Methods for Clean-Up: Sweep up and collect material in a suitable, closed, labeled container for disposal. Wash spill area thoroughly with plenty of water. Provide ventilation to impacted area.
Handling: Work in a well-ventilated place. Avoid dust generation and breathing dusts. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wear appropriate PPE such as gloves and goggles.
Storage: Keep container tightly closed. Store at room temperature away from incompatible materials such as acids and oxidizers. Avoid moisture contact; keep container dry. Secure storage area and restrict access as necessary.
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits for this specific substance. Practice good industrial hygiene.
Engineering Controls: Use in fume hood or with adequate local exhaust ventilation.
Personal Protective Equipment: Wear appropriate safety glasses or goggles, chemical-resistant gloves, and protective lab coat. Use an approved dust respirator if dust generation cannot be controlled.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the substance. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
