Safety Precautions

CORROSIVE MATERIAL - Professional handling required. Class 8 corrosive solid requiring comprehensive dust control and exposure monitoring. Store in cool, dry areas in tightly sealed containers. Mandatory PPE includes chemical-resistant gloves (neoprene or butyl rubber, minimum 0.4mm thickness), splash-proof chemical goggles, face shield, dust respirator with appropriate filters, and chemical-resistant protective clothing. Work only in properly ventilated areas with local exhaust systems. Maintain exposure levels below OSHA PEL of 2 mg/m³ ceiling limit. Avoid contact with acids, metals, organic materials, and moisture. Install emergency eyewash stations and safety showers in handling areas. Follow all industrial safety protocols for handling strong bases and maintain proper spill control equipment. Utilize only compatible materials for transfer and storage including polyethylene, polypropylene, or nickel alloy containers. NEVER add water to product - always add product to water slowly with constant stirring when preparing solutions.
