Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Ensure good ventilation/exhaustion at the workplace. Prevent formation of aerosols.
Store in a cool location. Keep container tightly sealed. Store in cool, dry conditions in well sealed receptacles.
The dried resin is combustible, similar to wood. Burning dry resin emits dense, black smoke. As latex, material is not combustible. Protect against electrostatic charges.
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. As the product is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application. 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 self-contained respiratory protective device.
