Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Advice on safe handling
Product inherent handling risks must be minimised taking the appropriate measures for protection and preventive actions. The working process should be designed to rule out the release of hazardous substances or skin contact as far it is possible by the state of the art. Open and handle container with care. Avoid eye, skin and clothing contact. Do not inhale dust.
General protective and hygiene measures
Wash hands before breaks and after work. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Remove soiled or soaked clothing immediately. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Provide eye wash fountain in work area. Do not eat, drink or smoke during work time. Do not inhale dust/fumes/aerosols. Have emergency shower available.
Advice on protection against fire and explosion
Keep away from sources of ignition - refrain from smoking.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Technical measures and storage conditions
Keep only in the original container, tightly closed, in a well ventilated place. Keep under lock and key or accessible only to specialists or people who are authorized. Protect from atmospheric moisture and water.
Requirements for storage rooms and vessels
Containers which are opened must be carefully closed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Protect from heat and direct sunlight.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls
No data available.
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection
If workplace exposure limits are exceeded, a respiration protection approved for this particular job must be worn. In case of aerosol and mist formation, take appropriate measures for breathing protection in the event workplace threshold values are not specified.
Eye / face protection
Tightly fitting safety glasses (EN 166).
Hand protection
Sufficient protection is given wearing suitable protective gloves checked according to i.e. EN 374, in the event of risk of skin contact with the product .
