Safety Information
This chemical does not meet GHS hazard criteria for 100% (2 of 2) of all reports. Pictograms displayed are for < 0.1% (0 of 2) of reports that indicate hazard statements.
Handling and Storage
-
Handling: Avoid generating dust. Use PPE when handling large quantities
-
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in a tightly sealed container. Protect from humidity
Environmental Considerations
Not environmentally hazardous, but large-scale spills into water systems can contribute to biological oxygen demand (BOD) and stimulate microbial growth. Avoid unnecessary release.
