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.

🏪 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: 0.4 mm Break through time: 480 min Material tested: Camatril® (KCL 730 / Aldrich Z677442, Size M) Splash contact Material: Nature latex/chloroprene Minimum layer thickness: 0.6 mm Break through time: 60 min Material tested: Lapren® (KCL 706 / Aldrich Z677558, 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.
