Metalorganics have been handled safely on a commercial scale for many years despite the hazards associated with their reactivity. These hazards are manageable given knowledge of proper handling techniques, carefully designed facilities and thorough training of personnel using written procedures.
Personnel who understand the properties of metalorganics and who give proper attention to these compounds will be able to handle them safely and with confidence.
Akzo Nobel provides extensive technical support in the area of product safety and handling. Available resources include safety videos, literature and audits, personal protective equipment (PPE) guidelines, and other assistance as part of the Akzo Nobel Safety Outreach program.
Please contact your the sales representative in your region to discuss how Akzo Nobel HPMO can address your safety concerns or provide safety audits and safety training.
