Cesium fluoride powder 99.999% 25 g

Cesium fluoride powder is a highly specialized compound used in various industries for its unique properties. With its exceptional optical transparency and high refractive index, it is commonly employed in optical coatings, lenses, and prisms. Additionally, its low melting point and excellent thermal stability make it an ideal material for high-temperature applications. Cesium fluoride powder is also utilized in the production of scintillation detectors, catalysts, and as a source of cesium ions in various chemical reactions.
When working with Cesium fluoride powder, it is important to follow these safety instructions: 1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear appropriate PPE, including gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat or protective clothing. This will help protect your skin, eyes, and clothing from potential contact with the powder. 2. Ventilation: Work in a well-ventilated area or use a fume hood to prevent the inhalation of any dust or fumes that may be generated during handling or manipulation of the powder. 3. Handling: Avoid direct contact with the powder as much as possible. Use tools such as spatulas or scoops to handle the powder and minimize the risk of skin contact. 4. Storage: Store Cesium fluoride powder in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials. Ensure that the container is labeled properly to indicate the contents and any associated hazards. 5. Spills: In case of a spill, carefully clean it up using appropriate methods, such as using a vacuum cleaner equipped with a HEPA filter or wetting the powder to prevent it from becoming airborne. Dispose of the spilled material according to local regulations. 6. Fire hazards: Cesium fluoride powder is not flammable, but it can release toxic fumes when exposed to high temperatures. Avoid open flames or any potential ignition sources in the vicinity of the powder. 7. First aid: In case of accidental exposure or ingestion, seek medical attention immediately. Rinse affected areas with plenty of water and remove contaminated clothing. Do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical professionals. 8. Training: Ensure that all personnel working with Cesium fluoride powder are properly trained on its safe handling, storage, and disposal procedures. Regularly review and update safety protocols to maintain a safe working environment. Remember, these instructions are a general guideline, and it is essential to consult the specific safety data sheet (SDS) provided by the manufacturer for detailed information on handling Cesium fluoride powder.
