What safety and handling considerations apply for CAS NO. 288-94-8?

Safety must be front-of-mind when working with CAS NO. 288-94-8. Some critical points:

  • It is identified as having explosion hazard potential: according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (CAMEO Chemicals), 1H-Tetrazole may "explode and throw fragments … if fire reaches cargo".

  • The SDS for a typical product (3-4 wt % solution in acetonitrile) lists it under "Highly flammable liquid and vapour", with serious eye irritation risk.

  • Handling should include explosion-proof equipment, grounding of containers, avoidance of friction/impact, strong ventilation and protective personal equipment.

  • Storage should be cool, dry, inert-atmosphere where possible, away from strong oxidisers, acids, metals etc.

At Jiangsu Run'an Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., our shipments are packaged with full hazard labelling, transport documentation and storage guidance to ensure safe delivery and usage.
