4. Packaging & Storage

Packaging:
- Standard Sizes: Moisture-proof woven bags with inner plastic liner or jumbo bags.
- Fine & Precision Powders: Vacuum-sealed, inert gas-filled aluminum foil bags, or steel drums.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse. Protect from moisture and oxidation. Avoid excessive stacking height.

5. Health & Safety

Health Hazards: Chromium metal powder is generally considered low toxicity, but hexavalent chromium compounds are hazardous. Avoid prolonged or significant dust inhalation.
Flammability: WARNING: Fine and ultra-fine FeCr powder can form explosive dust-air mixtures. Keep away from ignition sources and static electricity. Implement explosion-proof measures.
Protective Measures: Operate with dust masks, safety glasses, and protective gloves. Ensure good workplace ventilation.
