6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill Response Notice:
Only persons properly qualified to respond to an emergency involving hazardous substances should respond
to a spill involving chemicals. See Section 13, Special Instructions for disposal assist ance.
Containment Technique: Stop spilled material from being released to the environment. Cover spilled solid
material with sand or other inert material.
Clean -up Technique: Scoop up spilled material into a large beaker and dissolve with water. Adjust to a pH
between 6 and 9 with an alkali, such as soda ash or sodium bicarbonate. Filter to remove solids. Flush reacted
material to the drain with a large excess of water.
Evacuation Procedure: Evacuate local area (15 foot radius or as directed by your facility's emergency
response plan) when: a pound or more of loose powder is spilled. If conditions warrant, increase the size of
the evacuation.
