Storage and Handling
Storage Conditions
• Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place and keep the container tightly closed.
• Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, hot surfaces, and other sources of ignition. No smoking in storage or handling areas.
• Store in an area accessible only to qualified or authorized personnel and maintain appropriate chemical storage controls.
• Keep opened containers carefully resealed and stored upright to prevent leakage.
• Store under inert gas, where specified by the applicable MSDS.
• Maintain storage conditions according to the recommended temperature indicated on the product label/SDS.
• Keep away from incompatible materials including acids, bases, ammonia, amines, sodium/sodium oxides, zinc, magnesium, aluminium and its alloys, and halides.
Handling Precautions
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes and avoid inhalation of vapour or mist.
• Handle in a well-ventilated area or under suitable local exhaust ventilation.
• Use appropriate PPE, including chemical-resistant gloves, chemical splash goggles, and protective clothing.
• Take precautions against static discharge during handling and transfer.
• Keep away from sources of ignition and do not smoke during handling.
• Ensure eyewash facilities and safety showers are readily accessible in areas where the product is handled.
• In case of spillage, ensure adequate ventilation, wear appropriate protective equipment, prevent the material from entering drains, watercourses, or the ground, and collect the spilled material using suitable procedures.
• Always refer to the latest MSDS/SDS for detailed emergency response, PPE, storage, handling, and disposal requirements.
