Storage & Handling

Storage & Handling
  • Normal safety precautions (e.g., gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling MAPROSYL 30-B. Contact with eyes, nose or prolonged contact with skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling MAPROSYL 30-B. 
  • Non-Bulk Storage Recommendations: MAPROSYL 30-B should be stored in closed containers and kept in cool, dry place away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS). It is recommended that MAPROSYL 30-B be stored in sealed containers and kept at temperatures between 50°F (10°C) and 120° (49°C). Avoid overheating or freezing. If material is frozen, mild heat and agitation are recommended to ensure the material is homogeneous before use. If material is frozen it should be heated gently and stirred to ensure is homogeneous prior to use.
Workplace Exposure

Occupational exposure can occur primarily through skin contact or via inhalation of vapors and mists. Engineering controls, personal protective equipment, and other workplace safety practices should be used to control these exposures.
