For any continued discomfort/discoloration get professional medical attention.
Section VII ?? Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
Steps in Case of Contain. Wear protective gear. Collect, using suitable absorbent if needed. Flush residuals to the drain
Released/Spill for normal biological wastewater treatment. Put collected material into suitable containers for proper
disposal. Exercise caution in spill area as spilled material creates very slippery conditions.
Waste Disposal Incinerate according to applicable regulations. Diluted liquid form may be flushed with water to
Method normal wastewater treatment in accordance with Local, State/Provincial and Federal regulations.
Precautions to be Contains surfactants, handle as eye and skin irritant. Gloves and goggles are recommended when
Taken in Handling/ handling the concentrate. Avoid inhalation of vapors/mist forms. Do not ingest.
Storage
Other Precautions Exercise caution with spilled product as very slippery conditions, especially in contact with water,
are created. Prevent release of concentrate to waterways.
