Safe Handling

Storage
Caution:
A fine dust of this material is capable of forming an explosive mixture with air.
Powder samples should not be exposed to temperatures above 135° to 145°C. Samples may decompose and lead to a possible dust explosion.
As in storage of any dusts or fine powders, good housekeeping is required to prevent dusts in air from reaching possibly explosive levels. When handling in large quantities or in bulk, the general precautions outlined in NFPA 63, "Prevention of Dust Explosions in Industrial Plants," and in NFPA bulletins 68, 69, and 654 are recommended.
As with any organic chemical material, Joincel should not be stored next to peroxides or other oxidizing agents.

Accidental Spills and Housekeeping
Solutions of Joincel are slippery. To prevent employee falls and injury, floor spills of dry powder should be thoroughly vacuumed or swept up. Any slight residual product on the walls or floor can then be flushed with water into a sewer. If the spill is a viscous solution, it should be further diluted with cold water before disposal. Likewise, accumulation of dust should be avoided to control this hazard.
