SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN!
Precaution for safe handling: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and
aerosols. Further processing of solid materials may result in the formation of combustible dusts.
The potential for combustible dust formation should be taken into consideration before additional
processing occur. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. Keep
away from sources of ignition. No smoking. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. For
precautions see section 2.
STORAGE: Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well ventilated place. Never allow product
to get in contact with water during storage. Do not store near acids. Keep in a dry place.
