7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Minimize fire risks from flammable and combustible materials (including combustible dust and
static accumulating liquids) or dangerous reactions with incompatible materials. Handling
operations that can promote accumulation of static charges include but are not limited to: mixing,
filtering, pumping at high flow rates, splash filling, creating mists or sprays, tank and container
filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, vacuum truck operations. Pressurized
container: Do not pierce or burn, even after use. Do not use if spray button is missing or defective.
Do not spray on a naked flame or any other incandescent material. Do not smoke while using or
until sprayed surface is thoroughly dry. Do not cut, weld, solder, drill, grind, or expose containers to
heat, flame, sparks, or other sources of ignition. Use caution around energized equipment. The
metal container will conduct electricity if it contacts a live source. This may result in injury to the
user from electrical shock and/or flash fire. Avoid breathing mist or vapor. Avoid breathing gas.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid prolonged exposure. Use only in well-ventilated areas.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. For
product usage instructions, please see the product label.
Conditions for safe storage,
including any incompatibilities
Level 3 Aerosol.
Pressurized container. Protect from sunlight and do not expose to temperatures exceeding
50°C/122 °F. Do not puncture, incinerate or crush. Do not handle or store near an open flame,
heat or other sources of ignition. This material can accumulate static charge which may cause
spark and become an ignition source. Avoid spark promoters. These alone may be insufficient to
remove static electricity. Store in a well-ventilated place. Store away from incompatible materials
(see Section 10 of the SDS). Keep out of the reach of children.

Biological limit values
No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).
Appropriate engineering
controls
Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates
should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation,
or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If
exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Provide
eyewash station.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Skin protection
Hand protection
Wear protective gloves such as: Nitrile. Neoprene.
Other
Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing.
