Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Handle with care and avoid spillage on the floor (slippage). Keep away from sources of ignition. Do not breathe dust. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents.

Storage

Store in a cool dry place. Keep away from heat and direct light. Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.

Hygiene

Consider normal working hygiene.

Fire prevention

Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Empty containers pose a fire risk.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.

Hands

Gloves. No special measures at normal room temperature

Eyes

Safety glasses. Usage of safety glasses/goggles is recommended.

Respiratory

Dust respirator. Be sure to use approved/certified respirator or equivalent. No special measures at normal room temperature

Skin/Body

Lab coat. No special measures at normal room temperature
