Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Do not seal receptacles gas-tight. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Open and handle receptacle with care. Prevent formation of aerosols.
Store at room temperature in a shaded and ventilated place. Keep container tightly sealed.
Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Keep ignition sources away - Do not smoke.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
No further data; see section 7.
Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/ the chemical mixture. Protective gloves 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.
Tightly sealed goggles
In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use self-contained respiratory protective device.
