Handling
Closed operation, enhanced ventilation. Operators must be specially trained and strictly abide by the operating rules. It is recommended that operators wear catheter-type gas masks, belt-type adhesive protective clothing, and rubber oil-resistant gloves. Keep away from fires and heat sources. Smoking is strictly prohibited in the workplace. Use explosion-proof ventilation systems and equipment. Prevent vapor from leaking into workplace. Avoid contact with oxidants. Carry out operation in nitrogen. Handle with care to prevent damage to packing and container. Equipped with the appropriate variety and quantity of fire-fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment. Empty containers may retain harmful substances.
Storage
Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat. The storage temperature should not exceed 30℃. Packing must be sealed and not in contact with air. Should be stored separately with oxidant, peroxide, edible chemical, avoid mixing storage. Explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities are adopted. Use of spark-generated mechanical equipment and tools is prohibited. The storage area shall be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment and appropriate containment materials.
