Safe Handling & Storage Procedures
Industrial handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace safety requirements
⚠️ Handling Precautions
• The substance/ product may be handled only by appropriately trained personnel.
• Facility parts must be checked for polymer residues and cleaned on regular basis in order to avoid hazardous reactions.
• Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas.
• Encapsulation or exhaust ventilation required.
• When filling, transferring, or emptying of containers, adequate local exhaust ventilation is necessary.
• Vent waste air to atmosphere only through suitable separators.
• Check the condition of seals and connector screw threads.
• The temperatures which must be avoided are to be considered.
• Protect against heat.
• Protect from direct sunlight.
• Protect contents from the effects of light.
• Do not open warm or swollen product containers.
• Remove persons to safety and alert fire brigade.
• Ensure adequate inhibitor and dissolved oxygen level.
• Avoid inhalation of dusts/mists/vapours.
• Avoid aerosol formation.
• Avoid all direct contact with the substance/product.
🏪 Storage Conditions
• Storage temperature: < 35 ℃.
• Avoid prolonged storage.
• This product should be processed as soon as possible.
🧼 General Hygiene Measures
Ensure adequate inhibitor and dissolved oxygen level.
🔥 Fire Prevention Measures
Avoid all sources of ignition: heat, sparks, open flame.
Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🧤 Hand Protection
Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN ISO 374-1): butyl rubber (butyl) - 0.7 mm coating thickness nitrile rubber (NBR) - 0.4 mm coating thickness. Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types. Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.
👁️ Eye Protection
Safety glasses with side-shields (frame goggles) (e.g. EN 166)
😷 Respiratory Protection
Suitable respiratory protection for lower concentrations or short-term effect: Gas filter for gases/vapours of organic compounds (boiling point >65 ℃, e. g. EN 14387 Type A)
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. apron, protecting boots, chemical-protection suit (according to EN 14605 in case of splashes or EN ISO 13982 in case of dust).

⚠️ Hazardous Reactions
Explosion and fire hazard exists under confined conditions. Ignitable air mixtures can form when the product is heated above the flash point and/or when sprayed or atomized. Formation of explosive gas/air mixtures. Polymerization coupled with heat formation. Risk of spontaneous polymerization by oxygen depletion of the liquid phase. Risk of spontaneous polymerization when heated or in the presence of UV radiation. Risk of spontaneous and violent self-polymerization if inhibitor is lost or product is exposed to excessive heat. Polymerization produces gases which may burst closed or confined containers. Reactions may cause ignition. Risk of spontaneous polymerization in the presence of starters for radical chain reactions (e.g. peroxides). Reacts with nitric acid. Risk of spontaneous polymerization in the presence of oxidizing agents. Hazardous reactions in presence of mentioned substances to avoid.
🚫 Conditions to Avoid
