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.

Storage

Store in cool, dry place in tightly closed containers. Store under dry inert gas. This product is hygroscopic. This product is air sensitive. Keep container tightly sealed. Store in cool, dry conditions in well sealed containers. Protect from humidity and water.

Fire prevention

Substance/product can reduce the ignition temperature of flammable substances.

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: Nitrile rubber, NBR. Penetration time of glove material (in minutes): 480. Glove thickness: 0.11 mm.

Eyes

Tightly sealed goggles. Full face protection. Safety glasses with side shields / NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

Respiratory

Use suitable respirator when high concentrations are present. Use suitable respiratory protective device in case of insufficient ventilation. Recommended filter device for short term use: Use a respirator with type P100 (USA) or P3 (EN 143) 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.

Skin/Body

Protective work clothing.
