Handling

Under an inert gas (e.g., argon, nitrogen); avoid dust formation and prevent buildup of static electricity.
Keep material away from ignition sources, and do not smoke.
Due to their hygroscopic character, alkoxide powders tend to react with atmospheric moisture. For this the products are protected against moisture by inner packaging in PE bags.
Once the package (or inner package) has been opened, the entire contents should be used immediately if possible.
Alkoxide powders belong to dust explosion class ST1 (VDI 2263). For handling of alkoxide powders, it has proved advantageous to use siphoning devices that withdraw the product from the packaging by means of a lance. Ystral is a company that manufactures proven and tested machines for dust-free suction, wetting, and dispersion of powders in liquids.

Open and handle containers with care.
Provide good ventilation or extraction.
Keep material away from ignition sources, and do not smoke.
Prevent buildup of static electricity.
Protect from moisture.
Blanket with an inert gas (e.g., nitrogen).
Use up contents of opened packages immediately.
The products should not be allowed to crystallize. Crystals can be redissolved by warming while stirring (keeping the flash point in mind), but this process could take some time.
