Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Ensure good ventilation/exhaustion at the workplace. Keep receptacles tightly sealed. Keep away from heat and direct sunlight. Prevent formation of aerosols. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Storage

Store in a cool location. Store only in the original receptacle. Keep container tightly sealed. Store in cool, dry conditions in well sealed receptacles.

Hygiene

For the general occupational hygienic measures refer to section 8.

Fire prevention

Keep ignition sources away - Do not smoke.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work. See Section 7 for information about design of technical facilities.

Hands

Protective gloves. The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/ the chemical mixture. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation. The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.

Eyes

Tightly sealed goggles

Respiratory

Suitable respiratory protective device recommended.

Environmental

Control measures must be made in accordance with Community environmental protection legislation.
