SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling :
Good industrial hygienic practice requires that employee exposure be maintained to below the recommended
TLV. This is preferably achieved though the provision of adequate ventilation where necessary. When dust
cannot be controlled in this way, personal respiratory protection should be employed. Follow all MSDS and
label precautions even after container is emptied since it may contain residual material.
Storage :
Store containers closed in a cool dry place. Avoid storage in areas above 40 degrees Centigrade. Avoid direct
sunlight, heat, sparks, and open flames.
