Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear appropriate PPE, including gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat or protective clothing, when handling zinc stearate. This will help prevent direct contact with the substance and protect your skin, eyes, and clothing. 2. Ventilation: Ensure that you work in a well-ventilated area or use local exhaust ventilation to prevent the accumulation of dust or fumes. This will help minimize the inhalation of airborne particles. 3. Storage: Store zinc stearate in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. 4. Handling: Avoid generating dust or aerosols when handling zinc stearate. Use appropriate handling techniques, such as scooping or pouring slowly, to minimize the release of particles into the air. 5. Spills and Cleanup: In case of spills, carefully clean up the material using appropriate methods, such as vacuuming or wet sweeping, to avoid dispersing the dust. Dispose of the spilled material according to local regulations. 6. Fire Safety: Zinc stearate is not flammable, but it may burn in the presence of strong oxidizing agents. Keep it away from open flames, sparks, and heat sources. 7. First Aid: In case of skin contact, wash the affected area with plenty of soap and water.
