For any chemical compound used in industrial processes, understanding its specifications and proper handling is crucial for both efficacy and safety. Sodium 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT Na), CAS 2492-26-4, is no exception. As a leading supplier of this vital chemical auxiliary, we emphasize the importance of adhering to stringent quality standards and safe handling protocols.

The specifications for MBT Na typically include its appearance, content (active ingredient percentage), density, and pH. For instance, a common specification is a pale yellow transparent liquid appearance, with a minimum active content of 50.0% and a density of around 1.20 g/cm³ at 20°C. These parameters ensure that the product is within the acceptable range for its intended applications, such as copper corrosion inhibition in water treatment or as an additive in electroplating. When you purchase MBT Na from us, you can be assured that these specifications are met through our rigorous quality control measures.

Proper storage is also a key consideration. MBT Na is typically recommended to be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Commonly, it is packed in 200L plastic drums or IBCs, with options for customized packaging to meet specific client needs. Following recommended storage conditions, often for up to six months, helps maintain product stability and efficacy.

Safety during handling is paramount. While MBT Na is widely used, it's essential to consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provided by the supplier. General precautions include wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing to avoid skin and eye contact. Adequate ventilation should be ensured in work areas. For chemical procurement managers and R&D scientists, understanding these handling guidelines ensures safe integration into their processes.
