
Refer to Section 8 - Exposure Controls/Personal Protection and Section 13 - Disposal
Considerations.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
7.1 Precautions for safe handling
Handling

Do not use in areas without adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Routine
housekeeping should be instituted to ensure that dusts do not accumulate on surfaces. Dry powders can
build static electricity charges when subjected to the friction of transfer and mixing operations. Provide
adequate precautions, such as electrical grounding and bonding, or inert atmospheres. Use appropriate
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Do not breathe dust. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wash
thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, or using tobacco.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Storage

Keep container closed. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place.
7.3 Specific end use(s)

Engineering
Measures/Controls

Ensure that dust handling systems (such as exhaust ducts, dust collectors, vessels and
processing equipment) are designed in a manner to prevent the escape of dust into the work
area (i.e., there is not leakage from the equipment). It is recommended that dust control
equipment such as local exhaust ventilation and material transport systems involved in
handling of this product contain explosion relief vents or an explosion supression system or
an oxygen-deficient environment. Use only appropriately classified electrical equipment.
Personal Protective Equipment
Respiratory

For limited exposure use an N95 dust mask. For prolonged exposure use an air-purifying
respirator with high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters. Follow the OSHA respirator
regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA
or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or
symptoms are experienced.
Eye/Face

Wear safety goggles.
Hands

Wear appropriate gloves.
Skin/Body

Wear long sleeves and/or protective coveralls.
