Section 7 - Handling and Storage 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
Handling   
Wear personal protective equipment. Do not breathe 
gas/fumes/vapor/spray. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not 
taste or swallow. Avoid prolonged exposure. Use only with adequate 
ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. DO NOT handle, store or open 
near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of ignition. Protect material 
from direct sunlight. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Avoid release 
to the environment. 
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. Separate 
from oxidizing materials. 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 from freezing.

Personal Protective Equipment 
Respiratory Protection: A NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge or 
canister may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed 
exposure limits. Protection provided by air purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure air supplied 
respirator if there is any potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or any other 
circumstances where air purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection. A respiratory protection program 
that meets OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a 
respirator's use. 
Skin Protection: Chemical resistant protective gloves. 
Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). 
Other Protective Equipment: Wear protective clothing as necessary to minimize contact.. 
Hygienic Practices: Wash hands before eating. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use only 
in a well ventilated area. Follow all SDS/label precautions even after container is emptied because they may retain 
product residues. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Avoid breathing vapors from heated material. Avoid 
contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
