Safety Note: Potassium Carbonate is an alkaline chemical that may cause skin irritation, serious eye irritation, and respiratory irritation if dust is inhaled. Avoid unnecessary inhalation of dust and direct contact with the eyes and skin. Wear suitable personal protective equipment, including safety goggles, protective gloves, and appropriate laboratory clothing. Handle in a well-ventilated area and minimise dust generation. Avoid contact with strong acids, as it reacts with acids and may release carbon dioxide gas. Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry place, protected from moisture and incompatible substances. Follow the supplier's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for proper handling, storage, and disposal.
