Chemical Name: Epinephrine Acid Tartrate
Common Name: Epinephrine Tartrate
CAS Number: 51-42-3
Percentage: ≥98% by weight
Impurities: Trace residual solvents below regulatory thresholds
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Seek immediate medical help.
Skin Contact: Take off contaminated clothing and wash skin with plenty of water. Medical attention may be required depending on extent of exposure.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Seek medical attention if symptoms develop or if exposed in large amounts.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting. Call poison control center or a doctor immediately.
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide.
Fire Hazards: Material does not burn easily but can emit toxic fumes under fire conditions including carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters require self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear.
Other Advice: Avoid runoff from fire control as it can cause environmental contamination.
Personal Precautions: Put on appropriate protective equipment including gloves and safety goggles. Restrict unprotected individuals from entering the spill area.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe. Do not allow product to reach drains, sewers, or surface water.
Clean-up Methods: Sweep up without creating dust. Place in a designated container for disposal. Clean affected area with water and detergent. Ventilate the area after cleaning.
Handling: Handle with care. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid unnecessary exposure by using laboratory safety protocols and keeping containers closed when not in use.
Storage Conditions: Store at 2-8°C in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers.
Packaging: Keep container tightly sealed and properly labeled.
Incompatibilities: Store away from acids, bases, and oxidizing materials.
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific occupational exposure limit established. Observe general chemical hygiene standards.
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation to minimize dust formation. Maintain eyewash stations and safety showers within immediate work area.
Personal Protective Equipment: Use impervious gloves, lab coat, chemical safety goggles, and, in case of dust formation, a National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) approved dust respirator.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling; do not eat, drink, or smoke in areas where material is used, handled, or stored.
