07

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Handle under dry protective gas. Keep container tightly sealed. Ensure good ventilation at the workplace. Open and handle container with care. Only handle and refill product in closed systems.

Storage

Refrigerate. Store under dry inert gas. This product is moisture sensitive. Keep container tightly sealed. Protect from humidity and water.

Fire prevention

Keep ignition sources away. Protect against electrostatic charges.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

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

Hands

Impervious gloves. Check protective gloves prior to each use for their proper condition. The selection of suitable gloves not only depends on the material, but also on quality. Quality will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Material of gloves Fluorocarbon rubber (Viton). Penetration time of glove material (in minutes) 480. Glove thickness 0.7 mm.

Eyes

Tightly sealed goggles. Full face protection.

Respiratory

Use self-contained respiratory protective device in emergency situations. Recommended filter device for short term use: Use a respirator with organic vapor/acid gas cartridges 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

Protective work clothing.
