Version: 5.0 (30562100/SDS_GEN_US/EN)
Breathing must be protected when large quantities are decanted without local exhaust ventilation.
Avoid the formation and deposition of dust.
Protection against fire and explosion:
Avoid dust formation. Dust in sufficient concentration can result in an explosive mixture in air. Handle
to minimize dusting and eliminate open flame and other sources of ignition. Routine housekeeping
should be instituted to ensure that dusts do not accumulate on surfaces. Dry powders can build static
electricity charges when subjected to the friction of transfer and mixing operations. Provide adequate
precautions, such as electrical grounding and bonding, or inert atmospheres. Refer to NFPA 654,
Standard for the Prevention of Fire and Dust Explosions from the Manufacturing, Processing, and
Handling of Combustible Particulate Solids (2013 Edition) for safe handling.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Further information on storage conditions: Keep container dry because product takes up the humidity
of air.
Keep container tightly closed and dry; store in a cool place.
The packed product is not damaged by low temperatures or by frost.
The packed product will not be damaged by high temperatures.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Advice on system design:
It is recommended that all dust control equipment such as local exhaust ventilation and material
transport systems involved in handling of this product contain explosion relief vents or an explosion
suppression system or an oxygen deficient environment. Ensure that dust-handling systems (such as
exhaust ducts, dust collectors, vessels, and processing equipment) are designed in a manner to
prevent the escape of dust into the work area (i.e., there is no leakage from the equipment). Use only
appropriately classified electrical equipment and powered industrial trucks.
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection:
Breathing protection if dusts are formed.
Hand protection:
Chemical resistant protective gloves
Eye protection:
Tightly fitting safety goggles (chemical goggles).
General safety and hygiene measures:
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wearing of closed work
clothing is recommended.
