SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES SMALL SPILL: Extract liquid with cleaning machine or absorb liquid on inert material such as paper, vermiculite, floor absorbent, and dispose of in accordance with local regulations. LARGE SPILL: Persons not wearing protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been completed. Stop spill at source, contain area of spill to prevent spreading, pump liquid to salvage tank. Remaining liquid may be absorbed with inert material such as sand, clay, earth, or floor absorbent, and shoveled into containers. Prevent run-off to sewers, streams, or other bodies of water. If run-off occurs, notify the proper authorities as required that a spill has occurred. MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET PRODUCT NAME: FLEX Page 3 of 5 SECTION 7.
