Velsicol CHLORENDIC ANHYDRIDE

Falling product can generate a static charge. Protect against the hazards associated with potential static discharge by using an inert atmosphere.

250 lb drums: Remove seal and wire-tie on drum rim. Pull locking lever down and pull handle out to release ring. Remove ring and lid from the drum. The Chlorendic Anhydride is sealed in an inner bag. Remove the wire tie to open the bag. Scoop or shovel product out of the drum. If entire contents are not to be used from the drum, reseal the inner bag tightly and replace top on drum to prevent the absorption of water.

500kg and 2000lb Bags: Support bag with the lifting straps. Pull inner liner through top nozzle and attach to secure structure to minimize the likelihood of the inner liner slipping out of the outer bag with the product. Untie the string on the bottom of the bag and pull the bottom nozzle out. With the nozzle properly positioned, untie second string to release product.

25kg Bags :The 25kg bag is simply a Kraft style bag with an inner liner. Tear or cut a hole in the outer bag an inner liner, and pour out product.

Personal Protective Equipment - All personnel involved in the manufacture, transfer, loading and unloading of Chlorendic Anhydride are required to wear specific protective clothing and safety equipment. Standard gear consists of hard hat, goggles, gloves, safety shoes/boots, and long sleeve coveralls. In areas where the dry product can produce a dusty environment, a full-face piece cartridge respirator is required. When dusty atmosphere exceeds 1 mg/m3 a full-face piece air supplied respirator is recommended. It is recommended that the employees remove all safety gear and shower at the end of the workday. Chlorendic Anhydride reacts with water and/or sunlight to form Chlorendic Acid. The National Toxicology Program (NTP) has concluded that Chlorendic acid showed clear evidence of carcinogenicity (cancer) in animals. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has given Chlorendic Acid an overall evaluation of 2B (possibly carcinogenic).Chlorendic Anhydride may be harmful if swallowed, irritating to eyes, skin and respiratory tract and may cause allergic skin reaction. No exposure limits have been set for Chlorendic Anhydride.

While Chlorendic Anhydride is not flammable, the occluded solvent trapped within the crystal may ignite. Protect against static buildup and/or use in an inert atmosphere. Chlorendic Anhydride degrades to Chlorendic Acid in the presence of water and/or sunlight. Store in cool, ventilated area away from sources of ignition. Keep away from direct sunlight or strong incandescent light. Keep drums and bags closed to prevent the absorption of water. Recommended material of construction for equipment that contacts Chlorendic Anhydride is 316 stainless steel.
