Pick up and arrange disposal without creating dust. Sweep up and shovel. Keep in
suitable, closed containers for disposal.

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols.Further processing
of solid materials may result in the formation of combustible dusts. The potential for
combustible dust formation should be taken into consideration before additional processing
occurs.
Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed.
For precautions see section 2.2.

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Appropriate engineering controls
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wash hands before breaks and immediately
after handling the product.
Personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Face shield and safety glasses Use equipment for eye protection tested and
approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN
166(EU).
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 and good laboratory practices. Wash 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
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a fullface
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 such as NIOSH (US) or CEN
(EU).
