Inhalation: Remove from exposure, provide fresh air, seek medical attention for respiratory symptoms Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin with soap and water, seek medical advice if irritation persists Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for 15 minutes, remove contact lenses if necessary, seek medical advice for continued irritation Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, call poison center or doctor Most Important Symptoms: May cause temporary discomfort in eyes, skin; may cause gastrointestinal distress if swallowed Notes for Physicians: Treat symptomatically, observe for delayed reactions
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol resistant foam, carbon dioxide Unsuitable Media: Direct water stream may spread powder Fire Hazards: Product can decompose at high temperatures releasing noxious fumes including carbon oxides and nitrogen oxides Protective Equipment: Firefighters need self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear Special Precautions: Move containers from fire area if it can be done safely
Personal Precautions: Wear protective gloves, eye protection, and dust mask, avoid dust formation, ventilate area Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into sewers and waterways Cleanup Methods: Sweep up and collect material, place in suitable container for disposal, wash spill site after material pick-up Disposal: Handle according to local regulations for hazardous waste
Safe Handling: Handle in well-ventilated areas, use appropriate PPE, avoid formation of dust and direct contact Storage Requirements: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, keep container tightly closed away from incompatible materials Incompatibility: Strong oxidizers, acids, bases Hygiene: No eating, drinking, or smoking in use area, wash hands after handling
Exposure Limits: No established OSHA or ACGIH limits for DMAE bitartrate, general dust limits apply Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, process enclosures to minimize dust Personal Protective Equipment: Safety glasses with side shields, gloves resisting chemical exposure, properly fitted dust masks Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH-approved respirator if exposure risk exists Environmental Controls: Avoid release to environment
Appearance: White to off-white crystalline powder Odor: Mild, slightly amine-like pH (1% solution): Approximately 3.5 – 4.5 Solubility: Freely dissolves in water and alcohol Melting Point: 162 – 165°C Boiling Point: Not applicable (decomposes above melting) Flash Point: Not flammable as powder, no flash point determined Vapor Pressure: Not volatile Density: 1.29 g/cm³ Stability: Stable under normal conditions
Stability: Remains stable at room temperature in sealed containers Reactivity: Reacts with strong oxidizers, acids, and bases Hazardous Decomposition Products: Burning can release carbon oxides and nitrogen oxides Hazardous Polymerization: No hazardous polymerization expected Conditions to Avoid: Exposure to moisture and strong oxidizing agents
Acute Toxicity: Harmful if ingested, causes skin and eye irritation, limited data for LD50 oral (rat): 1500 mg/kg Chronic Effects: Prolonged exposure may lead to central nervous system effects, skin sensitization reported rarely Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin and eye contact, ingestion Symptoms of Exposure: Eye and skin irritation, stomach discomfort, headache Carcinogenicity: Not classified by IARC, NTP, or OSHA Mutagenicity / Reproductive Toxicity: Limited data, not identified as a mutagen or teratogen
Ecotoxicity: Not considered highly toxic to aquatic or terrestrial species, but avoid large-scale environmental release Persistence and Degradability: Expected to degrade in the environment over time Bioaccumulation Potential: Low potential for bioaccumulation Mobility in Soil: Soluble in water, can move through soil if released Other Adverse Effects: Avoid contamination of waterways, effects on aquatic organisms not fully tested
