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 breathe dust. Avoid contact with eyes Wear suitable protective

clothing In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment If you feel unwell, seek medical attention and

show the label when possible. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, acids.

Storage:

Keep container dry. Keep in a cool place. Ground all equipment containing material. Keep container tightly closed. Keep in a

cool, well-ventilated place. Combustible materials should be stored away from extreme heat and away from strong oxidizing

agents.
