Safety & Health
- Safety Precautions
- Use safety glasses with side shields for eye protection.
- An air-purifying respirator suitable for particulates may be selected for protection after an optional exposure assessment is performed for your specific application.
- Use with appropriate local exhaust ventilation/dust collection in the work area.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Product Packaging
XLD3000 glass bubbles are packaged in heavy-duty polyethylene bags with cardboard containers designed to prevent damage during normal handling and shipping while maintaining free-flowing properties.
Storage & Handling
- Storage and Handling Conditions
- Carefully re-tie opened bags immediately after use.
- If the polyethylene bag is punctured during shipping or handling, seal the hole as soon as possible or insert the contents into an undamaged bag.
- During hot and/or humid months, store boxes in the driest, coolest space available.
Handling
- Do not open glass bubbles packages until ready to use.
- Upon opening, have an air siphon near the opening to pull away airborne particles.
- Remove glass bubbles with a suction "wand" (with slight positive pressure aeration) and transfer to a closed mixing tank inside fully contained piping. If a closed mixing tank is not available, use dust collection equipment as close as practical to the point of entry. Pneumatic conveyor systems have been used successfully to transport glass bubbles without dusting from shipping containers to batch mixing equipment.
- Static eliminators should be used to prevent static buildup.
