SECTION 7 : HANDLING and STORAGE
Handling:
Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor and contact with eyes, skin
and clothing.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area away from sources of heat, combustible
materials, and incompatible substances. Keep container tightly closed when not
in use.
Hygiene Practices:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Avoid inhaling
vapor or mist.
SECTION 8 : EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION - EXPOSURE GUIDELINES
Engineering Controls:
Use appropriate engineering control such as process enclosures, local exhaust
ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels below
recommended exposure limits. Good general ventilation should be sufficient to
control airborne levels. Where such systems are not effective wear suitable
personal protective equipment, which performs satisfactorily and meets OSHA or
other recognized standards. Consult with local procedures for selection, training,
inspection and maintenance of the personal protective equipment.
Eye/Face Protection:
Wear appropriate protective glasses or splash goggles as described by 29 CFR
1910.133, OSHA eye and face protection regulation, or the European standard
EN 166.
Skin Protection Description:
Chemical-resistant gloves and chemical goggles, face-shield and synthetic apron
or coveralls should be used to prevent contact with eyes, skin or clothing.
Wear appropriate protective gloves. Consult glove manufacturer's data for
permeability data.
Respiratory Protection:
A NIOSH approved air-purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge or
canister may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne
concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits. Protection provided by air
purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if
there is any potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known,
or any other circumstances where air purifying respirators may not provide
adequate protection.
Other Protective:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash
facility and a safety shower.
