Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES<br />
MINOR SPILLS<br />
■ - Clean up all spills immediately.<br />
- Avoid breathing vapours and contact with skin and eyes.<br />
MAJOR SPILLS<br />
■ - Remove leaking cylinders to a safe place.<br />
- Fit vent pipes. Release pressure under safe, controlled conditions.<br />
- DO NOT exert excessive pressure on valve; DO NOT attempt to operate damaged valve.<br />
- Clear area of personnel and move upwind.<br />
- Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.<br />
Personal Protective Equipment advice is contained in Section 8 of the <strong>MSDS</strong>.<br />
Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE<br />
PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING<br />
■ - Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation.<br />
- Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs.<br />
SUITABLE CONTAINER<br />
■ - DO NOT use aluminium or galvanised containers.<br />
- Aerosol dispenser.<br />
- Check that containers are clearly labelled.<br />
STORAGE INCOMPATIBILITY<br />
■ Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (2-butoxyethanol) and its acetate:<br />
- May form unstable peroxides in storage<br />
- is incompatible with oxidisers, permanganates, peroxides, ammonium persulfate, bromine dioxide, nitrates, strong acids, sulfuric acid, nitric acid,<br />
perchloric acid.<br />
Methylene chloride<br />
- is a combustible liquid under certain circumstances even though there is no measurable flash point and it is difficult to ignite<br />
- its is flammable in ambient air in the range 12-23%; increased oxygen content can greatly enhance fire and explosion potential.<br />
Haloalkanes:<br />
- are highly reactive:some of the more lightly substituted lower members are highly flammable; the more highly substituted may be used as fire<br />
suppressants, not always with the anticipated results.<br />
- may react with the lighter divalent metals to produce more reactive compounds analogous to Grignard reagents.<br />
- Segregate from alcohol, water.<br />
- Compressed gases may contain a large amount of kinetic energy over and above that potentially available from the energy of reaction produced by the<br />
gas in chemical reaction with other substances.<br />
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS<br />
■ - Keep dry to avoid corrosion of cans. Corrosion may result in container perforation and internal pressure may eject contents of can.<br />
