7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

7.1 Precautions for safe handling

Do not store near or with any of the incompatible materials listed in section 10. Store in original container.
Keep tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and
sources of ignition.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
See also section 8. Wear personal protective equipment. Always replace cap after use. Avoid contact with
skin, eyes and clothing. Do not breathe vapours or spray mist. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Keep away
from heat and sources of ignition. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
7.3 Specific end use(s)
Fertilizer

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

8.1 Control parameters

8.1.1 Threshold limits
Formaldehyde gas STEL: 0.3 (ppm) from ACGIH (TLV) [United States] STEL: 0.37 (mg/m3) from ACGIH
(TLV) [United States] TWA: 0.75 STEL: 2 (ppm) from OSHA (PEL) [United States] TWA: 2 STEL: 2 (ppm)
[United Kingdom (UK)] TWA: 2.5 STEL: 2.5 (mg/m3) [United Kingdom (UK)
8.1.2 Other information on limit values
No data available.
8.1.3 DNELs
No data available.
8.1.4 PNECs
No data available.
8.2 Exposure controls
8.2.1 Appropriate engineering controls
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Use only in area provided
with appropriate exhaust ventilation.
8.2.2 Eye/face protection
Safety glasses (EN 166).
8.2.3 Individual protection measures
Local exhaust ventilation should be used to control worker exposure to below recommended Permissible
Exposure Levels (PEL).
8.2.4 Skin protection
Wear gloves and appropriate safety gear to prevent irritation in situation where direct contact with the
product may occur.
8.2.5 Hand protection
Rubber gloves (EN 374).
The selection of specific gloves for a specific application and time of use in a working area, should also take
into account other factors on the working space, such as (but not limited to): other chemicals that are
possibly used, physical requirements (protection against cutting/drilling, skill, thermal protection), and the
instructions/specification of the gloves supplier.
8.2.6 Respiratory protection
Protection is not normally required. Wear a dust mask or other appropriate respiratory protection during
operations that generate airborne dust concentrations exceeding the relevant standards or when effective
engineering controls are not feasible. Respiratory protection approved by NIOSH/OSHA for protection
against dust should be used to avoid inhalation. Appropriate respiration selection depends on the type and
magnitude of exposure. In case of insufficient ventilation wear suitable respiratory equipment. (filter type: A2/
NO)
8.2.7 Environmental exposure controls
Avoid release into the environment.
