Safety Precautions

CORROSIVE MATERIAL - Professional handling required. Class 8 corrosive liquid requiring comprehensive ventilation systems and food-grade handling protocols. Store in cool, well-ventilated areas below 77°F (25°C). Mandatory PPE includes food-grade chemical-resistant gloves (neoprene or rubber, minimum 0.4mm thickness), splash-proof chemical goggles, face shield, and acid-resistant protective clothing suitable for food processing areas. Work only in properly ventilated areas with sanitary ventilation systems. Maintain exposure levels below OSHA PEL of 1 mg/m³ TWA. Ensure proper chemical segregation from bases, reducing agents, and reactive metals. Install emergency eyewash stations and safety showers in handling areas. Follow all food safety and GMP protocols for handling food-grade acids and maintain proper spill control equipment. Utilize only food-grade compatible materials for transfer and storage including HDPE, 316L stainless steel, or food-grade acid-resistant containers.
