Packaging Storage and Safety

Due to the reactive nature of chlorosilanes towards moisture, specialized packaging is employed to maintain product integrity during storage and transit. Small quantity orders are supplied in fluoride bottles ranging from 100ml to 1000ml to prevent hydrolysis. For large-scale industrial users, we offer standard packaging options including 25L plastic drums, 210L iron drums, and 1000L IBC containers. All containers are sealed to exclude atmospheric humidity. Storage conditions require keeping the product in its original unopened container at temperatures of 25℃ or below. The shelf life is established at one year from the production date. Expired products may only be utilized after passing comprehensive quality testing. Safety classification identifies this material as Dangerous Goods Class 8 (Corrosive). Proper personal protective equipment and ventilation are mandatory during handling to prevent exposure to corrosive vapors or liquid contact.
