We do not recommend directly applying the classification of ordinary Ferrosilicon or Silicon Nitride to FeSiN. Use the SDS for the actual product you will receive.

When handling intact lumps, the main task is still to control the material generated by breakage or abrasion.

Depending on the risk assessment, the following may be used:

• safety glasses;
• work gloves;
• protective clothing;
• local exhaust ventilation at points where dust is generated;
• respiratory protection if required by the SDS and exposure assessment.

The specific respirator type should be selected based on the actual workplace assessment rather than only on the material name.

Store the material in a dry area and protect it from uncontrolled moisture and foreign contamination.

After receiving the material, check:

• the integrity of the outer packaging;
• the absence of signs of moisture ingress;
• batch identification;
• the absence of foreign inclusions;
• excessive generation of fine fractions after transportation.

If lump size is an acceptance parameter, material breakage during transportation should be evaluated separately from Chemical Composition.

Do not assign a hazard class yourself based on the trade name. Check the Transport Information section of the current SDS and the actual requirements for the selected mode of transportation.

For international transportation, separate checks of IMDG, IATA/ICAO, ADR or national requirements may be necessary depending on the route.

If the material is used in the United States, separately check the applicable OSHA Hazard Communication requirements and the transport classification based on the current SDS.

• The current SDS for the actual product is the basis of the safety assessment.
• The lump form does not eliminate dust and fines generation.
• PPE should be selected according to the actual exposure assessment.
• FeSiN should be stored dry and protected from contamination.
• Transport classification should be confirmed by documents rather than assumed.

Is an SDS required for ferrosilicon nitride lump?
Yes. Before use, request the current version of the SDS for the actual supplied product.

Is dust completely absent from lump material?
No. Fines and dust can be generated during breakage, loading, unloading and long-distance transportation.

Can FeSiN be stored outdoors?
Dry, protected storage in undamaged packaging is recommended. Specific conditions should be checked against the SDS and agreed packaging.
