7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Safe Handling Use only in well-ventilated area. Avoid inhalation of dust, and skin or eye
contact.
Safe Storage Keep in a cool dry place (0 to 30 °C) out of direct sunlight and moisture. Store
away from alkalis, water and other incompatible materials.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

National Exposure No exposure standard has been established for this product by ASCC. Use
Standards local exhaust if misting occurs. Natural ventilation is adequate in the absence
of mists. The measures appropriate for a particular worksite depend on how
this material is used and on the extent of exposure. Use this general
information to help develop specific control measures. Ensure that control
systems are properly designed and maintained and comply with occupational,
environmental, fire, and other applicable regulations.
Biological Limit Values No biological limit allocated.
Engineering Controls This substance is harmful and should be used with a local exhaust ventilation
system, drawing dust away from workers’ breathing zone. If local exhaust is
used, ensure sufficient air is replaced to compensate the air that has been
removed. Refer to AS/NZS 2430.3.1:1997: Classification of hazardous areas –
Examples of area classification – General.
Respiratory Protection If engineering controls are not effective in controlling airborne exposure, then
a half face piece respirator with a replaceable organic vapour filter should be
used. Reference should be made to Australian Standards AS/NZS 1715,
Selection, Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Devices; and
AS/NZS 1716, Respiratory Protective Devices, in order to make any necessary
changes for individual circumstances.
Eye Protection Safety glasses or goggles should be worn as described in Australian Standard
AS/ANZ 1337, Eye Protectors for Industrial Applications.
Hand Protection Butyl, neoprene or nitrile gloves are recommended when using this product.
Body Protection Suitable workwear should be worn to protect personal clothing. When large
quantities are handled, the use of plastic aprons and rubber boots is
recommended.
