The substance/ product may be handled only by appropriately trained personnel. Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas. When filling, transferring, or emptying of containers, adequate local exhaust ventilation is necessary. Vent waste air to atmosphere only through suitable separators. Check the condition of seals and connector screw threads. Protect contents from the effects of light. Protect from direct sunlight. Protect against heat. Do not open warm or swollen product containers. Remove persons to safety and alert fire brigade. Ensure adequate inhibitor and dissolved oxygen level. Because of the possible separation from the stabilizer the product should never be partially melted and taken. Ensure that there is no crystallized product in the container before use. Obtain Information from supplier/ manufacturer before dissolving totally or partially crystallized product. The ambient temperature of the container may not exceed the stated temperature limit when melting the product or keeping it at moderate temperature. Ground and/or bond all equipment to prevent electrostatic charges. Avoid all sources of ignition: heat, sparks, open flame. Protection against fire and explosion: Ground all transfer equipment properly to prevent electrostatic discharge. Containers should be grounded against electrostatic charge. It is recommended that all conductive parts of the machinery are grounded. Vapours may form ignitable mixture with air. Avoid all sources of ignition: heat, sparks, open flame. Heated containers should be cooled to prevent polymerization. If exposed to fire, keep containers cool by spraying with water. Vapours are heavier than air and may accumulate in low areas and travel a considerable distance up to the source of ignition. Temperature class: T2 (Autoignition temperature >300 °C). Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Segregate from combustible materials. Further information on storage conditions: Prior to storage ensure that the transfer equipment used and the intended storage containers do not contain other substances/products. Before transfer to stock the identity of the product must be proved to be without doubt. The entrance to storage rooms is to be granted only to appropriately trained personnel. The stabilizer is only effective in the presence of oxygen. Maintain contact with atmosphere containing 5 - 21% oxygen. Never use tanks with inert-gas installation for storage. Risk of polymerization. Protect against heat. Avoid UV-light and other radiation with high energy. Protect against contamination.
