07

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Provide adequate ventilation. Avoid handling which leads to dust formation. Mechanical ventilation or local exhaust ventilation may be required.

Storage

Store in tightly-closed, original container in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Store at temperatures between 2°C and 25°C.

Hygiene

Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash at the end of each work shift and before eating, smoking and using the toilet. Take off contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Provide adequate ventilation. Use mechanical ventilation if there is a risk of handling causing formation of airborne dust.

Hands

Wear protective gloves. To protect hands from chemicals, gloves should comply with European Standard EN374. It is recommended that gloves are made of the following material: Nitrile rubber. Thickness: 0.11 mm Breakthrough time: > 480 minutes. The most suitable glove should be chosen in consultation with the glove supplier/manufacturer, who can provide information about the breakthrough time of the glove material.

Eyes

Wear tight-fitting, dust-resistant, chemical splash goggles if airborne dust is generated. Personal protective equipment for eye and face protection should comply with European Standard EN166.

Respiratory

If ventilation is inadequate, suitable respiratory protection must be worn. Wear a respirator fitted with the following cartridge: Particulate filter, type P2. Particulate filters should comply with European Standard EN143. Disposable filtering half mask respirators should comply with European Standard EN149 or EN405.

Skin/Body

Wear appropriate clothing to prevent skin contamination.
