Aluminium hydroxide is a versatile technical material used in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, plastics, and ceramics. Its unique properties make it an essential component in the production of flame retardants, antacids, and other high-performance products.
When working with Aluminium hydroxide, it is important to follow certain safety instructions to ensure your well-being and minimize any potential risks. 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 your eyes, skin, and body from potential contact with Aluminium hydroxide. 2. Ventilation: Work in a well-ventilated area or use fume hoods to prevent the inhalation of any dust or fumes that may be generated during handling or processing of Aluminium hydroxide. 3. Storage: Store Aluminium hydroxide in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep it tightly sealed in its original container to prevent any accidental spills or leaks. 4. Handling: Avoid direct contact with Aluminium hydroxide. If handling in powder form, minimize dust generation by using appropriate handling techniques, such as using a scoop or spoon rather than pouring. Clean up any spills immediately and dispose of them properly. 5. Fire precautions: Aluminium hydroxide is not flammable, but it may act as a fire retardant. However, it can release water vapor when heated, so avoid exposing it to high temperatures or open flames. 6. First aid: In case of accidental contact with Aluminium hydroxide, immediately flush the affected area with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. If Aluminium hydroxide is ingested, seek immediate medical help and provide the medical professional with all relevant information. 7. Disposal: Dispose of Aluminium hydroxide waste in accordance with local regulations. Do not dispose of it in regular trash or pour it down the drain without proper treatment. Remember, these are general safety instructions, and it is essential to consult the specific safety data sheet (SDS) and follow the guidelines provided by the manufacturer or your organization for working with Aluminium hydroxide.
