Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Sodium Trimetaphosphate,STMP
Small Spill:
Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by
spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority
requirements.
Large Spill:
Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water
on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system. Be careful that the product is not
present at a concentration level above TLV. Check TLV on the MSDS and with local authorities.
