7. Handling and storage
8. Exposure controls/personal protectionExposure limits 8.1 Control parametersComponents with workplace control parameters8.2 Exposure controlsAppropriate engineering controlsAvoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handlingthe product.
Personal precautions Wear respiratory protection. Avoid breathing
vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel
to safe areas. Beware of vapours accumulating to
form explosive concentrations. Vapours can
accumulate in low areas. For personal protection
see section 8.
Environmental precautions Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Do not let product enter drains.
Methods for cleaning up Contain spillage, and then collect with an
electrically protected vacuum cleaner or by
wet-brushing and place in container for disposal
according to local regulations (see section 13).
Reference to other sections For disposal see section 13.
Precautions for safe handling Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation
of vapour or mist. Keep away from sources of
ignition - No smoking.Take measures to prevent the
build up of electrostatic charge. For precautions see
section 2.2.
Conditions for safe storage,
including any
incompatibilities
Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in
a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which
are opened must be carefully resealed and kept
upright to prevent leakage. Handle and store under
inert gas. Air and moisture sensitive.
Specific end use(s) Apart from the uses mentioned in section 1.2 no
other specific uses are stipulated
Personal protective equipmentEye/face protectionTightly fitting safety goggles. Faceshield (8-inch minimum). Use equipment for eye protection-tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN166(EU).Skin protectionHandle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of con-taminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices.Wash and dry hands.The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.Body ProtectionComplete suit protecting against chemicals, Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing., The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.Respiratory protectionWhere risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate govern-ment standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).Control of environmental exposurePrevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains
