Safety & Health
- Health and Safety Data
-
- BRUGGOLITE®FF6 M is not classified as hazardous according to the valid CLP-Regulation. However, this does not exclude that the product is hazardous in its application of a hazardous material within the meaning of the Ordinance on Hazardous Substances. Therefore, a risk assessment has to be carried out prior to commencing activities. In any case, the general rules for handling chemicals must be observed.
- The aforementioned remarks are deducted from the European legal system. Deviating or additional regulations in other legal systems must be observed accordingly when using the product.
Storage & Handling
- Storage and Stability
-
- MultiTech MultiFunctional N has a significantly increased reactivity compared to other reducing agents resulting in a higher sensitivity to ambient moisture.
- In unopened packaging Brüggemann guarantees a shelf life of at least 24 months if stored properly (25°C / dry).
- MultiTech MultiFunctional N must not be stored together with oxidizing substances or acids.
- Opened packaging, especially laboratory samples, should be closed tightly after use and stored under cool and dry conditions.
