Safe Handling & Storage Procedures

Industrial handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace safety requirements

⚠️ Handling Precautions

• Keep container tightly sealed.

• Store in cool, dry place in tightly closed containers.

• Ensure good ventilation at the workplace.

• Open and handle container with care.

🏪 Storage Conditions

• Store in a cool location.

• Store in the dark.

• Store away from oxidizing agents.

• Keep container tightly sealed.

• Store in cool, dry conditions in well sealed containers.

• Protect from exposure to light.

🔥 Fire Prevention Measures

Protect against electrostatic charges. Fumes can combine with air to form an explosive mixture. Keep ignition sources away.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment

🏭 Engineering Controls

Properly operating chemical fume hood designed for hazardous chemicals and having an average face velocity of at least 100 feet per minute.

🧤 Hand Protection

Impervious gloves made of Butyl rubber (BR). Glove thickness 0.3 mm. Penetration time of glove material 480 minutes. Check protective gloves prior to each use for their proper condition. The selection of suitable gloves depends on material and quality, which varies by manufacturer.

👁️ Eye Protection

Tightly sealed goggles.

😷 Respiratory Protection

Use self-contained respiratory protective device in emergency situations. Recommended filter device for short term use: Use a respirator with multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) as a backup to engineering controls. Risk assessment should be performed to determine if air-purifying respirators are appropriate. Only use equipment tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (USA) or CEN (EU).

🦺 Skin/Body Protection

Protective work clothing.
