7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Avoid skin contact with hot material. For industrial or professional use only. Do not use in a confined area or areas with
little or no air movement. Store work clothes separately from other clothing, food and tobacco products. Do not eat, drink or
smoke when using this product. Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid release to the environment. No smoking: Smoking
while using this product can result in contamination of the tobacco and/or smoke and lead to the formation of hazardous
decomposition products.
7.2. Conditions for safe storage including any incompatibilities
Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. Store away from heat. Store away from strong bases.
7.3. Specific end use(s)
See information in Section 7.1 and 7.2 for handling and storage recommendations. See Section 8 for exposure controls and
personal protection recommendations.

8.2. Exposure controls
8.2.1. Engineering controls
For those situations where the material might be exposed to extreme overheating due to misuse or equipment failure, use with
appropriate local exhaust ventilation sufficient to maintain levels of thermal decomposition products below their exposure
guidelines. Use general dilution ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne exposures to below relevant
Exposure Limits and/or control dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. If ventilation is not adequate, use respiratory protection
equipment.
8.2.2. Personal protective equipment (PPE)
Eye/face protection
As a good industrial hygiene practice:
Wear eye/face protection.
Skin/hand protection
As a good industrial hygiene practice:
Wear protective gloves.
