Safety & Handling

Due to its acidic nature and crystalline form, professional handling is recommended:

• Protective Gear: Wear safety goggles and gloves to prevent eye and skin irritation.
  
  
• Inhalation Prevention: Avoid breathing dust; use a standard dust mask (N95) during bulk discharge or hopper loading.
  
  
• Hygiene: Maintain strict hygiene and wash hands thoroughly after contact to avoid irritation.
  
  
• Spill Management: Clean up spills using dry methods; if diluted with water, ensure the solution is neutralized before disposal.
  
  
• Ventilation: Ensure the workspace is well-ventilated to prevent the accumulation of airborne fine particles.
