7. Handling and storage
Handling
Protection against fire and explosion:
The relevant fire protection measures should be noted.
Storage
Further information on storage conditions: Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated
place.
8. Exposure controls and personal protection
Components with workplace control parameters
none
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection:
Breathing protection if gases/vapours are formed. Particle filter with medium efficiency for solid and
liquid particles (e.g. EN 143 or 149, Type P2 or FFP2)
Hand protection:
Suitable chemical resistant safety gloves (EN 374) also with prolonged, direct contact
(Recommended: Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to
EN 374): E.g. nitrile rubber (0.4 mm), chloroprene rubber (0.5 mm), butyl rubber (0.7 mm) and other
Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove
manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g.
temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in
practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.
Eye protection:
Safety glasses with side-shields (frame goggles) (e.g. EN 166)
Body protection:
Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. apron, protecting
boots, chemical-protection suit (according to EN 14605 in case of splashes or EN ISO 13982 in case
of dust).
General safety and hygiene measures:
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
