or spillage if safe to do so. If the product contaminates rivers 

and lakes or drains inform respective authorities. 

Methods for cleaning up : Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. 

SECTION 7: Handling and storage

Handling

Advice on safe handling : Avoid formation of respirable particles. Do not breathe 

vapors/dust. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. For personal 

protection see section 8. Smoking, eating and drinking should

against fire and explosion at places where dust is formed. 

Storage

Requirements for storage 

areas and containers

: 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. Electrical installations / 

working materials must comply with the technological safety 

standards. 

SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection

Engineering measures

Consider the potential hazards of this material (see Section 2), applicable exposure limits, job 

activities, and other substances in the work place when designing engineering controls and selecting 

personal protective equipment. If engineering controls or work practices are not adequate to prevent 

exposure to harmful levels of this material, the personal protective equipment listed below is 

recommended. The user should read and understand all instructions and limitations supplied with 

the equipment since protection is usually provided for a limited time or under certain circumstances. 

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection : Wear a supplied-air NIOSH approved respirator unless 

ventilation or other engineering controls are adequate to 

maintain minimal oxygen content of 19.5% by volume under 

normal atmospheric pressure. Wear a NIOSH approved 

respirator that provides protection when working with this 

material if exposure to harmful levels of airborne material may 

occur, such as:. Dust safety masks are recommended when 

the dust concentration is excessive. Use a positive pressure, 

air-supplying respirator if there is potential for uncontrolled 

release, exposure levels are not known, or other circumstances 

where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate 

protection. 

Hand protection : The suitability for a specific workplace should be discussed 

with the producers of the protective gloves. Please observe 

the instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time 

which are provided by the supplier of the gloves. Also take into 

consideration the specific local conditions under which the 

product is used, such as the danger of cuts, abrasion, and the 

contact time. Gloves should be discarded and replaced if there 

is any indication of degradation or chemical breakthrough. 

Eye protection : Eye wash bottle with pure water. Safety glasses. Wear faceshield and protective suit for abnormal processing problems. 

Skin and body protection : Choose body protection according to the amount and 

concentration of the dangerous substance at the work place. 

Wear as appropriate:. Protective suit. Safety shoes. 

Hygiene measures : When using do not eat or drink. When using do not smoke. 

Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.
