See Section 13 for disposal information.

7 Handling and storage

· Handling:

· Precautions for safe handling

Safe handling advice: Observe good chemical hygiene practices. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Good personal hygiene is necessary. Wash hands and contaminated areas with water and soap before leaving the work site.

Technical measures: Work practice should minimise contact. Technical aids: Use disposable equipment (rags, brushes, spatulas, putty knives, etc.), if possible.

Technical precautions: First-aid equipment, including eye wash bottle, must be available at the work site.

· Information about fire - and explosion protection: No special measures required.

· Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

· Storage:

· Requirements to be met by storerooms and receptacles:

Store in closed original container in a dry place.

· Information about storage in one common storage facility: Avoid contact with oxidising agents.

· Control parameters

· Ingredients with limit values that require monitoring at the workplace:

The product does not contain any relevant quantities of materials with critical values that have to be monitored at the workplace.

· Additional information: The lists valid during the making were used as basis.

· Exposure controls

Mix and prepare in a place with efficient exhaust ventilation. An eye wash bottle must be available at the work site.

· Personal protective equipment:

· General protective and hygienic measures:

Personal protection equipment should be chosen according to the CEN standards and in discussion with the supplier of the personal protective equipment.

Remove contaminated clothing and wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water after work. When using do not eat, drink or smoke.

· Respiratory protection:

In case of inadequate ventilation and work of brief duration, use suitable respiratory equipment. Use respiratory equipment with gas filter, type K.

· Protection of hands:



Protective gloves

Use disposable gloves protecting against epoxy along with cotton gloves closest to the skin.

Laminate (PE/EVOH) gloves are recommended. The most suitable glove must be chosen in consultation with the gloves supplier, who can inform about the breakthrough time of the glove material.

· Material of gloves

The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. As the product is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application.

· Penetration time of glove material

The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.

· Eye protection:



Tightly sealed goggles

Face shield.

· Body protection: Risk of contact: Wear apron or protective clothing in case of splashes.
