Clean-Up Methods: Sweep up, collect material in airtight containers, use vacuum with HEPA filter, avoid dry sweeping in dusty conditions
Waste Disposal: Collect and arrange for proper disposal as per local regulations
Handling: Operate with adequate ventilation to keep dust levels low, avoid ignition sources, ground equipment to prevent static electricity, handle bags carefully to minimize spills
Storage: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area, protect from moisture and direct sunlight, keep away from food and drink, keep tightly sealed in original containers, maintain temperature below 40°C
Other Precautions: Keep out of reach of children, follow good industrial hygiene practices
Occupational Exposure Limits (OEL): Antimony trioxide: 0.5 mg/m³ (ACGIH TLV), no OEL for polymer
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, maintain natural ventilation in storage/processing areas
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Respiratory: Dust filter mask (P2 or N95); Hands: chemical-resistant gloves; Eyes: safety glasses or goggles; Skin: coveralls
