Section
7: Handling and Storage Precautions:
Keep
away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty containers pose a fire
risk, evaporate the residue under a fume hood. Ground all equipment containing
material. Do not ingest. Do not 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
Storage:
Keep
container dry. Keep in a cool place. Ground all equipment containing material.
Keep container tightly closed. Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place.
Combustible materials should be stored away from extreme heat and away from
strong oxidizing agents.
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. Gloves.
Personal
Protection in Case of a Large Spill: Splash
goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing
apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested
protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE
handling this product.
