| Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities | Store the container tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Store apart from foodstuff containers or incompatible materials. |
| Storage incompatibility | May react, explosively with magnesium and chlorinated rubber when heated Incompatible with linseed oil (may cause ignition) WARNING: Avoid or control reaction with peroxides. All transition metal peroxides should be considered as potentially explosive. For example transition metal complexes of alkyl hydroperoxides may decompose explosively. The pi-complexes formed between chromium(0), vanadium(0) and other transition metals (haloarene-metal complexes) and mono-or poly-fluorobenzene show extreme sensitivity to heat and are explosive. Metals and their oxides may react violently with chlorine trifluoride and bromine trifluoride. These trifluorides are hypergolic oxidisers. They ignite on contact (without external source of heat or ignition) with recognised fuels - contact with these materials, following an ambient or slightly elevated temperature, is often violent and may produce ignition. Avoid strong acids, bases. |

| Advice on general occupational hygiene | Advice on safe handling Observe label precautions. Change contaminated clothing. Wash hands after working with substance. |
| Requirements for storage | Keep in cool and store under shade. |
| Occupational Exposure limit values | The product does not contain any relevant quantity of materials with critical values that have to be monitored at the work place. |
| Exposure controls | General protective hygienic measures: Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and food, Instantly remove any solid and impregnated garments, Wash hands during breaks and at the end of the work, Maintain an ergonomically appropriate working environment, Handle in accordance with safety practice. Appropriate engineering controls Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to provide this high level of protection. The basic types of engineering controls are: Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk. Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker and ventilation that strategically "adds" and "removes" air in the work environment. |
| Engineering Control | Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit. |
| Eye/face protection | Face shield. Safety glasses with side shields .Soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. |
| Body Protection | Choose body protection in relation to its type, to the concentration and amount of dangerous substances, and to the specific work-place., The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace. |
| Skin protection | The selection of suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality which vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Where the chemical is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application. The exact break through time for substances has to be obtained from the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed when making a final choice. Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care. Experience indicates that the following polymers are suitable as glove materials for protection against undissolved, dry solids, where abrasive particles are not present. o Polychloroprene. o Nitrile rubber. o Butyl rubber. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (Without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands. Penetration time of glove material in minutes: > 480, Glove thickness: 0.11 mm. Complete suit protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace. Wear safety shoes. |
| Respiratory protection | Respirators may be necessary when engineering and administrative controls do not adequately prevent exposures.The decision to use respiratory protection should be based on professional judgment that takes into account toxicity information, exposure measurement data, and frequency and likelihood of the worker's exposure - ensure users are not subject to high thermal loads which may result in heat stress or distress due to personal protective equipment (powered, positive flow, full face apparatus may be an option). Published occupational exposure limits, where they exist, will assist in determining the adequacy of the selected respiratory protection. These may be government mandated or vendor recommended. Certified respirators will be useful for protecting workers from inhalation of particulates when properly selected and fit tested as part of a complete respiratory protection program. Use approved positive flow mask if significant quantities of dust becomes airborne. Try to avoid creating dust conditions. |
