Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
    Small Spill        Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. If necessary: Neutralize    
    the residue with a dilute solution of acetic acid. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated
    surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements.
    Large Spill        Corrosive solid.    
    Stop leak if without risk. Do not get water inside container. Do not touch spilled material. Use water spray to
    disposal. Neutralize the residue with a dilute solution of acetic acid. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the
    contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system.
