op
(Under fire conditions)
6) Accidental release measures
Environmental Precautions :- Prevent discharges into the environment (rivers, water courses, sewers etc.)
Methods for clean up :- Clear up spillages by suitable means, avoiding dust formation
:- Collect as much as possible in a suitable clean container, preferably for re-use, otherwise for disposal.
C

:- Wash the spillage area with large quantities of water.

7) Handling and storage
Handling :- Atmospheric levels should be controlled in compliance with the occupational exposure limit.
:- Skil protection should be worn for regular & continuous use.

Store in dry place at room temperature away from mositure (in humid condition the product will absorb moisture from the
d

Storage :-
atmosphere and this will eventually cause caking & loss of free flowing properties).
