Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
All work processes must always be designed so that the following is as low as possible: Inhalation, skin contact, Eye contact, Use extractor hood (laboratory).
Keep container tightly closed and in a well-ventilated place.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Technical measures and the application of suitable work processes have priority over personal protection equipment. If handled uncovered, arrangements with local exhaust ventilation have to be used.
When handling with chemical substances, protective gloves must be worn with the CE-label including the four control digits. Recommended glove articles DIN-/EN-Norms EN ISO 374. In the case of wanting to use the gloves again, clean them before taking off and air them well. By short-term hand contact: Suitable material: NBR (Nitrile rubber), Thickness of the glove material: 0,38 mm, Breakthrough time: -, Recommended glove articles: VWR 112-1381. By long-term hand contact: Suitable material: PE (polyethylene), Thickness of the glove material: -, Breakthrough time: > 480 min, Recommended glove articles: VWR 112-1009
Eye glasses with side protection DIN-/EN-Norms: DIN EN 166. Recommendation: VWR 111-0432
Respiratory protection necessary at: aerosol or mist formation. Suitable respiratory protection apparatus: Full-/half-/quarter-face masks (DIN EN 136/140). Recommendation: VWR 111-0206. Suitable material: A1. Recommendation: VWR 111-8930
Wear suitable protective clothing. When handling with chemical substances, protective clothing with CE-labels including the four control digits must be worn.
