Packing

Calcium Acetate is supplied in woven lined paper bags.

Storage and handling

Calcium Acetate should be stored and handled in its original packing or in suitable sealed containers and kept in a clean dry place.

Under normal conditions of use, Calcium Acetate does not present any undue health hazard.

Precautions should be taken to prevent entry in the eyes and prolonged or repeated skin contact with the solid or its solutions. Exposure to the dust at high concentrations should be prevented by provision of suitable ventilation.

First aid

Eye contact: In the event of eye contact occurring, immediately irrigate with copious quantities of clean water, holding the eye open if necessary. Obtain medical attention.
