Safety Information
- Hazard Category: Irritant (GHS hazard symbol: GHS07; hazard code: R36/37/38)
- Hazards: It is irritating to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Direct skin contact may cause redness, itching, dryness and mild allergic reactions; eye contact may lead to conjunctival hyperemia, burning sensation and corneal irritation; inhalation of dust may cause respiratory tract irritation, cough, chest tightness and other discomfort symptoms. There is no obvious acute toxicity, but long-term or large-scale contact may have potential impacts on the respiratory system and skin; accidental ingestion may cause gastrointestinal discomfort such as nausea and vomiting.
- Operation Precautions: All operations shall be carried out in a well-ventilated fume hood and under dark conditions (avoiding light); wear nitrile gloves, protective clothing, safety goggles and dust mask to avoid direct contact, inhalation of dust and accidental ingestion. It is recommended to operate under the protection of inert gas to prevent degradation caused by contact with air and moisture. Do not eat, drink or smoke during operation; clean the face and hands thoroughly after operation. The operation area shall be equipped with emergency rescue equipment and first aid drugs.
- Storage & Transportation Requirements: It shall be stored in a sealed double aluminum vacuum packaging with desiccant inside, and the outer packaging shall be reinforced with HDPE barrel or cardboard barrel; the storage temperature shall be controlled at 2–8 ℃ (refrigeration), protected from light, moisture and high temperature. Transportation shall adopt full cold chain (2–8 ℃), avoid violent vibration, sun exposure and moisture; it shall be transported in accordance with the regulations of general hazardous chemicals, and shall not be mixed with food, feed, strong oxidants, strong bases and heavy metal compounds.
- Waste Disposal: Waste residues and contaminated packaging shall be disposed of in strict accordance with the management regulations of hazardous chemicals, and shall not be directly discharged into water bodies, soil or sewers to avoid environmental pollution; the waste shall be collected and treated by professional hazardous waste disposal institutions in accordance with relevant regulations.
- First Aid Measures: In case of skin contact, immediately take off contaminated clothes, rinse thoroughly with plenty of soapy water and clean water for at least 15 minutes, and seek medical advice if there is discomfort; in case of eye contact, rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical advice in time; in case of accidental ingestion, do not induce vomiting, keep the patient in a supine position, and seek medical treatment immediately with the product label; in case of inhalation discomfort, move to a well-ventilated place and seek medical advice if symptoms persist.
