7. Handling and storage
Handling : Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Vapours may form explosive
mixtures with air. Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive concentrations of vapour in
air and avoid vapour concentration higher than the occupational exposure limits.
In addition, the product should only be used in areas from which all naked lights and other
sources of gnition have been excluded. Electrical equipment should be protected to the
appropriate standard.
To dissipate static electricity during transfer, earth drum and connect to receiving container
with bonding strap. Operators should wear anti-static footwear and clothing and floors
should be of the conducting type.
Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. No sparking tools
should be used.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid the inhalation of dust, particulates and spray mist
arising from the application of this preparation. Avoid inhalation of dust from sanding.
Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in area where this material is handled,
stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and
smoking.
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8).
Never use pressure to empty : container is not a pressure vessel. Always keep in containers
of same material as the original one.
Comply with the health and safety at work laws.
When operators, whether spraying or not, have to work inside the spray booth, ventilation is
unlikely to be sufficient to control particulates and solvent vapour in all cases. In such
circumstances they should wear a compressed air-fed respirator during the spraying
process and until such time as the particulates and solvent vapour concentration has fallen
below the exposure limits.
Storage : Store in accordance with local regulations. Observe label precautions. Store in a cool,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials and ignition sources.
Keep away from: oxidising agents, strong alkalis, strong acids.
No smoking. Prevent unauthorised access. Containers which are opened must be carefully
resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.
Do not empty into drains..
