Storage & Safety

• Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as acids, combustibles, and reducing agents.
• Avoid moisture, high temperature, and direct sunlight.
• Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use.
• Handling: Handle with care. Use appropriate protective equipment, including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat, when handling the product.
• Use non-sparking tools and equipment to prevent accidental ignition.
• Spill Procedures: In case of spillage, use dry, inert absorbent material (such as sand or vermiculite) to collect the material. Avoid using water or acidic materials to neutralize the spill.
