Disposal information.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be stored and used under conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with any local regulations in order to avoid exposure.

Engineering controls are necessary to reduce exposure to the substance.

When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlledappropriate personal protective equipment should be worn.

Such protective equipment should conform to the appropriate international or national standards as follows;

Chemical protective gloves to Standard EN374

Chemical protective clothing to Standard EN368

Eye protection to Standard EN166.

Furthermore, when respiratory protective equipment has to be used, it must be capable of adequately controlling exposure,be suitable for the purpose, and

conform to the appropriate international or national standards, such as a dust mask conforming to EN149, FFP1.

These measures should be regarded as a minimum.

Storage: Store in a dry well-ventilated area, away from sources of ignition.

Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Open top steel drums / fibreboard boxes, approximately 25 kg per item.
