Handling and storage
Handling
Safe handling advice:
Handle under inert gas. Never allow water to come into contact with the product. Do not breathe
vapour. Have eye wash bottle or eye rinse ready at the work place.
Safe handling advice:
Once the product is completely reacted, any remaining ether solvent may form explosive
peroxides on contact with air.
Advice on protection against fire and explosion:
Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Electrical equipment should be protected to the appropriate standard.
Storage
Requirements for storage areas and containers:
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Protect from direct sunlight.
Protect from moisture.
