Safety & Hazards

  • Classification: Not classified as a severe hazardous substance according to GHS regulations. Acts as a mild physical and mechanical eye and skin irritant.
  • Health Risks: Direct eye contact with dust causes temporary mechanical irritation, watering, or redness. Prolonged skin contact may cause mild localized discomfort. Inhalation of fine dust may lead to minor coughing or sneezing.
  • First Aid Measures: Flush eyes or skin immediately with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical advice if irritation develops or persists.

Handling & Storage

  • Storage: Highly Hygroscopic and Deliquescent (readily absorbs moisture from the ambient air and liquefies). Must be stored in the original, tightly sealed Kemaus container. Keep in a cool, strictly dry, and well-ventilated space at stable room temperature (below 30 degrees Celsius).
  • Precautions: Wear standard personal protective equipment (PPE), including laboratory gloves, safety glasses, and a particulate dust mask. Ensure the container cap is secured tightly immediately after each use to protect the crystalline integrity of the reagent.
