Safety Warning
Corrosive alkaline liquid. Vapor severely irritates eyes, skin and respiratory tract; skin contact causes chemical burns. All operations must be performed in ventilated fume hood with alkali-resistant gloves, full-face goggles and respirator. Avoid contact with acids, halogens and oxidants to prevent violent exothermic reaction. Waste liquid belongs to corrosive nitrogen-containing organic hazardous waste and requires professional neutralization disposal. Must be sealed tightly to avoid absorbing CO? and moisture from air leading to performance decline.
