire risk, evaporate the residue
under a fume hood. Do not ingest. Do not breathe gas/fumes/vapour/spray.
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. If
ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the
label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from incompatibles such
as reducing agents, metals, acids.
Storage : Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
