Methods and materials for <br />Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material. Should not be released into <br />containment and cleaning up <br />the environment. This product is miscible in water. Stop leak if possible without any risk. Dike the <br />spilled material, where this is possible. Clean up spills immediately by sweeping or shoveling up <br />the material. Do not return spilled material to the original container; transfer to a clean metal or <br />plastic drum. To clean up potassium permanganate solutions, follow either of the following two <br />options: <br />Option # 1: Dilute to approximately 6% with water, and then reduce with sodium thiosulfate, a <br />bisulfite or ferrous salt solution. The bisulfite or ferrous salt may require some dilute sulfuric acid <br />(10% w/w) to promote reduction. Neutralize with sodium carbonate to neutral pH, if acid was used. <br />Decant or filter and deposit sludge in approved landfill. Where permitted, the sludge may be <br />drained into sewer with large quantities of water. <br />Option # 2: Absorb with inert media like diatomaceous earth or inert floor dry, collect into a drum <br />and dispose of properly. Do not use saw dust or other incompatible media. Disposal of all <br />materials shall be in full and strict compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations <br />pertaining to permanganates. <br />To clean contaminated floors, flush with abundant quantities of water into sewer, if permitted by <br />federal, state, and local regulations. If not, collect water and treat as described above. <br />Never return spills in original containers for re -use. <br />Environmental precautions <br />Do not allow to enter drains, sewers or watercourses. Contact local authorities in case of spillage <br />to drain/aquatic environment. <br />7. Handling and storage <br />Precautions for safe handling <br />Take any precaution to avoid mixing with combustibles. Keep away from clothing and other <br />combustible materials. Do not get this material in your eyes, on your skin, or on your clothing. Do <br />not breathe dust or mist or vapor of the solution. If clothing becomes contaminated, remove and <br />wash off immediately. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Good personal hygiene is <br />necessary. Wash hands and contaminated areas with water and soap before leaving the work site. <br />Avoid release to the environment. <br />Conditions for safe storage, <br />Store locked up. Keep container tightly closed and in a well -ventilated place. Store in a cool, dry <br />including any incompatibilities <br />place. Store away from incompatible materials (See Section 10). Follow applicable <br />local/national/international recommendations on storage of oxidizers. Store in accordance with <br />NFPA 430 requirements for Class II oxidizers. <br />8.

Wear face shield if there is risk of splashes. <br />Skin protection <br />Hand protection <br />Use protective gloves made of: Rubber or plastic. Suitable gloves can be recommended by the <br />glove supplier. <br />Other <br />Wear chemical -resistant, impervious gloves. <br />
