Page 4 of 8 Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices. These practices include avoiding unnecessary exposure and removal of the material from eyes, skin and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Always use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment(PPE). INHALATION: Do not breathe vapor. Use with adequate ventilation. SKIN: Avoid contact with skin and clothing. EYES: Do not get in eyes, 7.2 Storage Storage temperature depends on methanol content and should be controlled to avoid precipitation or vaporization. See technical bulletin for recommended storage temperatures. Remove plug slowly to relieve pressure. Store Parasite—S above 4.40C(400F). Formaldehyde solutions will start to precipitate paraformaldehyde if stored below their recommended storage temperatures making the freezing point difficult to determine. 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection 8.1 Exposure Controls ENGINEERING CONTROLS: The following exposure control techniques may be used to effectively minimize employee exposure: local exhaust ventilation, enclosed system design, process isolation and remote control in combination with appropriate use of personal protective equipment and prudent work practices. These techniques may not necessarily address all issues pertaining to your operations. We, therefore, recommend that you consult with experts of your choice to determine whether or not your programs are adequate. If airborne contaminants are generated when the material is heated or handled, sufficient ventilation in volume and air flow patterns should be provided to keep air contaminant concentration levels below acceptable criteria. 8.2 Personal Protection Where formaldehyde gas concentrations can exceed acceptable criteria, use NIOSH(42 CFR Part 84) approved full-facepiece respiratory protection equipment. Respirators should be selected based on the concentration of formaldehyde in air in accordance with the OSHA Formaldehyde Standard Respiratory Protection requirements at 29CFR 1910.1048y, and the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard at 29CFR 1910.134 or other applicable standards or guidelines, including ANSI standards regarding respiratory protection. A full-facepiece respirator with cartridges or canisters specifically approved for formaldehyde may be used for exposure levels up to 7.5 ppm (10 times the PEL). Chemical safety goggles must be worn if there is a possibility of contact with liquid formaldehyde or excessive gas-phase exposures. A full-facepiece respirator complies with this requirement. Wear protective gloves as required to prevent skin contact. Protective gloves must be worn when handling formaldehyde solutions of 1% or higher. Consult your glove manufacturer for specific information on permeation, degradation and breakthrough data to ensure proper selection. Based on available information, butyl, nitrile and Viton appear to be quite impervious to various strengths of formaldehyde solutions. Other glove materials may be equally suitable depending on composition, thickness and use conditions. Where high concentrations of formaldehyde may be present, such as in an emergency, full body protection should be worn. Other protective equipment that must be available when handling formaldehyde solutions of 1% or higher include eye wash fountains and safety showers. Reusable protective clothing should be cleaned and ventilated after any formaldehyde contamination.
