Guidance on Safe Use

Handling and storage

Tis substance should be handled at all sites under the Strictly Controlled Conditions as specified in REACH regulation Article 18(4). Site documentation to support safe handling arrangements including the selection of engineering, administrative and personal protective equipment controls in accordance with risk-based management systems is available at each manufacturing site.
Written confirmation of application of Strictly Controlled Conditions has been received from every affected Distributor and Downstream Processor/User of the Registrant’s intermediate.
Advice on safer handling: Take care to maintain clean working place. The substance must not be present at workplaces in quantities above that required for work to be progressed. Do not leave container open. Use leak-proof equipment with exhaust for refilling or transfer. Avoid spillage. Fill only into labelled container. Avoid any contact when handling the substance. Avoid rising dust. Use an appropriate exterior vessel when transporting in fragile containers.

Body protection: Wear dust tight protective clothing.
Respiratory protection: In an emergency (e.g.: unintentional release of the substance) respiratory protection must be worn. Consider the maximum period for wear. Respiratory protection: Particle filter P2 or P3, colour code white. Respiratory protection: insulating device. Use for concentrations above the usage limits for filter devices, for oxygen concentrations below 17% volume, or in circumstances which are unclear.
Eye protection: Sufficient eye protection should be worn. Wear glasses with side protection.
Hand protection: Use protective gloves. The glove material must be sufficiently impermeable and resistant to the substance. Check the tightness before wear. Gloves should be well cleaned before being removed, then stored in a well ventilated location. Pay attention to skin care. Currently there is no information available regading suitable glove materials. Ask the manufacturer for suitable materials.
Skin protection: Skin protection preparations do not protect sufficiently against the substance. Wear protective gloves. The skin must be washed with soap and water before breaks and at the end of work. Apply fatty skin-care products after washing.
