Calcium Chloride Fused (95%) 500gm

Safety precautions

1. Avoid sProtective gear: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety goggles, gloves, and a lab coat or protective clothing, when handling calcium chloride. This helps prevent skin and eye contact.
2. Ventilation: Work in a well-ventilated area or use fume hoods when working with calcium chloride to minimize inhalation of dust or vapors.
3. kin contact: Avoid direct skin contact with calcium chloride, as it can cause irritation, redness, and dermatitis. In case of skin contact, promptly wash the affected area with plenty of water and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
4. Avoid eye contact: Prevent contact with the eyes, as calcium chloride can cause severe irritation, redness, and eye damage. In case of eye contact, immediately flush the eyes with water for at least 15 minutes while holding the eyelids open, and seek medical attention promptly.
5. Inhalation precautions: Minimize inhalation of calcium chloride dust or vapors by working in a well-ventilated area or using appropriate respiratory protection if necessary.
6. Handling and storage: Handle calcium chloride with care to prevent spills. Store it in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as acids and organic compounds.
7. Fire and explosion hazards: While calcium chloride itself is not flammable, it can release hydrogen gas when in contact with water or acids, which can pose a fire or explosion hazard in confined spaces. Keep it away from sources of ignition and store it separately from reactive substances.
8. Emergency procedures: Familiarize yourself with emergency procedures in case of spills, leaks, or exposure incidents. Have appropriate spill control measures, such as absorbent materials and neutralizing agents, readily available.
9. Handling solutions: When preparing calcium chloride solutions, always add the compound to water slowly while stirring to minimize heat generation and splashing. Never add water to calcium chloride, as it can lead to violent reactions and splattering.
