Handling and Storage Guidance for succinic anhydride
succinic anhydride is corrosive to skin, eyes, or metals. Store in acid-resistant or alkali-resistant cabinets as appropriate. Do not store in metal containers. Secondary containment (drip trays) is required. Segregate from incompatible substances such as strong oxidisers.
succinic anhydride may cause irritation to skin, eyes, or respiratory tract, or has low-level systemic toxicity. Adequate ventilation must be provided in work areas. Personal protective equipment (gloves, eye protection) is recommended during handling.
succinic anhydride is classified as a serious long-term health hazard. Exposure must be minimised using engineering controls (local exhaust ventilation, closed systems). Biological and medical monitoring may be required. Refer to the full Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Section 8 for occupational exposure limits.
This substance carries the signal word DANGER, indicating the more severe hazard categories under GHS/CLP. Facilities handling succinic anhydride should ensure a written hazard communication programme, including current SDS, employee training records, and GHS-compliant labelling on all containers.
This information is provided for reference only. Always consult the official Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and applicable national regulations before handling this substance.
The GHS classification shown above for succinic anhydride corresponds to Section 2 of its Safety Data Sheet. Learn how a compliant 16-section SDS is structured and authored.
