Section 7. Handling and Storage
PrecautionsKeep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty containers pose a fire risk, evaporate the
residue under a fume hood. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not ingest. Do not breathe
gas/fumes/ vapor/spray. Wear suitable protective clothing. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and
show the container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from incompatibles such as
oxidizing agents.
StorageKeep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.

Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering ControlsProvide 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 ProtectionSplash goggles. Lab coat. Gloves. Respiratory protection is not necessary for normal handling. Good room
ventilation or use of 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 Spillspecialist BEFORE handling this product.
