Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty containers pose a fire risk, evaporate the residue under
a fume hood. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not ingest. Do not breathe dust. Avoid contact with eyes. Wear
suitable protective clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. If ingested, seek medical
advice immediately and show the container or the label. Keep away from incompatibles such as alkalis.
Storage: Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.

Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
