6.1.2 For emergency responders : Wear protective equipment. Protect the eyes, skin and mucous membranes from
the exposure. Take all necessary precautions if slippery action on the ground occurs.
6.2 Environmental precautions : Keep away from drains, surface and ground water and soil. Do not allow
material to be released to the environment without proper official permits. See section 13 for disposal.
6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
6.3.1 For containment : No special measure is required. Material itself is coagulant with basic character. For
containment sand or soil will be enough. It is suggested to keep sufficient containment material on site.
6.3.2 For cleaning up : Following the clean up, flush the area with water to get rid of slippery action. Do not use
solvents for cleaning. Ventilate area after cleaning. Wash water does not cause any harm on industrial water
treatment facilities. İn case of biological water treatment systems, dilution with water is recommended.
Amount of dilution, in order to overcome the effect on the activated sludge, varies w.r.to the structure of the
biological treatment systems.
6.3.3 Other information : In case of long term exposures, irritation may develop on skin, eye and mucous
membranes. If spillage forms pond, access to this spill site should be prevented up to the total cleaning-disposal
of this spill.
6.4 Reference to other sections : See sections 7-8 and section 13
7. Handling and storage
7.1 Precautions for safe handling
7.1.1 Protective measures
Measures to prevent fire : There are no fire or explosion hazards of the material. No special measures
required to prevent fire.
Measures to prevent aerosol and dust generation : The packaging should not have leaks, keep containers
tightly closed. In case of deformed packaging, make handling after spill control. Use PPE during handling and
usage.
Measures to protect the environment : Keep away from drains, surface and ground water and soil. Do not
allow material to be released to the environment without proper official permits.
7.1.2 Advice on general occupational hygiene : Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in application
areas. Avoid spillage and migration of material on wheels. Wash hands thoroughly after use and handling.
Remove contaminated clothing and personal protective equipment before entering the eating areas.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Technical measures and storage conditions : Do not store together with acids and oxidizing agents. The
solutions of aluminium compounds may hydrolyze. PACS of ACH Ltd has low tendency to hydrolyze.
Prevent contact with chlorites, hypochlorites, sulfites. Incompatible also with Iron salts, aluminium sulfate and
other polyaluminium salts. Necessary precautions should be taken in order to prevent mixing with these
incompatible materials PACS should not be stored together with all of the incompatible material listed above.
Packaging materials : PACS may cause reaction and corrosion on the surface of some metals (Aluminium,
copper, zinc, and alloys of these , galvanized metals). Therefore plastic (PE, PVC, PP etc.) or fiberglass
containers should be used.
Requirements for storage rooms and vessels : Store in well ventilated storage rooms. Even though this
material is classified as non-hazardous for transportation, it is recommended to take necessary general
precautions for transportation. It can be transported as bulk liquid in the plastic containers (IBC). It should be
kept in its original containers in the storage area and spill should be prevented.
