6. Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8).
6.2. Environmental precautions
Do not allow spills to enter drains or waterways.
Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet. Promptly remove
soiled clothing and wash thoroughly before reuse.
6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Contain spill as quickly as possible. Keep flowing material away from heat, sparks, or open flames. Do not smoke
near a spill. Use clay (Oil Dry™), sand, earth, etc. to absorb the spill. Put material into a suitable steel drum which
can be closed securely.
7. Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
The requirements of the Highly Flammable Liquids and Liquefied Petroleum Gases Regulations apply if the flashpoint
is between 21°C and 32°C.
See section 2 for further details. - [Prevention]:
7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Store in cool, dry area, away from heat, sparks and naked flames.
Keep containers sealed when not in use.
Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a dry ventilated area. Maintain package labeling during storage.
Incompatible materials: Strong oxidizing agents
Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along the ground or be moved by ventilation to locations distant from the
point of material handling. To prevent fumes from entering buildings or confined areas, close all air intake sources
near the material handling or the work area. To prevent ignition, avoid smoking, keep away from heat, open flames
and sources of static or electrical sparking. Use explosion proof motors and equipment. Tank trucks or other
containers should be grounded and/or bonded when the material is transferred.
Avoid prolonged or repeated inhalation of vapors or spray mists. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact. Adhere to
good hygienic practices. Avoid open flames. Use with adequate ventilation.
Store in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight and away from heat, sparks, and flame.
See section 2 for further details. - [Storage]:
7.3. Specific end use(s)
Health studies have shown that many petroleum hydrocarbons pose potential human health risks which may vary
from person to person. As a precaution, exposure to liquids, vapors, mists or fumes should be minimized.
