7. Handling and storage (continued)
Storage
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. 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 unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment to
avoid environmental contamination.
Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed and sealed
until ready for use. Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame).

Engineering measures
Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas, vapor 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. Processes should be designed to minimize airborne and skin exposure to
hazardous substances.
Hygiene measures
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. Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in
areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Remove/Take off
immediately all contaminated clothing. Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed
out of the workplace.
Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with NIOSH 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. The user must check that the final choice of type of glove selected for
handling this product is the most appropriate and takes into account the particular
conditions of use, as included in the user's risk assessment.
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.
