Section 7. Handling and Storage
Precautions for safe handling
Protective measures: Eye protection and face shield should be used if material is used under conditions that
increase the chances of splattering. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment
(see Section 8). Keep out of reach of children.
Advice on general
Occupational hygiene: Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Eating, drinking and smoking should be
prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Wash
thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment
before entering eating areas.
See also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene measures.
Conditions for safe storage,
Including any incompatibilities: Store in accordance with local regulations. 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. 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. Use appropriate containment to avoid
environmental contamination. Avoid contaminating soil or releases into sewage or
drainage systems and bodies of water.
Bulk material handling: Static Hazard: Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous
condition when handling this material. To minimize this hazard, bonding and
grounding may be necessary but may not, by themselves, be sufficient.

Appropriate engineering controls: Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control worker exposure to airborne
contaminants.
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.
Individual protection measures
Hygiene measures: 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.
Eye/Face Protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields. A face shield may be necessary under
some conditions.
Skin and Body Protection
Hand protection: Wear protective gloves if prolonged or repeated contact is likely. Wear chemical
resistant gloves. Recommended: Nitrile gloves. Consult your supervisor or
