Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Use in a chemical fume hood, with air supplied by an independent system. Avoid inhalation, contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid the formation of dust and aerosols. Use in a well-ventilated area. Keep away from sources of ignition. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure.
Store in cool, well-ventilated area. Keep away from direct sunlight. Keep container tightly sealed until ready for use. Store at room temperature.
Avoid inhalation, contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
Keep away from sources of ignition.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Use in a fume hood where applicable. Ensure all engineering measures described under section 7 of SDS are in place.
Face shield and safety glasses. Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU). Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166.
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN149 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
Wear appropriate protective clothing. Complete suit protecting against chemicals. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
