Store protected from light. Use and store under nitrogen. Store and handle protected from air. Wash clothing before reuse. Discard contaminated shoes. | |
| [Ingestion] May cause digestive tract disturbances. Expected to be a low ingestion hazard. | |
| [Inhalation] May cause respiratory tract irritation. In rare instances, exposure may cause sensitization, resulting in inflammation of the mucous membranes and in eczematous eruptions. | |
| [Skin] May cause skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. | |
| [Eyes] May cause eye irritation. | |
| [Personal Protection] Eyes: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166.
