SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

6.1. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS, PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES
In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance will all applicable regulations.

PROTECTIVE MEASURES
Avoid contact with spilled material. See Section 5 for fire fighting information. See Section 8 for advice on the
minimum requirements for personal protective equipment. See the Hazard Identification Section for Significant
Hazards. Additional protective measures may be necessary, depending on the specific circumstances and/or the
expert judgement of the emergency responders.
Small spills: normal antistatic work clothes are usually adequate.
Large spills: full body suit of chemical resistant, antistatic material is recommended.

6.2. ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS

Large spills: Dyke far ahead of liquid spill for later recovery and disposal. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers,
basements or confined areas.

6.3. METHODS AND MATERIAL FOR CONTAINMENT AND CLEANING UP

Land Spill: Remove all sources of ignition. Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Do not touch or walk through
spilled material. Water spray may reduce vapour, but may not prevent ignition in enclosed spaces. Absorb with
earth, sand or other non-combustible material and recover as much of the product itself as possible by such
methods as vacuuming, using an approved vacuum pump powered by a flame proof motor. Recover residual
fluids by use of absorbent materials. Remove contaminated items including contaminated soil and place in proper
containers for disposal.

Water Spill: Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Confine the spill immediately with booms. Remove from the
surface by skimming or with suitable absorbents.

6.4. REFERENCES TO OTHER SECTIONS

See Section 6.1.

SECTION 7: HANDLING & STORAGE

7.1. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING

Avoid contact with skin. Avoid contact with eyes. Prevent exposure to ignition sources, for example use non-
sparking tools and explosion-proof equipment. Prevent small spills and leakage to avoid slip hazard. Material can
accumulate static charges which may cause an electrical spark (ignition source). Use proper bonding and/or
ground procedures. However, bonding and grounds may not eliminate the hazard from static accumulation.
Consult local applicable standards for guidance.

Static Accumulator: This material is a static accumulator. A liquid is typically considered a nonconductive, static
accumulator if its conductivity is below 100 pS/m (100x10E-12 Siemens per meter) and is considered a
semiconductive, static accumulator if its conductivity is below 10,000 pS/m. Whether a liquid is nonconductive or
semiconductive, the precautions are the same. A number of factors, for example liquid temperature, presence of
contaminants, anti-static additives and filtration can greatly influence the conductivity of a liquid.

7.2. CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE, INCLUDING ANY INCOMPATIBILITIES

The container choice, for example storage vessel, may effect static accumulation and dissipation. Keep container
closed. Handle containers with care. Open slowly in order to control possible pressure release. Store in a cool,

8.2. EXPOSURE CONTROLS

ENGINEERING CONTROLS

The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary depending upon potential exposure conditions.
Control measures to consider: Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Adequate ventilation should be
provided whenever the material is heated or mists are generated.

PERSONAL PROTECTION

Personal protective equipment selections vary based on potential exposure conditions such as applications,
handling practices, concentration and ventilation. Information on the selection of protective equipment for use with
this material, as provided below, is based upon intended, normal usage.

Respiratory Protection: If engineering controls do not maintain airborne contaminant concentrations at a level
which is adequate to protect worker health, an approved respirator may be appropriate. Respirator selection, use,
and maintenance must be in accordance with regulatory requirements, if applicable. Types of respirators to be
considered for this material include:
Half-face filter respirator Type A filter material, European Committee for Standardization (CEN) standards EN
136, 140 and 405 provide respirator masks and EN 149 and 143 provide filter recommendations.

For high airborne concentrations, use an approved supplied-air respirator, operated in positive pressure mode.
Supplied air respirators with an escape bottle may be appropriate when oxygen levels are inadequate, gas/vapour
warning properties are poor, or if air purifying filter capacity/rating may be exceeded.

Hand Protection: Any specific glove information provided is based on published literature and glove manufacturer
data. Glove suitability and breakthrough time will differ depending on the specific use conditions. Contact the
glove manufacturer for specific advice on glove selection and breakthrough times for your use conditions. Inspect
and replace worn or damaged gloves.
If prolonged or repeated contact is likely, chemical-resistant gloves are recommended. If contact with forearms is
likely, wear gauntlet-style gloves. Nitrile, CEN standards EN 420 and EN 374 provide general requirements and
lists of glove types.

Eye Protection: If contact is likely, safety glasses with side shields are recommended.

Skin and Body Protection: Any specific clothing information provided is based on published literature or
manufacturer data. If prolonged or repeated contact is likely, chemical, and oil resistant clothing is recommended.

Specific Hygiene Measures: Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling
the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment
to remove contaminants. Discard contaminated clothing and footwear that cannot be cleaned. Practice good
housekeeping.

Many azo dyes have been found to be carcinogenic in laboratory animals, effecting the liver, urinary bladder and
intestines. Specific toxicity effects in humans have not been established but some dyes are known to be
mutagenic.

OTHER INFORMATION
For the product itself:
Vapour concentrations above recommended exposure levels are irritating to the eyes and the respiratory tract,
may cause headaches and dizziness, are anaesthetic and may have other central nervous system effects. Small
amounts of liquid aspirated into the lungs during ingestion or from vomiting may cause chemical pneumonitis or
pulmonary edema. Very high exposure (confined spaces / abuse) to light hydrocarbons may result in abnormal
heart rhythm (arrhythmias). Concurrent high stress levels and/or co-exposure to high levels of hydrocarbons
(above occupational exposure limits), and to heart-stimulating substances like epinephrine, nasal decongestants,
asthma drugs, or cardiovascular drugs may initiate arrhythmias.

of this substance from the environment.

Stability (Hydrolysis): Scientifically unjustified. The chemical constituents that comprise

hydrocarbons, C10 -C13, aromatics, >1% naphthalene consist entirely of
carbon and hydrogen and do not contain hydrolyzable groups. As such, they
have a very low potential to hydrolyze. Therefore, this degradative process
will not contribute to their removal from the environment.
