SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal Precautions Ensure adequate ventilation. Use personal protective equipment as required. Environmental Precautions Should not be released into the environment. Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system. Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Methods for Containment and Clean Up Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal. Refer to protective measures listed in Sections 8 and 13. SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling Wear personal protective equipment/face protection. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Storage Corrosives area. Keep away from water or moist air. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Containers should be dated when opened and tested periodically for the presence of peroxides. Should crystals form in a peroxidizable liquid, peroxidation may have occurred and the product should be considered extremely dangerous. In this instance, the container should only be opened remotely by professionals. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Specific Use(s) Use in laboratories SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Control Parameters Legend ACGIH - American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists OSHA - Occupational Safety and Health Administration NIOSH: NIOSH - National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Monitoring methods BS EN 14042:2003 Title Identifier: Workplace atmospheres. Guide for the application and use of procedures for the assessment of exposure to chemical and biological agents. MDHS70 General methods for sampling airborne gases and vapours MDHS 88 Volatile organic compounds in air. Laboratory method using diffusive samplers, solvent desorption and gas chromatography MDHS 96 Volatile organic compounds in air - Laboratory method using pumped solid sorbent tubes, solvent desorption and gas chromatography MDHS 91 Metals and metalloids in workplace air by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry MDHS 99 Metals in air by ICP-AES Exposure Controls Engineering Measures Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting equipment. Wherever possible, engineering control measures such as the isolation or enclosure of the process, the introduction of process or equipment changes to minimise release or contact, and the use of properly designed ventilation systems, should be adopted to control hazardous materials at source. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 3 ``` ## Page 4 ```text ALFAA47240 SAFETY DATA SHEET Revision Date 04-Aug-2026Page 4 / 8 Cerium(IV) oxide, 20% in H2O, nanoparticle dispersion, high pH ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Personal protective equipment Eye Protection Goggles (European standard - EN 166) Hand Protection Protective gloves Glove material Breakthrough time Glove thickness EU standard Glove comments Nitrile rubber See manufacturers - EN 374 (minimum requirement) Viton (R) recommendations Natural rubber Neoprene PVC Butyl rubber Neoprene gloves Inspect gloves before use.
