Large spills:
Stop the leak if you can do so without risk. Remove container
from spill area. Flush spilled material into a wastewater treat-
ment plant. Contain spilled material using a non-combustible
absorbent (e.g. sand, soil, vermiculite, diatomaceous earth) and
collect in the containers provided. Disposal should be entrusted
to a recognized waste disposal company. Contaminated
absorbents can be just as dangerous.
Small spills:
Stop the leak if you can do so without risk. Remove container
from spill area. Dilute with water and mop up, or add absorbent
material and place the substance in a suitable container for dis-
posal. Disposal should be entrusted to a recognized waste dis-
posal company.
Handling:
Prevent contact with skin or clothing. Spilled and leaked product
must be prevented from coming into contact with soil and sur-
face waters. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Storage:
Keep containers tightly sealed. Keep containers in a cool, well-
ventilated area.
Unsuitable:
Avoid prolonged exposure to increased temperatures.
