SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Safety Handling Precautions

PPE Required:

  • Gloves (nitrile or PVC)
  • Safety goggles or face shield
  • Protective clothing if contact is possible during bulk handling

Handling Guidelines:

  • Prevent aerosol formation; avoid inhalation of spray mists
  • Clean spills with absorbent material, dispose per local regulations
  • Maintain container hygiene to avoid microbial contamination

Storage Measures:

  • Keep sealed and stored away from freezing; gently roll before drawing to re-distribute solids
  • Use FIFO system to avoid age-related gel formation
  • Avoid contact with oxidizing agents

Hygiene Practices:

  • Wash hands after handling
  • Do not eat, drink, or smoke during use
  • Clean splash areas to prevent slips or accidental contact

First Aid Measures

  • Inhalation: Move to fresh air; seek medical attention if respiratory distress occurs
  • Skin Contact: Rinse with water; wash with soap if prolonged exposure
  • Eye Contact: Flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes; seek medical care if irritation persists
  • Ingestion: Rinse mouth; drink water; seek medical help if large amounts ingested

Firefighting Measures

  • Fire Hazards: Not flammable; water-based emulsion
  • Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical, or COâ‚‚ based on surrounding fire
  • Special Precautions: Wear full firefighting PPE and SCBA
  • Decomposition Products: May release CO, COâ‚‚, low-level volatile organic compounds at high heat
