Ecological information (reference: 4, 5) |
The
product should not get into any kind of water without treatment. Dissolved
in water, the material is easily biodegradeable (90 per cent) and
will not cause any disturbance in waste water treatment plants. Due
to its insolubility in water, larger amounts need to be eliminated
by separators such as those typically used for fats and oils.

| Leak-and-spill
procedures |
: |
Sweep
up the liquid in dry sand and shovel into a closed container. |
| Disposal |
: |
Stored
waste / recovered material used for recycling along with crude oils. |
| 14.
Transport recommendation (reference: 4, 5) |
| No
special conditions since it is not a regulated product. However, one
should observe the usual precautionary measures for transporting chemicals. |
| 15.
