Section 7. Handling and Storage
Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty containers pose a fire risk, evaporate the residue
Precautions
under a fume hood. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not breathe gas/fumes/ vapor/spray. Keep away
from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, alkalis.
Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
Storage

Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their
Engineering Controls
respective threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the work-station
location.
Personal ProtectionSafety glasses. Synthetic apron. Gloves (impervious).
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 Splash goggles. Full suit. Boots. Gloves. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist
