- Hazard / Transport:
- Flammable or self-heating flotation reagent that may be harmful if swallowed or inhaled and can cause serious eye or skin effects. Contact with acids, heat or moisture can accelerate decomposition and release toxic, highly flammable carbon disulfide. Commercial xanthates are commonly evaluated for UN 3342, Class 4.2 transport; confirm the exact grade-specific SDS, packing group and destination rules before shipment.
- Storage:
- Store in tightly closed, moisture-resistant original packaging in a cool, dry, shaded and well-ventilated dangerous-goods area. Keep away from acids, oxidizers, water, heat, sparks, flames and direct sunlight; control inventory age because xanthates decompose during prolonged or warm storage.
