Summaries only, follow the supplier SDS for your grade

Safe handling

Fire: NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Do NOT expose to friction or shock. Closed system, dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent deposition of dust.

General: STRICT HYGIENE! IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR!

Inhalation: Use closed system or ventilation.

Skin: Protective gloves.

Eyes: Wear safety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection if powder.

Ingestion: Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.

Storage

Substance should be kept wet. Fireproof. Well closed. Separated from combustible substances and strong oxidizers. Store in an area without drain or sewer access.

Disposal

The use of ultraviolet-ozone and ultraviolet-oxidant to treat pink water from ammunition plants was evaluated. Dissolved RDX was removed to <1 mg/L with no by products requiring disposal. The feasibility of treating explosive contaminated wastewater using an oxidant (hydrogen peroxide) in conjunction with short wavelength UV light was evaluated. The process achieves high degree of decontamination without troublesome byproducts.
