03 · Safety and handling

Consider temperature and containers.

Gallium can strongly attack aluminium and some other metals and impair their mechanical properties. Unsuitable containers must be avoided; storage and transport take place in material-compatible containers. Depending on ambient temperature and product form, gallium can melt. For gallium compounds, their safety data sheets are decisive.

NoteThe safety data sheet and the documents for the respective delivery are decisive.
