Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Precautions for safe
handling
Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety
precautions have been read and understood. Do not handle, store or
open near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of ignition. Protect
material from direct sunlight. Explosion-proof general and local exhaust
ventilation.
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. Take
precautionary measures against static discharges. All equipment used
when handling the product must be grounded. Use non-sparking tools
and explosion-proof equipment. Do not breathe mist or vapor. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid prolonged exposure. When
using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Pregnant or breastfeeding women
must not handle this product. Should be handled in closed systems, if
possible. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Wear
appropriate personal protective equipment. Wash hands thoroughly
after handling. Avoid release to the environment. Wash contaminated
clothing before reuse. Observe good industrial hygiene practices.
For additional information on equipment bonding and grounding, refer
to the Canadian Electrical Code in Canada, (CSA C22.1), or the American
Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice 2003, "Protection
Against Ignitions Arising out of Static, Lightning, and Stray Currents" or
National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 77, "Recommended Practice on
Static Electricity" or National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70,
"National Electrical Code".
Conditions for safe storage,
including any
incompatibilities
Store locked up. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Prevent
electrostatic charge build-up by using common bonding and grounding
techniques. Eliminate sources of ignition. Avoid spark promoters.
Ground/bond container and equipment. These alone may be insufficient
to remove static electricity. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct
sunlight. Store in original tightly closed container. Store in a well-
ventilated place. Keep in an area equipped with sprinklers. Store away
from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS).
