Storage: Store at 2掳-7掳 C (35掳-45掳 F). Do not freeze. Store out of direct sunlight to protect
product integrity. Shake well before using. Use entire contents when first opened.
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
For Industrial Exposures:
Exposure Limits: None
Engineering Controls: Not generally required when handling vials or containers. Good
ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be
matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure
limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.
4/9
Citadel鈩? VL5 2007-June-04
Respiratory Protection: Not generally required when handling vials or containers. If
engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure
limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not
been established), an approved respirator must be worn. In the United States of America, if
respirators are used, a program should be instituted to assure compliance with OSHA standard 63
FR 1152, January 8, 1998. Respirator type: NIOSH approved organic vapor respirator.
Europe: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment according to the Council
Directive 89/686/EEC (4) and the appropriate CEN standards.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Not generally required when handling containers.
If containers are compromised or exposure to the active ingredient or mixture is likely wear:
Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Hand Protection: Wear suitable gloves.
Skin Protection: Wear protective clothing appropriate for the risk of exposure.
Hygiene Measures: Eye bath, washing facilities, shower
