Storage & Handling

Storage and Handling Conditions
  • 12BG is hygroscopic and susceptible to oxidation. Always use nitrogen dry gas seals to seal storage containers. Store at temperatures not exceeding 40℃.
  • 12BG has low volatility and will not self-ignite at room temperature. In the event of fire, effective fire extinguishing agents are powder agents, (alcohol resistant) foam agents, and/or large amounts of water sprayed as mist.
  • 12BG has extremely low toxicity and is a highly safe chemical. When handling, however, wear personal protective equipment such as goggles and protective gloves.
