Safety Data Sheet
Steps to Take in Case Material Is
Released or Spilled:
Exposure to the spilled material may be irritating or harmful. Follow personal protective
equipment recommendations found in Section 8 of this SDS. Additional precautions may be
necessary based on special circumstances created by the spill including; the material spilled,
the quantity of the spill, the area in which the spill occurred. Also consider the expertise of
employees in the area responding to the spill.
Prevent the spread of any spill to minimize harm to human health and the environment if safe
to do so. Wear complete and proper personal protective equipment following the
recommendation of Section 8 at a minimum. Dike with suitable absorbent material like
granulated clay. Gather and store in a sealed container pending a waste disposal evaluation.
