Safety Information

  • Wear appropriate PPE including gloves and protective eyewear when handling large quantities.
  • Avoid inhalation of dust and prolonged contact with eyes.
  • Use in well-ventilated areas to prevent ammonia vapour accumulation during decomposition.
  • Store in tightly sealed containers away from heat, moisture, and acidic substances.
  • Do not mix with acids, as ammonia gas may be released.
  • In case of eye contact, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
  • In case of skin contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
  • If inhaled, move to fresh air and seek medical attention if symptoms occur.
  • Clean spills carefully to avoid dust dispersion.
  • Always consult the latest Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before handling, storage, or transport.
