Aluminum sulfate, while highly beneficial in various industrial applications, requires careful handling to ensure the safety of individuals and the environment. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. emphasizes the importance of adhering to safety protocols when working with this chemical. Understanding its properties and potential hazards is the first step toward responsible use.

Aluminum sulfate is generally classified as an irritant. In its powder or granular form, it can cause irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Inhalation of dust can lead to coughing and respiratory discomfort. Direct contact with skin may cause redness, itching, or mild burns, especially with prolonged exposure. Eye contact can result in significant irritation and potential corneal damage.

To mitigate these risks, appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is essential. When handling aluminum sulfate, it is recommended to wear safety goggles or a face shield to protect the eyes, chemical-resistant gloves to prevent skin contact, and a dust mask or respirator if working in an area with airborne particles. Working in a well-ventilated area is also crucial to minimize inhalation exposure.

In case of accidental exposure, immediate first aid measures should be taken. If aluminum sulfate gets on the skin, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water. For eye contact, flush the eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention if irritation persists. If inhaled, move to fresh air. Accidental ingestion requires immediate medical attention; do not induce vomiting unless directed by a healthcare professional.

Proper storage is another key aspect of safe handling. Aluminum sulfate should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in tightly sealed containers, away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents. Its hygroscopic nature means it can absorb moisture from the air, potentially leading to caking and making spills hazardous due to slipperiness.
