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.
Never allow product to get in contact with water during storage. Do not store near acids.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate ventilation to
keep airborne concentrations low.
Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes: Tightly 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: Handle 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.contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.
Clothing: Complete suit protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the
dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
Respirators:Where 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 government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
