Suitable Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or water spray
Unsuitable Media: Direct water jet may cause spattering
Hazards from Substance: Combustion releases carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and potentially irritating volatile compounds
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective clothing
Advice for Firefighters: Use water spray to cool unopened containers, prevent runoff to sewers
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, ventilate area, use chemical-resistant gloves, eye/face protection, and avoid contact with spilled product
Environmental Precautions: Prevent unauthorized discharge into soil, drains, or waterways; report significant release as required
Clean-Up Methods: Absorb with inert material (sand, vermiculite), place in chemical waste container for disposal, wash area with water to remove residues
Safe Handling: Avoid contact with skin and eyes, avoid inhalation of vapors or mists, use only in well-ventilated areas, keep away from ignition sources
Hygiene Practices: Do not eat, drink, or smoke in work areas; wash hands after handling; keep work clothing separate
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly sealed original container in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, heat sources, oxidizers, acids
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids or bases may cause hazardous reactions or decomposition
Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits established for diisopropyl tartrate; use general limits for nuisance dust if necessary
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation or fume hood recommended in laboratory settings
Personal Protective Equipment: Splash goggles or face shield, chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), lab coat or apron, use respirator with organic vapor cartridge if ventilation is inadequate
Other Controls: Ensure availability of eyewash and safety shower stations, maintain clean, clutter-free work areas

Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, open flame, strong acids or bases, direct sunlight
Acute Toxicity: Data not fully established; not expected to be acutely toxic by oral, dermal, or inhalation exposure
Skin Irritation: Prolonged or repeated contact causes irritation or dermatitis
Eye Irritation: Causes redness, watering, possible temporary damage if not rapidly washed out
Inhalation Effects: Inhalation of vapor or mist may cause headache, respiratory discomfort, or cough
Chronic Effects: No evidence of long-term health effects or carcinogenicity from available data
Sensitization: No data suggesting respiratory or dermal sensitization
Ecotoxicity: Limited evidence of aquatic toxicity; spills may cause short-term adverse effects to aquatic environments
Persistence and Degradability: Likely biodegradable by microorganisms; no long-term accumulation in the environment expected
Bioaccumulation Potential: Low potential due to solubility and expected metabolism
Mobility in Soil: Mobile in soil and water; avoid release to environment
Other Adverse Effects: No significant ozone depletion or global warming effect
