MANNOL AIR BRAKE ANTIFREEZE
Prepared according to Annex II of EC Regulation 1907/2006
- Prevent soil and water pollution
- Substance must not be discharged into the sewer
- Plug the leak, cut off the supply
- Dam up the liquid spill
- Try to reduce evaporation
- Recover methanol or dilute with water to reduce fire hazard
- Eliminate all ignition sources
- Fluorocarbon alcohol resistant foams may be applied to spill to diminish
vapour and fire hazard
- Maximize methanol recovery for recycling or reuse
- Collect liquid with explosion proof pumps
- For small spills: take up into non-combustible sorbent
- Reduce/avoid exposure and/or contact
- Keep container tightly closed
- No smoking or open flame
- Use spark-/explosionproof appliances and lighting system
- Take precautions against electrostatic charges
- Handle uncleaned empty containers as full ones
- Anhydrous methanol is non-corrosive to most metals at ambient temperatures
except lead and magnesium
- Coatings of copper (or copper alloys), zinc (including galvanized steel) or
aluminium are unsuitable for storage as they are attacked slowly
- Mild steel is the recommended construction material for tanks
- Keep away from heat- en ignition sources, oxidizers, acids, bases
- Store in a dry and well-ventilated area
- Store in totally enclose equipment
- Tanks must be grounded and vented and should have vapour emission controls
- Provide for a tub to collect spills
