Safety & Hazards (Critical)

Classification: Oxidizing Solid (Category 3). Causes serious eye damage.
Health Risks: Direct eye contact causes severe irritation and potential tissue damage. May cause skin and respiratory tract irritation upon exposure to dust.
Chemical Warning: As an oxidizer, it may intensify fire. Keep strictly away from combustible materials, reducing agents, organic chemicals, and open flames.
First Aid Measures: Flush eyes immediately with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention. Wash affected skin with soap and water.

Handling & Storage

Storage: Highly Hygroscopic and Deliquescent (readily absorbs moisture from the air and turns into liquid). Must be stored in the original, tightly sealed Kemaus container. Keep in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated space at stable room temperature (below 30 degrees Celsius).
Precautions: Standard PPE is mandatory, including laboratory gloves, safety glasses, and a particulate dust mask. Avoid generating airborne dust during handling and ensure the container is tightly closed immediately after use.
