SECTION 7:
Handling and Storage
Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures
Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Do not breathe
mist or vapor. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not taste or swallow. Avoid prolonged exposure. Provide adequate
ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. For personal protective equipment, refer to section 8 of the SDS.
Keep away from incompatibles. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Label containers appropriately.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Keep tightly capped. Store out of direct sunlight between 36°F- 85°F. Store locked up. Store away from incompatible materials
(refer to section 10 of the SDS).

Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls
Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates
should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust
ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended
exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an
acceptable level. Eyewash facilities and emergency shower must be available when handling
this product.
Personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Wear appropriate safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) if contact is likely to occur.
Skin protection
Wear appropriate chemical-resistant gloves and clothing if contact is likely to occur.
Body protection
Wear appropriate protective clothing if contact is likely to occur.
Respiratory protection
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Use a NIOSH/MSHA
approved respirator if there is a risk of exposure to dust/fumes at levels exceeding the
exposure limits. Advice should be sought from respiratory protection suppliers.
