Safety Precautions

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Use containers made of HDPE or glass to minimize reactive interactions with metals. Ensure proper ventilation during handling and wear appropriate PPE, including chemical resistant gloves and splash goggles, to protect eyes and skin from contact. Maintain segregation from organic materials and reducing agents to prevent hazardous reactions and potential ignition hazards.

Follow the Safety Data Sheet for detailed hazard identification and emergency procedures. The product is a strong oxidizer, with hazard statements including risk of fire or explosion and severe skin/eye damage. In case of exposure, rinse affected areas with copious water, seek medical attention for skin or eye contact, and follow first-aid measures outlined in the SDS. In the event of inhalation or ingestion, seek immediate medical advice and provide product information to responders.
