The product is a highly reactive compound and therefore needs to be handled
with particular care.
The safety data sheet should be heeded. It contains information on labeling,
transport and storage as well as handling, product safety and ecological
effects. Please refer also to information sheet M004 entitled, Reizende Stoffe,
atzende stoffe (Irritant substances, corrosive substances) issued by the
German Berufsgenossenschaft Chemie.
The product reacts spontaneously and very vigorously with water, alcohols,
amines, acids and alkalis. Such substances must therefore not be poured
into vessels already containing the product. The reaction with water yields
carbon dioxide at quantities of 1.3 liters per gram of water. The sudden
formation of large amounts of gas in a container into which water has
penetrated, may cause the container to explode, even if the seal has already
been broken.
Care must therefor be taken during transport, storage and handling of
HARTTIVE MSI(PTSI) to prevent the penetration of moisture into the containers.
Once added to the paint as a drying agent, existing guideline on the
application of paint containing solvents must be applied. Additional
precaution are unnecessarily provided that the addition rate is proportional
to the water content does not exceed about 5% of the total formulation. |
