Section 5 : Protective Measures, Storage And Handling
| 6.1 | Technical protective measures Keep the container tightly closed in a well-ventilated place and away from sources of ignition. Do not store together with peroxides. |
| 6.2 | Personal Protective equipment : N/A Respiratory Protection : N/A Eye Protection : Protecting glasses Hand Protection : Neoprene gloves Other : Minimize breathing vapor; avoid prolonged contact with skin |
| 6.3 | Industrial hygiene : Keep away from foodstuffs, drinks, and animal feed. Take off contaminated, saturated clothing, shoes immediately. Wash hands before work breaks and at the end of working. |
| 6.4 | Protection against fire and explosion : Do not smoke. Keep sources of ignition such as heat spark. Take measures against the build-up electrostatic charges. |
| 6.5 | Disposal Take into consideration the local authority regulation on incineration |
Section 6 : Measures In Case Of Accidents And Fires
| 6.1 | After spillage/leakage/gas leakage Take up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, kieselgur) and do not allow to get into drains. Provide for sufficient ventilation. Eliminate all sources of Ignition (flares, flames, electrical sparks etc) |
| 7.2 | Extinguishing media suitable foam, Carbon dioxide, water spray (fog), dry chemical, vaporizing liquid type extinguisher may be suitable for extinguishing fires. Not to be used : Water in a jet |
| 7.3 | First aid In case of skin contact, wash off immediately with plenty of water and soap. Remove saturated clothing. In case of eye contact rinse away thoroughly with water and consult a doctor. In case of swallowing, consult a doctor. |
| 7.4 | Additional information In case of a fire, the smoke contains metal oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbon etc. |
Section 7 : Information On Toxicity
+ acute toxicity of mineral spirit (experiments with rats)
- oral LD 50 > 6000 mg/kg
- percutaneous LD 50 > 3000 mg/kg
- inhalation LD 50 >4 hours in a saturated atmosphere
- acute oral toxicity of a similar Cobalt soap : LD 50 (rat-oral) = 3900 mg/kg (NIOSH –19777)
- sensitizing of the skin, due to Cobalt may occur.
Section 8 : Information On Ecological Effects
Inhibition or deactivation of the activated sludge of a sewage system is possible, depending on the quantity of product entering the system. The metal soap can be eliminated from wastewater by an oil and fat separator and a flocculation precipitation system.
Section 9 : Additional Information
