Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Work under hood. Do not inhale substance/mixture. Avoid generation of vapours/aerosols. Observe label precautions.

Storage

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.

Hygiene

Immediately change contaminated clothing. Apply preventive skin protection. Wash hands and face after working with substance.

Fire prevention

Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharge.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Technical measures and appropriate working operations should be given priority over the use of personal protective equipment. See section 7.1.

Hands

full contact: Glove material: Viton (R), Glove thickness: 0,70 mm, Break through time: > 480 min; splash contact: Glove material: Nitrile rubber, Glove thickness: 0,40 mm, Break through time: > 30 min. The protective gloves to be used must comply with the specifications of EC Directive 89/686/EEC and the related standard EN374, for example KCL 890 Vitoject® (full contact), KCL 730 Carnatril® -Velours (splash contact). This recommendation applies only to the product stated in the safety data sheet, supplied by us and for the designated use. When dissolving in or mixing with other substances and under conditions deviating from those stated in EN374 please contact the supplier of CE-approved gloves (e.g. KCL GmbH, D-36124 Eichenzell, Internet: www.kcl.de).

Eyes

Safety glasses

Respiratory

required when vapours/aerosols are generated. Recommended Filter type: Filter A (acc. to DIN 3181) for vapours of organic compounds. The entrepreneur has to ensure that maintenance, cleaning and testing of respiratory protective devices are carried out according to the instructions of the producer. These measures have to be properly documented.

Skin/Body

Protective clothing needs to be selected specifically for the workplace, depending on concentrations and quantities of the hazardous substances handled. The chemical resistance of the protective equipment should be enquired at the respective supplier. Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing

Environmental

Do not let product enter drains. Risk of explosion.
