7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices.
These practices include avoiding unnecessary exposure and removal of material from eyes, skin and clothing.
Emptied containers retain vapour and product residue. Observe all recommended safety precautions until container
is cleaned, reconditioned or destroyed. The reuse of this material's container for non industrial purposes is
prohibited and any reuse must be in consideration of the data provided in this material safety data sheet.
Storage
General: Stable under normal conditions of handling and storage.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Eye protection: Does not cause significant eye irritation or eye toxicity requiring special protection.
Use good industrial practice to avoid eye contact.
Hand protection: This product does not present significant skin concern requiring special protection.
Body protection: Although this product does not present a significant skin concern, minimize skin
contamination by following good industrial practice.
Respiratory protection: Avoid breathing dust.
Use approved respiratory protection equipment when airborne exposure limits are
exceeded.
Consult the respirator manufacturer to determine the appropriate type of equipment for
a given application.
Observe respirator use limitations specified by the manufacturer.
Ventilation: Provide natural or mechanical ventilation to minimize exposure.
If practical, use local mechanical exhaust ventilation at sources of air contamination
such as processing equipment.
