ingest. Do not breathe gas/fumes/ vapor/spray. Avoid contact with eyes. Wear suitable protective clothing. If
ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Keep away from incompatibles
such as oxidizing agents.
Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Avoid
Storage
all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame). Sensitive to light. Store in light-resistant containers.
Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their
respective threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the
work-station location.
Personal Protection Splash goggles. Lab coat. Gloves.
Respiratory protection is not necessary for normal handling. Adequate general (room) ventilation or local exhaust
(fume hood) is sufficient. Use a vapor respirator under conditions where exposure to the substance is apparent
(e.g. generation of high concentrations of mist or vapor, inadequate ventilation, development of respiratory tract
irritation), and engineering controls are not feasible. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent.
Personal Protection in Case of Splash goggles. Full suit. Boots. Gloves. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a
a Large Spill specialist BEFORE handling this product.
