Ensure adequate ventilation at point of use. Use a NIOSH/EN/DOSH approved respirator where the dust levels are above OEL value. STORAGE Store in a dry environment. High humidity causes caking of the powder. Isolate from toxic substances to avoid contamination. Avoid unsegregated storage with incompatible materials, which decompose in the presence of dusts and weak acid such as cyanides, sulfates and peroxides. Avoid long-term contact with galvanized or mild steel surfaces under damp conditions. Avoid storage with unsaturated organic compounds. 13.

8 Eye Protection Respiratory Protection Maximum Occupational Exposure Limits (MOEL) in terms of respirable crystalline silica:- No further skin protection required unless there is a possibility of prolonged personal contact then appropriate protective skin cover is recommended. Wear safety glasses with side shields. Eye wash bottles should be provided at places where accidental exposure may be possible. Contact lenses should not be worn. NIOSH/EN/DOSH approved respirators should be used if the Occupational Exposure Standard (OES) or TLVs cannot be met even after instituting engineering controls. WEL/OES HSE (UK) : 0.3mg/m3 TWA MAC- MSZW (Netherlands) : 0.075mg/m3 TWA ACGIH (USA) : 0.05mg/m3 TWA Due to variation in MOEL, users are advised to refer to the relevant MOEL adopted in the countries concerned. TWA quoted above are for 8-hour time weighted average. 14.
