Section 7 – Handling and Storage
Handling Procedures
Handle in contained and properly designed equipment systems. Use with adequate ventilation.
Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Keep away from uncontrolled heat and incompatible materials.
Ground all material handling and transfer equipment to dissipate build-up of static electricity.
Keep handling areas of loose pellets, powders and dust build-up. Every effort should be made to
prevent the accumulation of powders or find dusts around material handling systems.
Accumulated powders or find dusts may form explosive air-dust mixtures. For additional
information on control of static and minimizing potential dust and fire hazards, refer to NFP-
654, “Standard for the Prevention of Fire and Dust Explosions from the Manufacturing,
processing, and Handling of Combustible Particulate Solids, 2008 Edition”. Spilled product may
create a dangerous slipping hazard.
Storage Procedures
Storage area should be clearly identified, well illuminated, clear of obstruction and accessible
only to trained and authorized personnel. Store in closed, grounded and properly designed
vessels, away from uncontrolled heat and incompatible materials. Avoid accumulation of dust by
frequent cleaning and suitable construction of storage and handling areas. Keep shovels and
vacuum systems readily available for clean up of loose material. DO NOT enter filled bulk
containers and attempt to walk over product, due to risk of slipping and possible suffocation.
Use a fall arrest system when working near open bulk containers
See Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection for appropriate Personal Protective Equipment. See Section 10 for information

Exposure Guidelines
A: General Product Information
Refer to published exposure limits – use effective control measures and PPE to maintain worker
exposure to concentrations that are below these limits. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety
showers are proximal to work locations.
Note: In this product, any talc is inextricably bound or coated in the polyethylene. This appears
to prevent any toxic reaction to the lungs. Thus the ACGIH exposure limits for Particles
(Insoluble or Poorly Soluble) Not Otherwise Specified (PNOS) are considered applicable.
