Brand: Kemaus (Product Code: KA-021)
Grade: Analytical Reagent (AR Grade) with premium purity of 98 percent or higher. Rigorously manufactured under Kemaus standards to maintain exceptionally low trace contamination of heavy metals (especially iron) and chloride ions for chemical certainty.
Physical Properties: Odorless, colorless crystals or white crystalline powder with an astringent taste.
Solubility: Soluble in water (solubility increases with temperature); insoluble in alcohol. Yields an acidic aqueous solution.
Key Use: Widely utilized as a coagulant reagent in water treatment research and particle precipitation testing. Functions as a fixative or mordant in histological staining processes within biological studies. Also applied as a general analytical reagent in chemical assays.

Safety & Hazards

Classification: Not classified as a severe hazardous substance under GHS regulations, but acts as a skin and eye irritant.
Health Risks: Causes serious eye irritation. Direct or prolonged skin contact may cause mild irritation or redness. Dust inhalation may lead to respiratory tract discomfort.
First Aid Measures: Flush eyes immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Wash affected skin with soap and water. Seek medical advice if irritation develops or persists.

Handling & Storage

Storage: Store in the original, tightly sealed Kemaus container. Keep in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated space at room temperature (below 30 degrees Celsius). Avoid hot or overly dry environments to prevent efflorescence (loss of water of crystallization).
Precautions: Wear standard personal protective equipment (PPE), including laboratory gloves, safety glasses, and a particulate dust mask. Avoid generating or inhaling dust during handling.
