H. Storage conditions:
It should be stored in a cool, dry and lucifugal warehouse and kept far away from fire and heat source. The warehouse temperature should not exceed 40 ℃. Keep the packaging is sealed. It should be stored separately with oxidants, strong bases, edible chemicals, etc. Avoid mixed storage by all means. Explosion-proof lighting facilities should be adopted.
I. Toxicity and Protection:
It is corrosive to skin, eyes and mucosa and can cause hyperaemia, pain, burning sensation and blurred vision. Inhalation of lots of its vapor can cause cough, shortness of breath, difficult breaching, or even pulmonary edema. Oral intake will be poisoned. Long-time contact with the skin can make the skin discolor. In case of heat, it will decompose and release highly toxic phenol smoke. Environmental hazards: This substance is harmful to the environment, so particular attention should be paid to water pollution. Explosion hazard: Open fire and high heat can cause combustion. Please operate in a closed environment and strengthen ventilation. Operators must go through specialized training and abide by operation specifications strictly. Operators are suggested wearing gas masks, chemical protective glasses, impermeable overalls and rubber oil-proof gloves. Keep it away from fire. No smoking in the workplace. Explosion-proof ventilation systems and equipment should be used. Attentions should be paid to preventing its vapor from leaking into the air in the workplace. Production and packaging places should be equipped with appropriate types and quantities of fire-fighting equipment as well as leakage response equipment.
