Aluminium carbide 98% 250 g

Aluminium carbide is a chemical compound with the formula Al4C3, which is a grey powder that is highly reactive and used in various industrial applications. It is a key component in the production of aluminium alloys and is also used as a catalyst in chemical reactions. Aluminium carbide is known for its high thermal conductivity and hardness, making it a popular choice in the manufacturing of cutting tools and abrasives. Its unique properties make it an essential material in the field of metallurgy and chemical engineering.
When working with aluminium carbide, it is important to follow safety instructions to prevent any potential hazards. Here are some short safety instructions to consider: 1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear appropriate PPE, including safety goggles, gloves, and a lab coat or protective clothing, to protect yourself from potential contact with aluminium carbide. 2. Ventilation: Ensure that you work in a well-ventilated area or use local exhaust ventilation to prevent the accumulation of hazardous fumes or dust particles. 3. Handling: Handle aluminium carbide with care, avoiding any unnecessary contact. Use tools or equipment designed for handling hazardous substances to minimize the risk of exposure. 4. Storage: Store aluminium carbide in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials such as water, acids, or oxidizers. Follow proper labeling and storage guidelines to prevent accidents. 5. Fire precautions: Aluminium carbide can react with water or moisture, releasing flammable gases. Keep away from open flames, sparks, or any potential ignition sources. In case of a fire, use appropriate extinguishing agents, such as dry powder or carbon dioxide. 6. Spills and leaks: In the event of a spill or leak, contain the material and prevent it from spreading. Avoid direct contact and use appropriate absorbent materials to clean up the spill. Dispose of the waste according to local regulations. 7. First aid: In case of accidental exposure or ingestion, seek medical attention immediately. Rinse affected areas with plenty of water and remove contaminated clothing. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed by medical professionals. 8. Training: Ensure that all personnel working with aluminium carbide are properly trained on its handling, storage, and emergency procedures. Regularly review and update safety protocols to maintain a safe working environment. Remember, these are general safety instructions, and it is essential to consult the specific safety data sheet (SDS) and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for the particular aluminium carbide product you are working with.
