Supplier Details: Distributed by specialty chemical providers; contact details as provided on shipment
Emergency Contact: Refer to supplier emergency telephone, reach out to local poison control for spill or exposure incidents
GHS Classification: Not classified as hazardous under GHS criteria in many jurisdictions, but research local regulations for updates
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin or eye contact, ingestion
Symptoms: Mild irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract possible; ingestion may cause gastrointestinal discomfort
Label Elements: No pictogram required under standard classifications, yet personal caution stays vital; avoid ingestion, inhalation, and prolonged or repeated skin contact
Other Hazards: Minimal risk of fire; may become slippery if spilled
Main Component: D-Tartaric Acid Diiso-Propyl Ester
Concentration: >98% purity for laboratory and production-grade material
Impurities: Minor (<2%) unidentified organic compounds, trace water content possible
Mixtures: Not a mixture in supplied form
Inhalation: Move to fresh air, monitor for respiratory irritation; seek medical attention for discomfort
Skin Contact: Immediately wash with soap and plenty of water; remove contaminated clothing
Eye Contact: Rinse carefully with water for several minutes; remove contact lenses if easy; continue rinsing and seek medical evaluation for ongoing irritation
Ingestion: Rinse mouth; drink water if conscious; get medical help; never give anything by mouth to unconscious person
Special Advice: Symptoms tend to be mild and resolve with general supportive care; always consult poison control for significant exposures
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, foam, or water spray
Unsuitable Media: Direct water jet might spread combustible liquid
Hazards from Combustion: Emits carbon oxides and possible irritant fumes in a fire
Protective Equipment: Wear full protective gear, self-contained breathing apparatus
Precautions: Keep containers cool with water spray away from fire area
Personal Precautions: Use protective gloves, goggles, and appropriate clothing; ventilate area
Spill Response: Absorb with inert material like vermiculite or sand; avoid spill reaching drains
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage; keep out of waterways, soil, and sewers
Cleanup Methods: Shovel material into suitable container for disposal; wash area with water after clean-up
Safe Handling: Work in a well-ventilated place, avoid breathing vapors; minimize spillage
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area; keep container tightly closed; protect from sunlight and temperature extremes
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizers, strong acids or bases; avoid contact with moisture
Other Measures: Ground containers when transferring material to minimize static discharge; label containers properly
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits specifically for this compound; follow general chemical handling guidance
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation if generating vapors, fume hood preferred in laboratory settings
Personal Protective Equipment: Nitrile or neoprene gloves, laboratory coat, safety goggles; chemical respirator if inhalation exposure risk grows due to insufficient ventilation
Hygiene Measures: Wash thoroughly after handling; remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse
Appearance: Clear to pale yellow liquid
Odor: Mild, sweet odor
Odor Threshold: Not established
pH: Not applicable
Melting Point: Not reported
Boiling Point: 240-245°C at 760 mmHg
Flash Point: >110°C, closed cup
Evaporation Rate: No data available
Flammability: Slightly combustible
Solubility: Miscible with organic solvents (alcohols, ethers); low water solubility
Vapor Pressure: Low at room temperature
Density: Approximately 1.08 g/cm³
Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water): Not established
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal temperatures and recommended storage conditions
Reactivity: No significant reactivity in standard use; avoid strong oxidizers and strong acids due to risk of decomposition
Hazardous Reactions: None known in typical handling
Polymerization: Will not occur
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, irritating organic vapors possible if heated strongly
Acute Toxicity: Low acute oral and dermal toxicity expected; not classified as a toxic substance by regulatory bodies
Chronic Effects: No evidence for long-term health risks at occupational exposure levels
Skin/Inhalation/Eye Effects: Mild irritant to eyes and skin based on structure-activity; vapor may irritate upper respiratory tract
Sensitization: No data suggesting skin or respiratory sensitization
Carcinogenicity/Mutagenicity/Reproductive Toxicity: No studies or evidence found indicating carcinogenic or reproductive hazard at relevant concentrations
Specific Target Organ Toxicity: None recognized under GHS at expected use
Ecotoxicity: Not considered highly toxic to aquatic life; biodegradability expected due to ester and organic acid structure
Persistence/Degradability: Readily biodegradable under aerobic conditions based on similar esters
Bioaccumulation Potential: Estimated as low due to water solubility and molecular size
Mobility in Soil: Mobile in most soils if spilled in liquid form; containment important in large spills
Other Information: No significant impact expected at normal use levels, but release of large quantities could affect aquatic life and local environment
Waste Handling: Dispose liquid and contaminated materials according to local, regional, and national regulations; do not pour into drains
Container Disposal: Triple rinse, deface label, and dispose of in accordance with local chemical waste authorities
Recycling: Recovery not practical on a small scale
Waste Codes: Check with relevant waste management authorities for updated chemical-specific codes or recommendations
UN Number: Not regulated for transport at standard concentrations and container sizes
Proper Shipping Name: Chemical, Not Otherwise Specified
Transport Hazard Class: Non-hazardous; not assigned specific transport class
Packing Group: Not regulated
Special Precautions: Keep upright, away from incompatible materials, avoid extreme heat or cold during transit
