Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Breathing must be protected when large quantities are decanted without local exhaust ventilation.
Keep container tightly closed and dry; store in a cool place.
Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Whenever possible, engineering controls should be used to minimize the need for personal protective equipment.
Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN ISO 374-1) Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6, corresponding >480 minutes of permeation time according to EN ISO 374-1): e.g. nitrile rubber (0.4 mm), chloroprene rubber (0.5 mm), polyvinylchloride (0.7 mm) and other Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing. Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types.
Safety glasses with side-shields (frame goggles) (e.g. EN 166)
Suitable respiratory protection for higher concentrations or long-term effect: Breathing protection if dusts are formed. Particle filter with medium efficiency for solid and liquid particles (e.g. EN 143 or 149, Type P2 or FFP2)
No body protection required if used for intended purpose and satisfying generally accepted industrial hygiene rules.
