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.
