Precautions for Safe Handling and Use:
Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled:
Shovel or sweep up and place in waste disposal container. Flush area with water. Major
spills (i.e. derailments) may be loaded into trucks with front-end loader. Uncontaminated
material may be recycled. If exposed to humid air, material will dissolve. The brine should
be flushed with water to drainage.

Respiratory: For dusty conditions, particulate filtering disposable mask is adequate.

Storage and Handling Precautions:
When removing Dead Sea Magnesium Chloride from its packing, the product at first
appears dry. Due to its hygroscopic nature, it readily takes on atmospheric moisture and
softens rapidly. The bagged material should be kept closed in a dry atmosphere. When
stored under suitable conditions, Dead Sea Magnesium Chloride will keep for an almost
unlimited period.
