Storage & Handling

Storage And Handling

Precautions for safe handling 

Advice on safe handling

• Wear personal protective equipment. Handle and open container with care. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
• Stainless steel vessels (Steel No. 1.4541 or 1.4571), at 50-70°C under nitrogen blanketing, about 12 months, in drums about 6 months.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion

• Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery and at places where dust can be generated..

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Storage class (TRGS 510)

• 6.1C: Combustible, acute toxic Cat.3 / toxic compounds or compounds which causing chronic effects
