Aluminium Oxide Active Neutral Extra Pure is a high-purity, fine white powder known for its high surface area and neutral pH, making it ideal for chromatography, adsorption, and catalyst support in laboratory research. Its active form ensures excellent capacity for separating and purifying organic compounds without altering their chemical structure, especially in column chromatography applications. Commonly used in analytical, organic synthesis, and material science laboratories, it provides consistent performance in adsorption studies, drying of solvents, and reaction monitoring. The extra pure grade ensures extremely low levels of impurities, suitable for high-precision experimental work. To maintain its activity, it should be stored in airtight containers away from moisture and reactive chemicals.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
- Wear chemical-resistant gloves (e.g., nitrile), safety goggles, and a lab coat.
- Use a dust mask or respirator if fine particles are present or during extended handling.
Handling:
- Avoid generating or inhaling dust.
- Handle under a fume hood or in a well-ventilated lab.
- Prevent contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
- Use caution when transferring powder to avoid static discharge.
Storage:
- Store in a tightly sealed container in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area.
- Keep away from strong acids and bases.
- Protect from moisture and contamination.
Hygiene Measures:
- Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
- Avoid touching face or mouth during use.
- Do not eat, drink, or smoke in the laboratory.

FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation:
- Move the person to fresh air.
- If symptoms such as coughing or shortness of breath occur, seek medical attention.
- Rinse mouth and nasal passages with water if needed.
Skin Contact:
- Wash affected area with plenty of water and soap.
- Remove any contaminated clothing.
- Seek medical attention if irritation develops.
Eye Contact:
- Rinse eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes.
- Keep eyelids apart and remove contact lenses if present and easy to do.
- Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Ingestion:
- Rinse mouth with water.
- Do not induce vomiting.
- Seek medical attention if large quantities are ingested or if symptoms appear.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable Extinguishing Media:
- Use water spray, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide (CO₂), or foam appropriate to surrounding materials.
