Safe Handling and Storage of Trichloroisocyanuric Acid (TCCA) 90%
At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we prioritize the safe and effective use of our products. Trichloroisocyanuric Acid (TCCA) 90% is a powerful and highly effective chemical, but like all potent compounds, it requires careful handling and storage to maximize its benefits and ensure safety. This guide outlines essential precautions for working with TCCA 90%.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): When handling TCCA 90%, it is imperative to wear appropriate PPE. This includes chemical-resistant gloves (such as nitrile or neoprene), safety goggles or a face shield to protect the eyes from dust or splashes, and a respirator or dust mask to avoid inhaling fine particles. Protective clothing, like long sleeves and trousers, should also be worn.
Handling Precautions: Always handle TCCA 90% in a well-ventilated area. Avoid generating dust; if scooping or transferring the granular product, do so gently. Never mix TCCA 90% directly with other chemicals, especially ammonia, acids, or organic materials, as this can lead to dangerous reactions, including the release of toxic gases or even explosions. Use clean, dry scoops and equipment made of compatible materials (e.g., plastic or stainless steel). Never add water to TCCA; always add TCCA to water slowly and with stirring to prevent localized overheating or reactions.
Storage Guidelines: TCCA 90% should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and combustible materials. Keep the original container tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. Store TCCA separately from incompatible substances such as fuels, oils, solvents, acids, bases, and reducing agents. Ensure storage areas are clearly labeled and inaccessible to unauthorized personnel, particularly children.
Fire Safety: As an oxidizing agent, TCCA 90% can intensify fires. In the event of a fire involving TCCA, use water spray or fog to cool containers and fight the fire. Do not use dry chemical extinguishers that contain ammonium compounds. Personnel involved in firefighting should wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective gear.
Spill Management: In case of a spill, contain the material to prevent it from spreading. Avoid creating dust. For small spills, carefully sweep or vacuum the material using non-sparking tools and place it in a clean, dry, properly labeled container for disposal. For larger spills, follow emergency procedures and contact your local hazardous materials response team. Ensure that spilled material does not enter waterways or sewer systems.
By adhering to these safety guidelines, users can confidently and effectively utilize the powerful disinfection capabilities of TCCA 90% from NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. Safety should always be the top priority when working with any chemical product.
