Handling
Gaseous products of degradation can be given off if the product is
greatly overheated: monomers, other degradation products, traces of
hydrogen cyanide.
Avoid inhalation of vapour.
Processing machines must be fitted with local exhaust ventilation.
When the product is ground (chopped), dust explosion regulations
should be noted. ( VDI guideline 3673, 2263(Germany) )
Storage
Keep in a dry place.

Components with workplace control parameters
The following can be given off when the product is processed
(traces):
Styrene: CAS鈭扤o. 100鈭?42鈭?5
Observe the appropriate MAK value (Germany);
TRGS 900 (Germany)
