•Storage and Handling:Store in a secure, cool, and well-ventilated area, away from children, pets, and incompatible substances.Ensure the container is sealed tightly to prevent fumes from escaping.
•Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):Wear rubber gloves, safety goggles, and acid-resistant clothing to prevent skin or eye contact.Use a mask or respirator in poorly ventilated areas to avoid inhaling fumes.
•Ventilation:Use muriatic acid in well-ventilated areas or outdoors to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.
•Safe Usage Practices:Always dilute muriatic acid by adding it to water, not the other way around, to prevent splattering or a violent reaction.Avoid mixing with bleach, ammonia, or other cleaning products as it may release dangerous chlorine or chloramine gases.
•Emergency Measures:Skin or Eye Contact:Rinse immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention.Inhalation:Move to fresh air and seek medical help if symptoms persist.Spill Management:Neutralize spills with baking soda or a similar neutralizer before cleaning up.
