Precautionary Measures: Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
Keep container closed. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Special Handling Statements: Containers must be bonded and grounded when pouring or transferring material.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Areas containing this material should have fire safe practices and electrical equipment in accordance with
applicable regulations and/or guidelines. Standards are primarily based on the material`s flashpoint, but may also
take into account properties such as miscibility with water or toxicity. All local and national regulations should be
followed.
In the Americas, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 30: Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code, is a
widely used standard. NFPA 30 establishes storage conditions for the following classes of materials: Class I
Flammable Liquids, Flashpoint <37.8 °C. Class II Combustible Liquids, 37.8 °C < Flashpoint <60 °C. Class IIIa
Combustible Liquids, 60 °C < Flashpoint < 93 °C. Class IIIb Combustible Liquids, Flashpoint > 93 °C.
Storage Temperature: Store at 10 °C
Reason: Quality.
VCI Storage Class: 3 A
