1.3.3. Risks from adsorbents
The adsorbents (desiccants) are contained in the adsorbers (see “2.4. Parts and components”).
The adsorbent has been chosen with reference to the processing system and drying task. Use only adsorbents
supplied by the plant manufacturer.
Adsorbents are chemicals that need to be handled with the necessary care (DIN safety data sheet). The
adsorbents used in your plant are not subject to the labelling requirements according to the German Hazardous
Substances Ordinance. All adsorbents must be stored in a room that is only accessible to trained and instructed
personnel.
WARNING
Health risk from adsorbents
Risk of injury to eyes and injury from ingestion
• In the case of contact with the eyes, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water. Always consult
a doctor.
• After ingestion, immediately consult a doctor.
• Spilled adsorbent must be removed without causing airborne dust.
• When removing or adding adsorbent to the absorption dryer, wear a dust mask
(recommended protection class: P2 or FFP2) and safety goggles.
NOTE
Handling of adsorbents in the event of a fire
There are no restrictions regarding extinguishing agents. The adsorbent might however react
with water or foam.
