in Handling & Storing
EXPLOSION HAZARDS Wash thoroughly after handling.
Keep container tightly closed when not in use.
Read label on container before using. Do not wear contact lenses when working with chemicals.
Dangerous when heated to decomposition, emits highly toxic fumes of Other Precautions
Clean up all spills at once. Boiling or heating to dryness yields corrosive
mercury and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). Increases the flammability of
fumes and mercury fumes or mist. Do not breathe mercury fumes. This
combustible, organic and readily oxidizable materials. material should not be heated without proper precautions to safely handle
