Place unusable material in clearly labelled containers or plastic bags for disposal. Wet residues are slippery, wash floors to remove all traces.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE 7.1 Precautions for safe handling: Avoid spilling. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Use mechanical ventilation if there is a risk of handling causing formation of airborne dust. Avoid inhalation of dust. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Wear suitable protective equipment for prolonged exposure and/or high concentrations of vapours, spray or mist. 7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Keep dry. Packs should be stored closed to avoid moisture ingress. Avoid prolonged contact with metals. Do not use food containers for storage due to risk of mistake. Conditions of collocated storage: Storage class 10 - 13 (Other liquids and solids) Only substances of the same storage class should be stored together.
