Safe Handling & Storage Procedures

Industrial handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace safety requirements

⚠️ Handling Precautions

• Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

• Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist.

• Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.

• Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.

🏪 Storage Conditions

• Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.
