Safe Handling & Storage Procedures

Industrial handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace safety requirements

⚠️ Handling Precautions

• Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

• Avoid formation of dust and aerosols.

• Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed.

• 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.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment

🏭 Engineering Controls

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.

🧤 Hand Protection

Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands. Full contact Material: Nitrile rubber Minimum layer thickness: 0.11 mm Break through time: 480 min Material tested:Dermatril® (KCL 740 / Aldrich Z677272, Size M) Splash contact Material: Nitrile rubber Minimum layer thickness: 0.11 mm Break through time: 480 min Material tested:Dermatril® (KCL 740 / Aldrich Z677272, Size M) data source: KCL GmbH, D-36124 Eichenzell, phone +49 (0)6659 87300, e-mail [email protected], test method: EN374 If used in solution, or mixed with other substances, and under conditions which differ from EN 374, contact the supplier of the CE approved gloves. This recommendation is advisory only and must be evaluated by an industrial hygienist and safety officer familiar with the specific situation of anticipated use by our customers. It should not be construed as offering an approval for any specific use scenario.

👁️ Eye Protection

Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166 Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
