Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Avoid direct contact (skin/eye contact, ingestion and/or inhalation of fume/mist/dust) with the product in the undiluted form.

Storage

Store in cool, dry conditions in well sealed receptacles.

Fire prevention

No special measures required.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

No further data; see section 7.

Hands

Protective gloves. Use gloves tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN374 (EU). The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation. Material of gloves: 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. Penetration time of glove material: The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.

Eyes

Tightly sealed goggles conforming to EN166.

Respiratory

Use suitable respiratory protective device in case of insufficient ventilation.

Skin/Body

Protective work clothing. Body protection must be chosen depending on product properties, activity and possible exposure.
