Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
No special precautions are necessary if used correctly. Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure. Keep away from sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharge.
Keep receptacle tightly sealed.
Keep away from sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharge.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
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.
Tightly sealed goggles
In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use respiratory protective device that is independent of circulating air.
