Handling Instructions

Highly flammable solid. Dust explosion hazard. Fine Ti metal powder ignites reliably and burns away at high temperature within a short time. Ti metal powder is resistant to most chemical reagents but is attacked at elevated temperatures by acids and by oxidizing agents. Dilute aqueous HF attacks titanium vigorously. Keep away from flames, sparks and heat sources. Use ground connected metallic apparatus to prevent electrostatic charges causing self ignition. Vacuum drying of suspensions is not recommended. Wear gloves and protective goggles. In case of fire cover with dry sand or dry chemical/dolomite (powdered limestone). Never extinguish with water, carbon dioxide, or halocarbon. See our safety data sheet and special precautionary advice for more information on safety.
