7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling
Avoid breathing in dust. To prevent explosion hazards, do not allow dust to settle on surfaces. It is
recommend that all dust control equipment and material transport systems involved in handling of this
product contain explosion relief vents or explosion suppression systems. All conductive elements of the
system that contact this material should be electrically bonded and grounded.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Provide local exhaust or general room ventilation to minimize dust and/or vapour concentrations. Keep
container closed when not in use.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure controls
Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they comply with the
requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering
modifications to the process equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
Eyes
Use tightly sealed goggles.
Skin
Page 2/6
If skin contact or contamination of clothing is likely, protective clothing should be worn. Use protective
gloves.
Respiratory
Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and
the safe working limits of the selected respirator.
Recommended: Use appropriate NIOSH approved dust respirator if PEL/TLV may be exceeded.
