6.2 Precautions for care of the environment:

Avoid pollution of the soil, water supplies and drains.

6.3 Methods for collection/cleaning:

Collect up with absorbent materials (Panreac General Absorbent, Kieselguhr, etc.) or, if none available, dry sand or earth, and deposit in waste containers for subsequent elimination in accordance with current legislation.

Handling and storage

7.1 Handling:

No special indications.

7.2 Storage:

Well sealed containers.In well ventilated premises.Away from sources of ignition and heat.

Staff exposure/protection controls

8.1 Technical protective measures:

Ensure good ventilation and renewal of the air in the premises.

8.2 Exposure limit control:

VLA-ED(ethanol): 1.000 ppm ó 1.910 mg/m3

8.3 Respiratory protection:

In the event of fumes forming/aerosols, use suitable respiratory protection. Filter A. Filter P.

8.4 Hand protection:

Use suitable gloves neopren nitrile PVC

8.5 Eye protection:

Use suitable goggles.

8.6 Individual hygiene measures:

Remove contaminated clothing. Wash hands before breaks and when the job is done.

8.7 Environmental exposure controls:

Fulfill the commitments under local environmental protection legislation.

Considerations regarding elimination

13.1 Substance or preparation:

In the European Union, there are no homogeneous standards established for elimination of chemical waste, which is waste of a special nature, and treatment and elimination of same is subject to the domestic legislation in each country.

In view of this, in each case, you should contact the competent authority or those companies legally authorized for elimination of waste.

2001/573/EC: Council Decision of 23 July 2001 amending Commission Decision 2000/532/EC as regards the list of wastes.Council Directive 91/156/EEC of 18 March 1991 amending Directive 75/442/EEC on waste.

.

13.2 Contaminated containers:

Contaminated containers and packaging of dangerous substances or preparations must be treated in the same manner as the actual products contained in them.

European Parliament and Council Directive 94/62/EC of 20 December 1994 on packaging and packaging waste.
