Storage & Safety Information
Storage
Store Selenium Sulphide in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use and protect the product from moisture, contamination, and unnecessary exposure. Avoid generating dust during storage and handling.
Follow the storage conditions specified in the applicable Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the exact grade supplied.
Safety Information
Selenium Sulphide requires careful handling because selenium compounds can be hazardous if swallowed or inhaled. Selenium disulfide is reported to be toxic by ingestion and inhalation and may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.
Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including protective gloves, safety goggles, suitable protective clothing, and appropriate respiratory protection where dust exposure may occur. Avoid inhalation of powder and contact with skin and eyes.
Always refer to the latest Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the exact grade before handling, transporting, or using the product.
