Safe Handling & Storage Procedures

Industrial handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace safety requirements

⚠️ Handling Precautions

• Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

• Avoid all sources of ignition: heat, sparks, open flame.

• Ground all transfer equipment properly to prevent electrostatic discharge.

🏪 Storage Conditions

• Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place.

🔥 Fire Prevention Measures

Avoid all sources of ignition: heat, sparks, open flame. Ground all transfer equipment properly to prevent electrostatic discharge.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment

🧤 Hand Protection

Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN ISO 374-1). Suitable materials for short-term contact (recommended: At least protective index 2, corresponding > 30 minutes of permeation time according to EN ISO 374-1) butyl rubber (butyl) - 0.7 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

Wear respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate. 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).

🌍 Environmental Exposure Controls

All appropriate measures must be taken to prevent the release of this product to the environment and to limit the dispersion of any release when it occurs. Suitable risk management measures should be in place.
