Handling and storage

* Precautions for safe handling

- Handle and open container with care.

- Avoid skin contact with leaking liquid (danger of frostbite).

- Use only in well-ventilated areas.

- Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.

- Purge piping circuits and equipment with nitrogen.

- Clean and dry piping circuits and equipment before any operations.

- No sparking tools should be used.

- Use only explosion-proof equipment.

- Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.

- To avoid thermal decomposition, do not overheat.

Hygiene measures

- Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.

- Gloves, overalls and boots have to be double layered (protection against cold temperature).

- Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately.

- Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.

- When using do not eat, drink or smoke.

- Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.

- Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

* Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Technical measures/Storage conditions
