6. Accidental Release Measures
Small Spills					Remove excess with absorbent material and flush residue with plenty of water.
Large Spills					Dyke ahead of liquid spill. Prevent the discharge of product into sewerage and water courses
General					When disposing large quantities, the alkaline nature of the product should be taken into consideration.
