HANDLING, STORAGE, AND INCOMPATIBILITY
Like any strong oxidant, LIQUOX® sodium permanganate should obe handled with care. Protective equipment during handling should
include face shields and/or goggles, rubber or plastic gloves, rubber or plastic apron. If clothing becomes spotted, wash off immediately; spontaneous ignition can occur with cloth or paper. In cases where significant exposure exists, use of the appropriate NIOSH-MSHA dust or mist respirator or an air supplied respirator is advised.

The product should be stored in a dry area in closed containers. Product should be stored above 50°F. Concrete floors are preferred. Avoid wooden decks. Spillage should be collected and disposed of properly. Contain and dilute spillage to approximately 6% with water and reduce with sodium thiosulfate, a bisulfite, or ferrous salt. The bisulfite or ferrous salt may require dilute sulfuric acid to promote reduction. Neutralize any acid used with sodium bicarbonate. Deposit sludge in an approved landfill or, where permitted, drain into sewer with large quantities of water.

As an oxidant, the product itself is non-combustible, but will accelerate the burning of combustible materials. Therefore, contact with all combustible materials and/or chemicals must be avoided. These include, but are not limited to: wood, cloth, organic chemicals, and charcoal. Avoid contact with acids, peroxides, sulfites, oxalates, and all other oxidizable inorganic chemicals. With hydrochloric acid, chlorine is liberated.
