Product Overview & Quality

Product Name: Sand acid washed (Sea sand acid washed)
Brand: Kemaus (Product Code: KA-1199)
Grade: Laboratory Grade (Lab Grade). Processed from natural sea sand that has been thoroughly boiled and washed with concentrated acid under strict Kemaus manufacturing guidelines. This treatment completely eliminates organic impurities, soluble salts, and iron/carbonate minerals, followed by neutralization with pure water and intensive drying. The resulting sand is highly pure and chemically inert.
Physical Properties: Odorless, fine greyish-white, cream, or light brown granules. Completely insoluble in water and common acids.
Key Use: Commonly utilized as a robust filtering bed support in laboratory filtration assemblies to trap fine precipitates. Heavily used as a mechanical grinding agent in mortars and pestles to facilitate the homogenization of tough plant tissues, animal samples, or solid chemicals. Also serves as an ideal heat-distribution medium in laboratory sand baths.

Safety & Hazards

Classification: Non-hazardous substance according to GHS regulations. Chemically inert material with zero toxin traits.
Physical Risks: Acts as a mechanical and physical eye and respiratory irritant due to dust. Direct eye contact with sand dust may cause physical irritation, tearing, or minor corneal scratching.
First Aid Measures: Flush eyes immediately with plenty of flowing water and avoid rubbing. Seek medical evaluation if discomfort persists.

Handling & Storage

Storage: Store in the original, tightly closed Kemaus container. Keep in a dry, room-temperature location. No special chemical incompatibility restrictions apply, but protect from ambient dust or environmental pollution to preserve its purity.
Precautions: Wear standard personal protective equipment (PPE), including laboratory safety glasses and a dust mask. Prevent generating airborne dust clouds during handling.
