Cleaning methods Sweep up or pick up with vacuum cleaner spilled material
and dispose in a suitable drum.
Prevent the formation of dust.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Prevent formation of dust.
ensure adequate ventilation and dust collection at
machinery.
During thermal processing, extraction of vapours or
adequate ventilation is necessary.
General rules of fire prevention Normal preventive fire protection measures.
and explosion In case of dust being formed: take precautionary
measures against static discharges, keep away from
source of ignition.
Storage No special precautions required.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Components with workplace control parameters
CASnr.
Control parameters 5 mg/m³ TWA (Time Weight Average)
Exposure Respiratory
Control parameters 10 mg/m³ TWA (Time Weight Average)
Exposure inhalation
Technical measures In case of thermal processing, provide for extraction of
the vapours or adequate ventilation.
In case of dust being formed, provide for adequate
extraction.
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection The wearing of a dust mask is sufficient in the event of
dust occurring, e.g. feeding or cleaning operations.
Do not breath the vapours of hot material.
In case vapours are getting in the breathing air, during
thermal processing, respiratory equipment with filters
against organic vapours (e.g. A2) or a self-containing
breathing system is required.
