Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Keep container tightly closed. Ensure the area is well ventilated.
Keep only in the original container at a temperature not exceeding 30 °C. Protect from light. Fill the container by approximately 90 % only as oxygen (air) is required for stabilisation. With large storage containers make sure the oxygen (air) supply is sufficient to ensure stability. Can polymerize with intense heat release.
Keep away from sources of ignition --- No smoking. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. In the event of fire, cool the endangered containers with water.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
butyl rubber gloves (0.7 mm). Break through time 60 min (EN 374) In practice, due to variable exposure conditions, this information can only be an aid to orientation for the selection of a suitable chemical protection glove. In particular, this information does not substitute suitability tests by the end user. Gloves should be replaced regularly, especially after extended contact with the product. For each work-place a suitable glove type has to be selected.
tightly fitting goggles
Breathing apparatus in case of high concentrations
On handling of larger quantities: face mask, chemical-resistant boots and apron
