CAS-No. 58-33-3 -
EC-No. 200-375-2
Precautions for safe handling : Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols.
Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed.
Normal measures for preventive fire protection.
Conditions for safe storage,
including any incompatibilities : Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-
ventilated place. Air, light, and moisture sensitive.
Skin protection : Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper
glove removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid
skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use
in accordance with applicable laws. W ash and dry hands.
Body Protection : Complete suit protecting against chemicals, the type of protective
equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount
of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
Respiratory protection : W here risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate
use a full-face particle respirator type N99 (US) or type P2 (EN 143)
respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator
is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator.
Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate
government standards.
