breathe dust. Wear suitable protective clothing. In case of insufficient
ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. If ingested, seek medical
advice immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid contact with skin
and eyes. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, reducing
agents, acids, alkalis.
Storage:
Keep container tightly closed. Keep
container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
Section
8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Engineering Controls:
Use
process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to
keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations
generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne
contaminants below the exposure limit.
Personal
Protection:Splash goggles. Lab coat. Dust
respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent.
