SECTION 7: Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling: Keep away from flames and hot surfaces. Wash thoroughly after handling. Use good personal
hygiene practices and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8). Spills will produce very slippery surfaces.
Do not enter confined spaces such as tanks or pits without following proper entry procedures such as ASTM D-4276 and 29CFR
1910.146. Do not wear contaminated clothing or shoes.
Conditions for safe storage: Keep container(s) tightly closed and properly labeled. Use and store this material in cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from heat and all sources of ignition. Store only in approved containers. Keep away from any
incompatible material (see Section 10). Protect container(s) against physical damage.
"Empty" containers retain residue and may be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such
containers to heat, flame, sparks, or other sources of ignition. They may explode and cause injury or death. "Empty" drums should
be completely drained, properly bunged, and promptly shipped to the supplier or a drum reconditioner. All containers should be
disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with governmental regulations. Before working on or in tanks
which contain or have contained this material, refer to OSHA regulations, ANSI Z49.1, and other references pertaining to cleaning,
repairing, welding, or other contemplated operations.

Note: State, local or other agencies or advisory groups may have established more stringent limits. Consult an industrial
hygienist or similar professional, or your local agencies, for further information.
Engineering controls: If current ventilation practices are not adequate to maintain airborne concentrations below the established
exposure limits, additional engineering controls may be required.
Eye/Face Protection: The use of eye protection that meets or exceeds ANSI Z.87.1 is recommended to protect against potential
eye contact, irritation, or injury. Depending on conditions of use, a face shield may be necessary.
Skin/Hand Protection: The use of skin protection is not normally required; however, good industrial hygiene practice suggests the
use of gloves or other appropriate skin protection whenever working with chemicals. Suggested protective materials: Nitrile
Respiratory Protection: Where there is potential for airborne exposure above the exposure limit a NIOSH certified air purifying
respirator equipped with R or P95 filters may be used.
A respiratory protection program that meets or is equivalent to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 should be followed
whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use. Air purifying respirators provide limited protection and cannot be used in
atmospheres that exceed the maximum use concentration (as directed by regulation or the manufacturer's instructions), in oxygen
deficient (less than 19.5 percent oxygen) situations, or under conditions that are immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH).
Suggestions provided in this section for exposure control and specific types of protective equipment are based on readily
available information. Users should consult with the specific manufacturer to confirm the performance of their protective
equipment. Specific situations may require consultation with industrial hygiene, safety, or engineering professionals.
