04 · Handling and storage

Storing and handling Fentin hydroxide (ISO)

Storage conditions

Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing. /Store/ separated from food & feedstuffs.

Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)

Incompatible materials

Surfactants, spreaders, or stickers should not be added because phytotoxicity may result. Do not use with oil sprays.

Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)

Reactivity

TRIPHENYLTIN HYDROXIDE is sensitive to temperatures above 113 °F and prolonged exposure to light. Incompatible with strongly acidic compounds. Also incompatible with oils used in oil spray formulations (NTP, 1992).
