Correct storage precautions of carbon black:

The product should be stored in a cool, dry, ventilated place, away from the sources of fire and heat, and isolated from the oxidant. It should be stored away from volatile matters so that carbon black won’t be absorbed. The acetylene carbon black is non-hazardous chemical, but its surface has hygroscopicity, and three-tier kraft paper bags or plastic woven bags are packaged. The product should be stored in a cool, dry, ventilated warehouse, away from the sources of fire and heat, and isolated from the oxidant. The product should not be moisturized, hooked, pulled, thrown or pressed forcibly. For leakage, the fallen carbon black shall not be mixed into the product.

Protective measures, protective equipment and emergency procedures for workers

It’s non-toxic. In work, people should wear masks and work clothes to prevent inhalation; after work, have a shower and change clothes to keep the body clean. If there is a fire, use water and other fire-fighting equipment to put out the fire.

Notes: Pay attention to anti-skid of the damp carbon black surface. Avoid dust. Avoid inhalation of dust. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Ensure adequate ventilation. Wear suitable personal protective equipment.

Environmental protection measures:

Prohibit the product from contaminating groundwater. The product is insoluble in water, and floats on the water, and people should control the floating objects as far as possible. If there is obvious pollution to the environment, it’s necessary to promptly notify the relevant departments.

Methods for storage and disposal of leaked chemicals and disposal materials used:

Use a vacuum cleaner to clean up in time, it is recommended to use a vacuum cleaner with the high-efficiency air particulate filter. Transfer the spill to a suitable container for safe disposal.

Precautions against secondary hazards:

Avoid dust during the cleaning process and avoid re-leakage.
