7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling:
Use only with adequate ventilation. Prevent contact with eyes, skin and
clothing. Do not breathe vapor and mist. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Keep container closed. Refer to Section 8.
Storage:
For safe storage, store between 0 °C (32°F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F)
Keep in a cool, well ventilated area away from heat, sparks and open flame.
Keep container tightly closed until ready for use.

Engineering controls:
Provide adequate local exhaust ventilation to maintain worker exposure below
exposure limits.
Respiratory protection:
Use NIOSH approved respirator if there is potential to exceed exposure
limit(s).
Eye/face protection:
Safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields. Full face protection should
be used if the potential for splashing or spraying of product exists. Safety
showers and eye wash stations should be available.
Skin protection:
Use chemical resistant, impermeable clothing including gloves and either an
apron or body suit to prevent skin contact. Neoprene gloves. Butyl rubber
gloves. Natural rubber gloves.
