Storage & Safety

Storage Conditions:

• Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place.
• Keep away from heat sources, flammable materials, and reducing agents.
• Ensure containers are tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.

Moisture Protection:

• Use airtight containers with moisture-proof lining.
• Store with desiccants to maintain a dry environment.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to humid conditions.

Safety Precautions:

• Wear protective gloves, goggles, and a dust mask when handling.
• Avoid inhalation of dust and direct skin contact.
• Use spark-free tools and equipment to prevent ignition.
• In case of spills, use inert absorbent materials and dispose of waste according to regulations.
