Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear suitable protective clothing and eye/face protection. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Storage

Avoid extreme heat. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.

Hygiene

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Fire prevention

Sources of ignition should be kept well clear. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Provide local exhaust ventilation to control dust.

Hands

Chemical resistant protective gloves should be worn to prevent all skin contact., Suitable materials may include, nitrile rubber (Buna N), chloroprene rubber (Neoprene), polyvinylchloride (Pylox), Consult with glove manufacturer for testing data., Protective glove selection must be based on the user's assessment of the workplace hazards.

Eyes

Tightly fitting safety goggles (chemical goggles). Wear face shield if splashing hazard exists.

Respiratory

Wear a NIOSH-certified (or equivalent) particulate respirator. Do not exceed the maximum use concentration for the respirator facepiece/cartridge combination. For emergency or non-routine, high exposure situations, use a NIOSH-certified full facepiece pressure demand self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or a full facepiece pressure demand supplied-air respirator (SAR) with escape provisions. Observe OSHA regulations for respirator use (29 CFR 1910.134).

Skin/Body

Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. head protection, apron, protective boots, chemical-protection suit.
