which remains suspended in air and penetrates thin paper or textiles. Finely divided powder is
spontaneously combustible.
When offered for shipment in bulk in containers, due consideration must be given to the risks of
container contamination and the attendant cleaning costs. Special stowage instructions apply
including the fitting of an inner liner which sheathes all surfaces within the container. Spillage and
contamination to be avoided. Cleaning possibilities very poor.
