Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Ensure good ventilation. Keep away from sources of ignition - Do not smoke. Do not use on hot surfaces. Observe directions on label and instructions for use. Use working methods according to operating instructions. Take measures against electrostatic charging, if appropriate.

Storage

Keep out of access to unauthorised individuals. Not to be stored in gangways or stair wells. Observe special regulations for aerosols! Observe special storage conditions. Keep protected from direct sunlight and temperatures over 50°C. Store in a dry place. Store cool. Store in a well ventilated place.

Hygiene

General hygiene measures for the handling of chemicals are applicable. Wash hands before breaks and at end of work. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering areas in which food is consumed.

Fire prevention

Keep away from sources of ignition - Do not smoke. Do not use on hot surfaces. Take measures against electrostatic charging, if appropriate.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Ensure good ventilation. This can be achieved by local suction or general air extraction. If this is insufficient to maintain the concentration under the WEL or AGW values, suitable breathing protection should be worn. Applies only if maximum permissible exposure values are listed here. Suitable assessment methods for reviewing the effectiveness of protection measures adopted include metrological and non-metrological investigative techniques. These are specified by e.g. EN 14042. EN 14042 "Workplace atmospheres. Guide for the application and use of procedures for the assessment of exposure to chemical and biological agents".

Hands

Protective nitrile gloves (EN ISO 374). Minimum layer thickness in mm: >= 0,4. Permeation time (penetration time) in minutes: >= 480. The breakthrough times determined in accordance with EN 16523-1 were not obtained under practical conditions. The recommended maximum wearing time is 50% of breakthrough time. Protective hand cream recommended. Additional information on hand protection - No tests have been performed. In the case of mixtures, the selection has been made according to the knowledge available and the information about the contents. Selection of materials derived from glove manufacturer's indications. Final selection of glove material must be made taking the breakthrough times, permeation rates and degradation into account. Selection of a suitable glove depends not only on the material but also on other quality characteristics and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. In the case of mixtures, the resistance of glove materials cannot be predicted and must therefore be tested before use. The exact breakthrough time of the glove material can be requested from the protective glove manufacturer and must be observed.

Eyes

Tight fitting protective goggles with side protection (EN 166).

Respiratory

Normally not necessary. If OES or MEL is exceeded. Filter A P3 (EN 14387), code colour brown, white. Observe wearing time limitations for respiratory protection equipment.

Skin/Body

Protective working garments (e.g. safety shoes EN ISO 20345, long-sleeved protective working garments).

Environmental

No information available at present.
