Ferrous Sulphate Dried 150 Mesh is a finely ground, dried form of ferrous sulfate (iron(II) sulfate) with a particle size passing through a 150 mesh sieve. It appears as pale green to light green crystalline granules or powder. This iron salt is widely used as a nutritional supplement, industrial chemical, and water treatment agent due to its high iron content (typically around 32-33% Fe) and enhanced solubility compared to the hydrated forms. The dried form improves stability and shelf life by reducing moisture content, making it suitable for applications in agriculture, pharmaceuticals, food fortification, and environmental treatment processes.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Safety Handling Precautions

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
- Gloves (nitrile or latex)
- Safety goggles or face shield
- Dust mask or respirator when handling powders
- Protective clothing or lab coat
Handling Guidelines:
- Use in well-ventilated areas or with local exhaust ventilation
- Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes
- Minimize dust accumulation and prevent spills
Storage Measures:
- Keep containers tightly closed
- Store away from moisture, acids, and oxidizing agents
- Protect from heat and direct sunlight
Hygiene Practices:
- Wash hands thoroughly after handling
- Avoid eating, drinking, or smoking during handling
- Clean work surfaces regularly

First Aid Measures

Inhalation:
- Move affected person to fresh air
- Seek medical attention if respiratory irritation or distress occurs
Skin Contact:
- Wash thoroughly with soap and water
- Remove contaminated clothing
- Seek medical advice if irritation develops
Eye Contact:
- Rinse eyes immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
- Seek medical attention if irritation persists
Ingestion:
- Rinse mouth with water
- Do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel
- Seek immediate medical attention in case of large ingestion

Firefighting Measures

Fire Hazards:
- Non-flammable but may release sulfur oxides and iron oxides upon decomposition in fire
Extinguishing Media:
- Use water spray, foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide (CO₂)
Special Precautions:
- Firefighters should wear protective gear and self-contained breathing apparatus if exposed to fumes
Decomposition Products:
- Sulfur oxides (SOx), iron oxides, and other potentially toxic gases under fire conditions
