HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.
Storage
(ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment. Use non-sparking tools. Take
precautionary measures against electrostatic discharges. To avoid fire or explosion,
dissipate static electricity during transfer by earthing and bonding containers and
equipment before transferring material. Empty containers retain product residue and
can be hazardous. Do not reuse container.
Packaging materials
Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and approved area.
Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated
area, away from incompatible materials (see section 10) and food and drink. Eliminate
all ignition sources. Separate from oxidizing materials. Keep container tightly closed
and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully
resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabelled containers.
Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.

Exposure limit values
If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal, workplace
atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to determine the effectiveness of
the ventilation or other control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory
protective equipment. Reference should be made to European Standard EN 689 for
methods for the assessment of exposure by inhalation to chemical agents and national
guidance documents for methods for the determination of hazardous substances.

EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Hand protection
Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved
standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be
based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe
working limits of the selected respirator.
Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be
worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is
necessary.
Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk
assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists or
dusts.

Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being
performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before
handling this product.

Environmental exposure
controls
:
Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some
cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment
will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
Occupational exposure
controls
:
Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation
or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below
any recommended or statutory limits. The engineering controls also need to keep gas,
vapour or dust concentrations below any lower explosive limits. Use explosion-proof
ventilation equipment.
Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before
eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.
Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.
Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety
showers are close to the workstation location.
