Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water.
Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages
cannot be contained.

c.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for cleaning up: Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitablecontainer for disposal.
Avoid dispersal of dust in the air (i.e., clearing dust surfaces
with compressed air).
Dust deposits should not be allowed to accumulate on
surfaces, as these may form an explosive mixture if they arereleased into the atmosphere in sufficient concentration.
Local or national regulations may apply to releases anddisposal of this material, as well as those materials and items
employed in the cleanup of releases. You will need todetermine which regulations are applicable.
Sections 13 and 15 of this SDS provide information regarding
certain local or national requirements.
