07

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Handle so as not to create dust. Ceramic materials are brittle; care must be taken to prevent cracking or unsafe conditions may occur in contact with molten metal.

Storage

Keep product dry.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Machining or grinding can result in dust that may contain crystalline silica (SiO₂). Use local exhaust ventilation to control dust below exposure limits.

Hands

Abrasive resistant gloves.

Eyes

Safety glasses with full side shields or goggles.

Respiratory

NIOSH-approved respirator is recommended if PEL’s or TLV’s are exceeded.

Skin/Body

Abrasive resistant gloves.
