- Building Waterproofing Agents: Provides effective moisture barriers for construction materials.
- Fumed Whitening Agents and Carbon Black: Used in processing aids for rubber and pigment industries.
- Silicone Resins: Acts as a key monomer for high-performance polymer networks.
Storage and Safety Handling
Safety is our top priority when handling reactive chlorosilanes. This product is classified as a Dangerous Good Class 3 substance and must be managed with extreme care. It is packaged in 200L iron drums with a net weight of 200kg per drum to ensure secure transportation.
Storage facilities must be cool, ventilated, and dry, strictly kept away from fire and heat sources. Direct sunlight should be avoided, and containers must remain sealed when not in use. All lighting and ventilation systems within the storage area are required to be explosion-proof, with switches located outdoors to mitigate ignition risks. Adequate fire-fighting equipment corresponding to the chemical nature of the product must be available on-site.
During handling, operations should be conducted under a nitrogen atmosphere to prevent moisture ingress and hazardous reactions. Transportation must follow prescribed routes without unauthorized diversion or stops. Light loading and unloading practices are enforced to prevent damage to packaging and containers, ensuring integrity throughout the logistics chain.
