Avoid temperatures exceeding 80°C.
Avoid temperatures above 80°C and strong oxidizing agents.
Ambient temperatures and atmospheric pressures normally encountered within buildings or roofed-
over outdoor storage areas are acceptable. Avoid entering areas where mists or vapours have built
up as a result of abnormal temperatures or pressures without the proper breathing equipment and
protective clothing.
