Storage & Handling
Store Potassium Dichromate in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from combustible materials, reducing agents, organic materials, and other incompatible substances. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use and protect the product from contamination.
Potassium Dichromate is a strong oxidizing material, so appropriate segregation and storage controls must be maintained. Follow the storage conditions specified in the applicable Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
Safety Information
Potassium Dichromate is a highly hazardous Chromium(VI) compound and requires strict handling controls. Chromium(VI) compounds are associated with serious health hazards, and Potassium Dichromate is a strong oxidizing agent that can severely irritate the eyes and respiratory tract.
Use appropriate chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing, eye/face protection, suitable respiratory protection where dust exposure may occur, and effective ventilation. Avoid inhalation, ingestion, and contact with skin or eyes. Keep away from combustible and organic materials.
Prevent release into the environment and handle the product in accordance with applicable workplace safety regulations. Always refer to the latest Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and applicable local regulations before handling, storing, transporting, or using the product.
