• pH: 3.0 – 5.0 (Acidic).
• Solubility: Complete in water.
• Stability: Stable under normal conditions.

• Respiratory Protection: If ventilation is insufficient, wear a half-face respirator with organic vapor cartridges (with particulate pre-filter).
• Hand Protection: Wear Nitrile rubber gloves (Neoprene or Butyl rubber are also acceptable). Do not use latex or vinyl, as they offer poor resistance.
• Eye Protection: Chemical splash goggles (face shield recommended during pouring).
• Skin/Body: Chemical-resistant apron or full suit, plus closed-toe shoes with neoprene boot covers.
