Section 7: Handling and Storage

Precautions:

Keep 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. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory

equipment. 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, metals, acids.

Storage: Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.

 

Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Engineering Controls:

Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their

work-station location.

Personal Protection:

Splash goggles. Lab coat. Vapor respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent.

Gloves.

Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill:

Splash goggles. Full suit. Vapor respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be

used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist

BEFORE handling this product.

Special Remarks on Toxicity to Animals: Not available.

Special Remarks on Chronic Effects on Humans:

May affect genetic material (mutagenic).

May cause adverse reproductive effects based on animal test data. No human data found

Special Remarks on other Toxic Effects on Humans:

Potential Health Effects:

Skin: Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause severe skin irritation. A single prolonged exposure may result

in the material being absorbed in harmul amounts. Prolonged or repeated skin contact which causes the material

to be absorbed through the skin may affect the thyroid.

Eyes: May cause moderate eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely.

Inhalation: Mists may cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract (nose and throat). Symptoms may include

burning senstation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, nausea, and vomiting.

Ingestion: Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be low. Small amounts swallowed incidental to normal

handling operations are not likely to cause injury; swallowing amounts larger than that may cause injury. May

cause nausea and vomiting. May affect behavior/central nervous system (convulsions, ataxia). Prolonged or

repeated ingestion may affect thyroid.
