6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet.

6.2 Environmental precautions: Dispose of in accordance with local regulations. The appropriate regulatory
body must be alerted to spillages or uncontrolled discharges to watercourses

6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Dike and contain spill. Do not allow spill to enter
drains, sewers or waterways, ground, plants and vegetation. Recover free liquid if possible. Absorb spillage
with inert material, floor absorbent, earth or sand and collect into appropriate containers.

7 HANDLING AND STORAGE

7.1 Precautions for safe handling: Avoid contact with skin or eyes. Otherwise, no particular precautions are
required in normal use. Practice normal industrial hygiene. Provide adequate ventilation. May present slip
hazard if spilt.

7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Keep containers closed to prevent
contamination when not in use. Do not store near heat, open flames or strong oxidants. Store containers in
an adequately ventilated area, protected against the sun (under a roof) and direct exposure to the weather
(rain, storms, etc.). Do not store the product at temperatures below its freezing point.

7.3 Specific end uses: Industrial uses (SU3); Use in closed, continuous process with occasional controlled
exposure (PROC2); Industrial use of substances in closed systems (ERC7); Washing and cleaning
products, including solvent based products (PC35). No Exposure Scenario is available for this mixture.

DNEL -Industry Inhalation Long Term 67.5 mg/m3
8.2 Exposure controls:
Wear suitable protective clothing, including eye/face protection and gloves.
Protective gloves must be used if there is a risk of direct contact or splash. Nitrile rubber offers best
long-term protection, be aware that the liquid may penetrate the gloves. Frequent change is advisable.
Manufactured/tested in accordance with EN 374.
If ventilation is insufficient, adequate respiratory protection must be provided. At work in confined or poorly
ventilated spaces, respiratory protection with air supply must be used. Where air-filtering respirators are
appropriate, select a mask & filter combination suitable for aerosols and vapours such as Type-A or Type A-
2, ABEK-2 in accordance with EN 141. Check that mask fits tight and change filter regularly.

11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

11.1 Information on toxicological effects:

Acute effects:
Inhalation: No significant signs or symptoms indicative of any health hazard are expected.
Ingestion: May cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
Skin contact: May cause drying of the skin and contact dermatitis.
Eye contact: May cause serious eye irritation.

Chronic effects: No experimental data are available on this preparation. Based on chronic toxicological
information on its components it is unlikely to pose a carcinogenic, mutagenic or reproductive toxicity risk to
humans if exposure is maintained at or below occupational limits.

12 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

12.1 Toxicity: The product has a low order of acute toxicity to aquatic species:
Acute toxicity of effluents and receiving waters to freshwater and marine organisms
according to EPA/600/4-90/027 "Methods for measuring" :
Cladoceran (Ceriodaphnia dubia) : 48 hours LC50 : 10 ppm
Fathead Minnows (Pimephales promelas) : 96 hours LC50 : 15 ppm

12.2 Persistence and degradability: The product is expected to degrade rapidly in the aquatic environment.
Product tested according to OECD-302B "Inherent biodegradability, modified Zahn-Wellens Test", exposed
to activated sludge of a municipal biological sewage waste water treatment plant under aerobic static
conditions. Based on individual dissolved organic carbon (DOC) determinations TURBOTECT 950 reached
a biodegradation of 99 % after 7 days, and at the end of this 28 day test, 88% of the organic carbon had
been transformed into CO2. TURBOTECT 950 showed no significant toxic effects to the activated sludge,
indicating no inhibition of the nitrifying micro-organisms.
Total organic carbon (TOC): 221 mg C /g TURBOTECT 950;
Chemical oxygen demand (COD): 747 mg O2/g TURBOTECT 950.
TURBOTECT 950 is therefore classified as easily biodegradable under the strict terms and conditions of the
OECD Guideline No. 302B. A copy of the relevant test report is available on request.

12.3 Bio-accumulative potential: The product has low potential for bioaccumulation.

12.4 Mobility in soil: no data available.

12.5 Results of PBT and vPvB assessment: Not Classified as PBT/vPvB by current EU criteria

12.6 Other adverse effects: The product is not a “VOC” (Volatile Organic Compound), the vapor pressure
(calculated) for the non-water components is <0.075 mm Hg / 20°C (<0.01 kPa).

13 DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

Waste is classified as hazardous waste. Disposal to licensed waste disposal site in accordance with the
local waste disposal authority.

13.1 Waste treatment methods: The product and effluent resulting from its use should not be released into
the environment. Dispose of in accordance with the European Directives on waste and hazardous waste.
Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
Empty containers may contain flammable or explosive vapours. Do not burn, or use a cutting torch on, the
empty drum. Empty containers should be taken to an approved waste handling site for recycling or disposal.
