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).
