6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions — Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Prevent
eye contact.
Environmental Precautions — Avoid release to the environment.
Methods for Containment and Clean Up — Eliminate sources of ignition. Contain or absorb
in sand, earth, vermiculite or other inert material (clay, sawdust), place in a container for
chemical waste, and dispose in compliance with all pertinent regulatory requirements.
Large spillages: flush spill area with water spray. Prevent runoff from entering drains,
sewers, or streams. Dike the spill areas for later waste disposal.
Notification Procedure — In the event of a large spill or accidental release, notify
relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable regulations.

7. Handling and Storage

Containers — Keep the material in tightly closed, clearly labeled containers in a dry, cool
and well-ventilated place.
Storage Areas — Ensure no electrostatic hazards exist, otherwise proper grounding
procedures are required. Store at ambient temperature.
Segregation — No special precautions.
Handling — Wear personal protective equipment. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing.
Do not ingest. Do not breathe vapours or spray mist. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash
thoroughly after handling.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Exposure Guidelines
Engineering Measures — Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should
be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process
enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels
below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain
[Link]

airborne levels to an acceptable level.

Personal Protective Equipment

General Information — If exposed use eyewash stations or washing and safety shower facilities
to wash off product.
Eye/Face Protection — Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles
as described by OSHA’s eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
Standard EN166.

 Dirt Magnet®
Skin/Body Protection — Wear chemical-resistant gloves, footwear, and protective clothing
appropriate for the risk of exposure. Contact health and safety professional or manufacturer
for specific information.
Respiratory Protection — Use NIOSH/OSHA-approved respirator if vapour concentration
exceeds exposure limit of 270 mg/cu.m.
Hygiene Measures — Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
