Dispose of rinse water in accordance with local and national regulations.
Persons susceptible to skin sensitisation problems or asthma, allergies, chronic or recurrent respiratory disease should not be employed in any process in which this mixture is being used.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion:

Normal measures for preventive fire protection.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Requirements for storage areas and containers:

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.
Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.
Electrical installations / working materials must comply with the technological safety standards.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Exposure controls

Exposure assessment: Exposures are dependent on the product being handled, the potential for chemical release, and any resulting airborne concentrations or dermal contact. Since product handling and release scenarios vary, and no two workplaces are exactly alike, it is recommended that the potential for exposure be assessed prior to the prod-uct’s use or introduction. Exposure assessments should be performed by an occupational hygienist, industrial hygienist, or other qualified occupational or environmental health professional. An exposure assessment should be conducted to determine the efficacy of any ventilation and the need for additional PPE. The PPE indicated below are recommendations for worst-case scenario exposures. An exposure assessment will identify more applicable measures to be implemented. EN and ANSI standards are mentioned in the following recommendations, consult equivalent local standards when required.
PPE is always the last resort to avoid exposure. In any case technical and organisational measures have to be explored and used prior to the selection of PPE. The PPE selection is for operators trained to work with chemicals according to good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Operators have to be trained on the use of PPE.

Engineering measures

Use engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, use the product only with adequate ventilation.

Personal protective equipment

Eye/face protection :

Use safety goggles tested according to EN 166/ ANSI Z87.1 or equivalent local standard.

Hand protection :

Use gloves when handling substance in open systems. Inspect gloves prior to use. Train operators for proper use.If only incidental exposure is expected: (work without direct contact to substance) use gloves tested according EN 16523- 1/ASTM F739 or equivalent local standard breakthrough times at least 10 minutes, tested for chemicals indicated in chapter 3 of this SDS. Change gloves frequently.
If direct skin contact is expected: use gloves tested according to EN 16523-1/ASTM F739 or equivalent local standard, tested for chemicals indicated in chapter 3 of this SDS.
Permeation time must exceed contact time.

Other skin protection :

Wear working clothes covering arms and legs.
The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the hazardous substance at the specific workplace. Use apron and sleeve covers or complete chemical suit if exposure is expected.

Respiratory protection :

Respiratory protection should be worn when workplace exposures exceed exposure limit requirements or guidelines.
If there are no applicable exposure limits or guidelines, use an approved respirator where there is a potential for adverse effects, including but not limited to respiratory irritation or odor, or where indicated by the exposure assessment. Selection of air-purifying or positive-pressure supplied-air will depend on the results of the exposure assessment which includes an evaluation of the specific operations and the potential airborne concentrations. For emergency conditions, use an approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.
In case a risk analysis proved the cartridge respirator as acceptable, use type:
ABEK-P3 (EN 14387) OR Combination Multi-gas/P100 (42CFR84.193; ANSI Z88.7 or equivalent local standard) as a backup to engineering controls.
In absence of engineering controls, use self-contained breathing apparatus or full face supplied air respirators.
Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as CEN (EU) or NIOSH 42 CFR 84(US).

Thermal hazards :

Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.

Hygiene measures :

Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.
Do not eat, drink or smoke during work.
Wash hands any time after handling the product.

Environmental exposure controls

General advice :

Prevent product from entering drains.
If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity

No decomposition if stored and applied as directed.

Chemical stability

No decomposition if stored and applied as directed.

Possibility of hazardous reactions

Hazardous reactions : No decomposition if stored and applied as directed.

Disposal considerations
