6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions,
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep upwind. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled
protective equipment and
material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Avoid inhalation of vapors and contact with
emergency procedures
skin and eyes. Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. Local
authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.
Methods and materials for
Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material. Should not be released into
containment and cleaning up
the environment. This product is miscible in water. Stop leak if possible without any risk. Dike the
spilled material, where this is possible. Clean up spills immediately by sweeping or shoveling up
the material. Do not return spilled material to the original container; transfer to a clean metal or
plastic drum. To clean up potassium permanganate solutions, follow either of the following two
options:
Option # 1: Dilute to approximately 6% with water, and then reduce with sodium thiosulfate, a
bisuiflte or ferrous salt solution. The bisulflte or ferrous salt may require some dilute sulfuric acid
(10% w/w) to promote reduction. Neutralize with sodium carbonate to neutral pH, if acid was used.
Decant or filter and deposit sludge in approved landfill. Where permitted, the sludge may be
drained into sewer with large quantities of water.
Option # 2: Absorb with inert media like diatomaceous earth or inert floor dry, collect into a drum
and dispose of properly. Do not use saw dust or other incompatible media. Disposal of all
materials shall be in full and strict compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations
pertaining to permanganates.
To clean contaminated floors, flush with abundant quantities of water into sewer, if permitted by
federal, state, and local regulations. If not, collect water and treat as described above.
Never return spills in original containers for re -use. For waste disposal, see Section 13 of the SIDS.
Environmental precautions
Do not allow to enter drains, sewers or watercourses. Contact local authorities in case of spillage
to drain/aquatic environment.
7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Take any precaution to avoid mixing with combustibles. Do not get this material in your eyes, on
your skin, or on your clothing. Do not breathe dust or mist or vapor of the solution. Use personal
protective equipment as recommended in Section 8 of the SIDS. If clothing becomes
contaminated, remove and wash off immediately. Spontaneous ignition may occur in contact with
cloth or paper. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Good personal hygiene is necessary.
Wash hands and contaminated areas with water and soap before leaving the work site. Avoid
release to the environment.
Conditions for safe storage,
Store locked up. Keep container tightly closed and in a well -ventilated place. Store in a cool, dry
including any incompatibilities
place. Store away from incompatible materials (See Section 10). Store in accordance with NFPA
430 requirements for Class II oxidizers.
