Storage:

  • Storage Conditions:
    • Keep Zinc Chloride in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to avoid moisture absorption.
    • Store in a tightly sealed container to maintain purity and prevent contamination.
    • Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as these conditions may degrade the product.
  • Segregation:
    • Store away from incompatible substances such as strong bases, water, and oxidizing agents.
    • Use a dedicated storage area for chemicals to minimize the risk of cross-contamination.
  • Packaging Integrity:
    • Check the container regularly for signs of leakage or damage. Replace if necessary.
  • Labeling:
    • Ensure the container is clearly labeled to avoid accidental misuse.

Handling:

  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
    • Wear protective gloves (rubber or nitrile) to avoid skin contact.
    • Use safety goggles to protect your eyes.
    • Wear a lab coat or protective clothing to prevent skin exposure.
    • If handling in powdered form, use a dust mask or respirator to prevent inhalation of particles.
  • Work Environment:
    • Always handle in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood to avoid inhaling fumes or dust.
    • Keep the workspace clean and free from clutter.
  • Precautionary Measures:
    • Avoid inhalation, ingestion, or prolonged skin contact.
    • Do not mix Zinc Chloride with incompatible substances such as water, as it may produce heat or fumes.
    • Handle with care to prevent spills. If spills occur, clean them immediately using appropriate absorbent materials.
  • Emergency Preparedness:
    • Ensure easy access to an eye wash station and safety shower in case of accidental exposure.
    • Keep an appropriate spill kit nearby for safe cleanup.

Disposal:

  • Dispose of Zinc Chloride and its containers in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
  • Do not discharge into sewers or waterways.
