Chemtronics Electro-Wash PX ES110 - Manual (Page 4)

Electro-Wash® PX
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Shut off all ignition sources.
No flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Provide
adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put
on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8).
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion-proof equipment. Approach release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers,
water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash spillages into an effluent treatment
plant or proceed as follows. Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible,
absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and place in
container for disposal according to local regulations (see Section 13). Dispose of via a
licensed waste disposal contractor. Contaminated absorbent material may pose the
same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see Section 1 for emergency contact
information and Section 13 for waste disposal.
Environmental precautions
6. Accidental release measures
: Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Personal precautions :
Large spill :
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion-proof equipment. Dilute with water and mop up if water-soluble. Alternatively,
or if water-insoluble, absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste
disposal container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Small spill :
Methods for cleaning up
Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and approved area.
Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated
area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10) and food and drink. Eliminate
all ignition sources. Separate from oxidizing materials. Keep container tightly closed
and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully
resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers.
Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Eating, drinking and
smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and
processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking.
Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.
Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use. Do not get in eyes or on skin or
clothing. Do not ingest. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Use only with adequate
ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Do not enter
storage areas and confined spaces unless adequately ventilated. Keep in the original
container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly
closed when not in use. Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame or any other
ignition source. Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material
handling) equipment. Use non-sparking tools. Take precautionary measures against
electrostatic discharges. To avoid fire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during
transfer by grounding and bonding containers and equipment before transferring
material. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse
container.
