Advice on safe handling

Open and handle container with care.
Provide good ventilation of working area (local exhaust ventilation if necessary).
Advice on protection against fire and explosion
Keep away from sources of ignition - refrain from smoking.
Take precautionary measures against electrostatic charges - earthing necessary during
loading operations.
Further information on storage conditions
Protect from heat and direct sunlight
- sensitive to frost - In case of the product becoming opaque, thickening or being frozen due
to the effects of cold, allow to thaw slowly at room temperature. Stir briefly before use.

8. Exposure controls / personal protection

Occupational exposure controls
General protective measures
Avoid contact with eyes and skin
Do not inhale vapours
Hygiene measures
Observe the usual precautions when handling chemicals.
Respiratory protection : Use respiratory protection in case of insufficient exhaust
ventilation or prolonged exposure
Full mask to standard DIN EN 136
Filter A (organic gases and vapours) to standard DIN EN 141
The use of filter apparatus presupposes that the environment
atmosphere contains at least 17% oxygen by volume, and
does not exceed the maximum gas concentration, usually
0.5% by volume. Relevant guidelines to be considered
include EN 136/141/143/371/372 as well as other national
regulations.
Hand protection : For long-term exposure:
Butyl rubber gloves
Minimum breakthrough time / gloves : 480 min
Minimum thickness / gloves 0,7 mm

For short-term exposure (splash protection):

Nitrile rubber gloves.
Minimum breakthrough time / gloves : 30 min
Minimum thickness / gloves 0,4 mm

These types of protective gloves are offered by various

manufacturers. Please note the manufacturers´ detailed
statements, especially about the minimum thickness and the
minimum breakthrough time. Consider also the particular
working conditions under which the gloves are being used.

glasses with side protection or goggles, and if necessary, face
shield.)
Body protection : Depending on the degree of hazard, when handling corrosive
substances, aprons, boots or full protective clothing made of
suitable materials (e.g. rubberized or PVC-coated) must also
be worn.
