SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Precautions for safe handling
:
Do not swallow. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Good housekeeping is important to prevent
accumulation of dust. Avoid generating and breathing dust. The use of compressed air for
cleaning clothing, equipment, etc, is
not recommended. Handle and open container with care.
When using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Hygiene measures
:
Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Wash hands before eating, drinking, or smoking.
7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Storage conditions
:
Keep out of the reach of children. Store in dust-tight, dry, labelled containers. Keep container
tightly closed when not in use. Avoid any dust buildup by frequent cleaning and suitable
construction of the storage area
. Do not store in an area equipped with emergency water
sprinklers.
7.3. Specific end use(s)
No additional information available.

8.2. Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls
:
Use ventilation adequate to keep exposures (airborne levels of dust, fume, vapor, etc.) below
recommended exposure limits.
Hand protection
:
Wear suitable waterproof gloves.
Eye protection
:
Wear approved eye protection (properly fitted dust- or splash-proof chemical safety goggles) and
face protection (face shield).
Skin and body protection
:
Wear suitable waterproof protective clothing.
Respiratory protection
:
A NIOSH approved dust mask or filtering facepiece is recommended in poorly ventilated areas or
when permissible exposure limits may be exceeded. Respirators should be selected by and used
under the direction of a trained health and safety professional following requiremen
ts found in
OSHA’s respirator standard (29 CFR 1910.134) and ANSI’s standard for respiratory protection
(Z88.2).
Other information
:
Do not eat, smoke or drink where material is handled, processed or stored. Wash hands carefully
before eating or smoking.
Handle according to established industrial hygiene and safety
practices.
