Storage & Safety
- Storage Conditions:
- Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place.
- Keep containers tightly closed and avoid exposure to moisture.
- Avoid storing near heat sources, open flames, or combustible materials.
- Protect from direct sunlight and store away from reducing agents or organic materials to prevent hazardous reactions.
- Moisture Control:
- Store in sealed containers to prevent moisture absorption, which could lead to degradation.
- Ensure storage area is dry, and relative humidity is controlled below 50%.
- Safety Notes:
- Handling: Always wear protective gloves, goggles, and a respirator when handling Magnesium Perchlorate to avoid skin and eye contact or inhalation of dust.
- Spill Handling: In case of a spill, use an inert material (such as sand or dry earth) to contain and transfer to a suitable disposal container. Do not use water to clean up the spill.
- Fire Safety: If exposed to fire, use large amounts of water or foam to extinguish. Magnesium Perchlorate is an oxidizer and can intensify fires.
