  Section 7. Handling and Storage  
 Precautions 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 breathe dust. 
 Storage Keep container dry. Keep in a cool place. Ground all equipment containing material. Keep container tightly 
 closed. Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place. Combustible materials should be stored away from extreme heat 
 and away from strong oxidizing agents. 
 
  Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  
 Engineering Controls Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below 
 recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to 
 airborne contaminants below the exposure limit. 
 Personal Protection Safety glasses. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Gloves.
