7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Persons with a history of skin
sensitization problems should not be employed in any process in which this product is used. Do
not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not ingest. Keep in the original container or an
approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use.
Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container.
Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled,
stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and
smoking. 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
Do not store above the following temperature: 35°C (95°F). 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. Do not store in unlabeled containers.
Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.

Appropriate engineering
controls
Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control worker exposure to airborne
contaminants.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
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, gases or dusts. If contact
is possible, the following protection should be worn, unless the assessment indicates a higher
degree of protection: chemical splash goggles.
Skin protection
Hand
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.
Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check during use that the
gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It should be noted that the time to
breakthrough for any glove material may be different for different glove manufacturers. In the
case of mixtures, consisting of several substances, the protection time of the gloves cannot be
accurately estimated.
Other
Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should be selected based on
the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before
handling this product.
Respiratory protection
Use a properly fitted, particulate filter 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.
Thermal hazards
None.
