SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Avoid eye contact. For industrial or professional use only. Avoid release to the environment. Avoid breathing of dust
created by sanding, grinding or machining. Damaged product can break apart during use and cause serious injury to face or
eyes. Check product for damage such as cracks or nicks prior to use. Replace if damaged. Always wear eye and face
protection when working at sanding or grinding operations or when near such operations. Sparks and particles flying from
the product during sanding or grinding can cause injury and fire. Combustible dust may form by action of this product on
another material (substrate). Dust generated from the substrate during use of this product may be explosive if in sufficient
concentration with an ignition source. Dust deposits should not be allowed to accumulate on surfaces because of the potential
for secondary explosions.
7.2. Conditions for safe storage including any incompatibilities
No special storage requirements.
