HANDLING AND STORAGE
Storage
7.
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8). 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.
Pressurised container: protect from sunlight and do not expose to temperature
exceeding 50°C. Do not pierce or burn, even after use. Do not ingest. Avoid contact
with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing gas. Avoid breathing vapour or mist. Use
only with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is
inadequate. Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame or any other ignition
source. Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material handling)
equipment. Use non-sparking tools. Empty containers retain product residue and can
be hazardous.
Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and approved area.
Store away from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from
incompatible materials (see section 10) and food and drink. Eliminate all ignition
sources. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.

Occupational exposure limits
Recommended monitoring
procedures
If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal, workplace
atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to determine the effectiveness of
the ventilation or other control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory
protective equipment. Reference should be made to European Standard EN 689 for
methods for the assessment of exposure by inhalation to chemical agents and national
guidance documents for methods for the determination of hazardous substances.

EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Hand protection
Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved
standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be
based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe
working limits of the selected respirator.
Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be
worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is
necessary.
Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk
assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists or
dusts.

performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before
handling this product.

Environmental exposure
controls
:
Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some
cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment
will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
Occupational exposure
controls
:
Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas,
vapour or mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering
controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or
statutory limits. The engineering controls also need to keep gas, vapour or dust
concentrations below any lower explosive limits. Use explosion-proof ventilation
equipment.
Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before
eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.
Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.
Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety
showers are close to the workstation location.
