Storage & Handling
General Information: This product should be stored, handled and used in accordance with good industrial hygiene practices and in conformity with any legal regulation. Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Promptly remove any clothing that becomes contaminated. Isolate contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. DO NOT take working clothes home.
Storage: NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking. Use a closed system, ventilation, spark-proof tools, explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment. Do not enter storage areas and confined spaces unless adequately ventilated. Store in an original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material. Keep container tightly closed and sealed when not in use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Store only if stabilized. Keep in the dark. Store in a cooled, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances (see section 10), any sources of ignition or heat (e.g. open flames, sparks, direct sunlight, smoking, hot surfaces), food, drink and.
