Avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing. Avoid creating or inhaling dust. Ensure adequate ventilation. Wash hands after use.
Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Use appropriate protective equipment.
Hygiene Measures
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Store in a cool, dry location. Product has a shelf life of 60 months.

8.2. Exposure controls

Engineering Controls Use in a well ventilated area.
Personal protective equipment
If engineering controls and work practices cannot prevent excessive exposures, the selection and proper use of personal
protective equipment should be determined by an industrial hygienist or other qualified professional based on the specific
application of this product.

Respiratory Protection If engineering controls and work practices cannot keep exposure below occupational
exposure limits or if exposure is unknown, wear a NIOSH certified, European Standard
EN 149, AS/NZS 1715:2009, or equivalent respirator when using this product. Selection
of and instruction on using all personal protective equipment, including respirators,
should be performed by an Industrial Hygienist or other qualified professional.
Dust/mist respirator. (N95, P2/P3)
Hand Protection Chemical-resistant protective gloves (EN 374) Suitable materials for longer, direct
contact (recommended: protection index 6, corresponding to > 480 minutes permeation
time as per EN 374): Nitrile gloves. (>= 0.35 mm thickness)
This information is based on literature references and on information provided by glove
manufacturers, or is derived by analogy with similar substances. Please note that in
practice the working life of chemical-resistant protective gloves may be considerably
shorter than the permeation time determined in accordance with EN 374 as a result of
the many influencing factors (e.g. temperature). If signs of wear and tear are noticed
then the gloves should be replaced. Manufacturer's directions for use should be
observed because of great diversity of types.
Skin Protection Normal work coveralls.
Eye Protection Chemical goggles; also wear a face shield if splashing hazard exists.
Other Precautions None known.
