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 breathe dust. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear
suitable respiratory equipment If you feel unwell, seek medical attention and
show the label when possible. 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
