Safety & Hazards

Classification: Not classified as a hazardous substance according to GHS regulations. Acts as a mild physical and mechanical dust irritant.
Health Risks: Direct eye contact with dust may cause minor, temporary irritation or short-term redness. Inhalation of fine dust may cause minor coughing, sneezing, or nasal tract discomfort.
First Aid Measures: Flush eyes immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Wash affected skin with water. Seek medical attention 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 stable room temperature (below 30 degrees Celsius). Avoid exposure to high temperatures, as the material can thermally decompose to release carbon dioxide gas.
Precautions: Wear standard personal protective equipment (PPE), including laboratory gloves, safety glasses, and a particulate dust mask. Ensure the container is capped tightly immediately after each use.
