Storage: Ensure good ventilation and local exhaust extraction in work place. Minimise creation of air-borne dust by application of good occupational hygiene principles, appropriate control measures and extraction techniques. Use dustless or wet systems when handling and clean up to that the particles may not raise in air. Practice good house keeping, maintain ventilation system and post appropriate warning notices where product is used, stored.
Usage and application of Light Kaolin B.P.: This natural clay mineral results in its excellent absorption, intermediate adsorption capacity and high coverage volume.
