Application Areas

Organic synthesis reagent: As a fluorinating agent, it participates in the fluorination reaction of sulfur oxygen bonds in organic molecules and is commonly used in the synthesis of fluorinated compounds.

Storage conditions

Sealed container: It must be strictly sealed to prevent moisture absorption or reaction with air.
Low temperature and light avoidance: It is recommended to store in a cool, dry, and ventilated environment, avoiding direct sunlight.
Inert gas protection: If necessary, nitrogen or other inert gases can be used to fill the container

Safety precautions

Personal protection
Respiratory protection: The operation should be carried out in a fume hood, wearing a gas mask or self-contained breathing apparatus.
Skin/Eye Protection: Wear chemical resistant gloves, goggles, and protective clothing.
Operating standards
Fire and explosion prevention: Keep away from heat sources, sparks, and oxidants, and store in an anti-static environment.
Leakage treatment: Cover the leaked material with sand or inert adsorbent material to avoid direct contact.
Emergency measures
Inhalation: Immediately transfer to fresh air and seek medical attention if necessary.
Skin contact: Rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and remove contaminated clothing
