For further information refer to section 13.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 Precautions for safe handling
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8).
Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not ingest. Avoid release to the environment. If during
normal use the material presents a respiratory hazard, use only with adequate ventilation or wear
appropriate respirator. Keep away from clothing, incompatible materials and combustible
materials. Keep away from heat. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do
not reuse container.
Hygiene measures:
Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored
and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and
smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering
eating areas.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Storage conditions:
Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight
in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see section 10) and food
and drink. Store locked up. Separate from reducing agents and combustible materials. Keep
container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be
carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabelled containers. Use
appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.
Incompatible products:
Oxidizing materials, reducing materials, combustible materials, acids, alkalis and moisture.
Contact with acids liberates toxic gas.
Incompatible materials:
Avoid excessive heat. Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame).
Suitable packaging materials:
Polypropylene, plastic lined or stainless steel.
7.3 Specific end users:
No additional information available.
