CAIROX is available in 25-kg pails, 50-kg kegs, 150-kg drums, 1,500-kg cycle-bins, and bulk up to 21,772 kg (48,000 lb).
Under normal conditions, CAIROX is stable. It will keep indefinitely if stored in a cool, dry area in a closed container. Avoid contact with acids, peroxides, and all combustible organic or readily oxidizable materials including metal powders. With hydrochloric acid, chlorine gas is liberated. It may decompose if exposed to heat. Store at less than 302 ºF (150 ºC ).
Where exposure to airborne CAIROX may exist, a user should wear goggles, rubber or plastic gloves, and an approved National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health/Mine Safety and Health Administration dust and mist respirator. Normal clothing that covers arms and legs and a rubber or plastic apron are suitable attire. Always provide ventilation in the work area.
Following exposure to CAIROX potassium permanganate, brown stains of manganese dioxide often form on the skin as a natural decomposition product. These stains are harmless and can be removed using a solution composed of 3 parts 3 percent hydrogen peroxide, 4 parts 5 percent food grade white vinegar, and 3 parts tap water. Wash off excess when the stain is gone. Do not use if skin becomes red or irritated, or on sensitive tissue such as eyes, mucous membranes, open wounds, or burns.
