Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Breathing must be protected when large quantities are decanted without local exhaust ventilation. Closed containers should only be opened in well-ventilated areas.

Storage

Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Protect from the effects of light.

Fire prevention

Empty only into grounded containers. If container is larger than 550 gallons (2m3) or if flammable solvents are present, the container must be inerted or the system otherwise designed to prevent or contain an explosion.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Hands

Chemical resistant protective gloves

Eyes

Safety glasses with side-shields. Wear face shield if splashing hazard exists.

Respiratory

Wear a NIOSH-certified (or equivalent) organic vapour/particulate respirator. Observe OSHA regulations for respirator use (29 CFR 1910.134).

Skin/Body

Impermeable protective clothing

Ecological Information

Environmental toxicity, biodegradation, and bioaccumulation data

Toxicity

Aquatic toxicity Assessment of aquatic toxicity: There is a high probability that the product is not acutely harmful to aquatic organisms. No toxic effects occur within the range of solubility. The inhibition of the degradation activity of activated sludge is not anticipated when introduced to biological treatment plants in appropriate low concentrations.

There is a high probability that the product is not acutely harmful to aquatic organisms. No toxic effects occur within the range of solubility. The inhibition of the degradation activity of activated sludge is not anticipated when introduced to biological treatment plants in appropriate low concentrations.
