Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Ensure adequate ventilation. Wear personal protective equipment/face protection. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Avoid dust formation.
Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Remove and wash contaminated clothing and gloves, including the inside, before re-use. Wash hands before breaks and after work.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
None under normal use conditions.
Protective gloves. Glove material types include Natural rubber, Butyl rubber, Nitrile rubber, Neoprene, PVC. Breakthrough time and glove thickness should be based on manufacturers' recommendations. EU standard: EN 374 (minimum requirement). Inspect gloves before use, observe instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time provided by the supplier. Gloves should be suitable for the task considering chemical compatibility, dexterity, operational conditions, user susceptibility (e.g., sensitisation effects), and specific local conditions such as danger of cuts, abrasion. Handle gloves with care avoiding skin contamination.
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) (European standard - EN 166)
No protective equipment is needed under normal use conditions. For large scale/emergency use: Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 136 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. Recommended Filter type: Particle filter. For small scale/Laboratory use: Maintain adequate ventilation. Recommended half mask: Valve filtering: EN405; or; Half mask: EN140; plus filter, EN 141.
Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing to prevent skin exposure.
