3. Handing & Storage
- Storage should be in rooms of noncombustible or limited combustible construction.
- Aluminum powder should be stored in the original shipping containers and kept tightly sealed.
- Aluminum powder should not be stored in areas containing flammable liquids or other combustible materials, due to the differences in fire fighting methods.
- Store sealed containers of aluminum powder in a dry room at a temperature below the flash point of the solvent.
- Stack containers properly with ample aisle space. Keep stack height to a minimum.
- Aluminum powder must not be stored in the same area as incompatible materials such as oxidizers.
- Safety aspects of bulk storage should be discussed with the powder or paste supplier.
4. Packing
- In net 50kg drums.
- 10MT/20’FCL.
