Section 7 - Handling and Storage

HANDLING

This product should be handled only by, or under the close supervision of those properly qualified in
the handling and use of potentially hazardous chemicals, who should take into account the fire, health
and chemical hazard data. It should be handled in an efficient fume hood or equivalent system. The
user should consider that the toxicological and physiological properties of many compounds are not yet
well determined and that new hazardous products may arise from coming into contact with the skin or
eyes and from contaminating personal clothing.
STORAGE

Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area away from sources of heat, combustible materials and
incompatible substances. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Product is moisture sensitive.
HYGIENE PRACTICES

Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Avoid inhaling dust.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

ENGINEERING CONTROLS

Use appropriate engineering control such as process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. Where such systems are not
effective wear suitable personal protective equipment, which performs satisfactorily and meets OSHA
and other recognized standards. Consult with local procedures for selection, training, inspection and
maintenance of personal protective equipment.
SKIN PROTECTION EQUIPMENT

Wear suitable protective clothing to prevent contact with skin.
HAND PROTECTION EQUIPMENT
Wear appropriate protective gloves. Consult glove manufacturers for glove permeability data.
EYE/FACE PROTECTION EQUIPMENT

Wear appropriate protective glasses or splash goggles to protect eye and face.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
An approved air purifying respirator with an appropriate cartridge or canister may be permissible under
certain circumstances where airborne concentration are expected to exceed exposure limits. Protection
provided by air purifying respirators is limited to air borne concentration that are typically within 10
times the exposure limit. Use a positive air supplied respirator if there is any potential for an
uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or any other circumstances where air purifying
respirators my not provide adequate protection.

OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENTS
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eye-wash facility and safety
shower.
