Storage & Handling

Recommended Storage
Store in a clean, dry warehouse in the original unopened containers.jostchemical.com
Handling Precautions
Standard chemical PPE — dust mask and goggles for handling of fine grades. Avoid generating airborne dust.Class-level guidance — not product-specific; the SDS controls.
Incompatibilities
Specific incompatibilities depend on the salt — consult the SDS. Many salts react with strong acids to release gases.Class-level guidance — not product-specific; the SDS controls.
Shelf Life
Consult Technical Services for product-specific shelf life

For full hazard, PPE, and emergency response guidance, refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for this product. The SDS controls in all cases where guidance differs.
