Chemical Name: (R)-1-Phenyl-1,3-Propanediol
CAS Number: 22833-51-6
EC Number: 245-235-8
Concentration: >99%
Impurities: Trace organic residuals from synthesis (<1%), water
Eye Contact: Immediately flush with plenty of water for 10-15 minutes, lifting eyelids. Remove contact lenses if present and continue rinsing. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin Contact: Wash with large amounts of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Take off contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. Contact a physician if symptoms persist.
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. Do not leave exposed person unattended. Provide respiratory support as needed. Seek medical attention if symptoms develop.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water if the person is conscious. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention for large or symptomatic ingestion.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: CO2, dry chemical, foam, water spray
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Direct water jets
Specific Hazards: May produce carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in fire situations; vapors may accumulate in low or confined areas and pose an explosion risk if ignited
Protective Equipment: Firefighters wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective turnout gear
Special Precautions: Approach from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors, use water spray to cool unopened containers and limit vapor formation
Personal Precautions: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, lab coat, and splash goggles, provide adequate ventilation, avoid dust formation
Emergency Procedures: Evacuate unprotected personnel from area, avoid contact with spilled material
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spill from entering drains, surface water, or soil
Cleanup Methods: Soak up with inert absorbent material (sand, earth, spill pads), place in suitable closed containers for disposal, ventilate area, wash spill site after material pick-up is complete
Safe Handling: Use in fume hood or well-ventilated area, minimize dust and vapor generation, avoid direct skin and eye contact, wash hands after handling
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed original container in cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from incompatible materials (strong oxidizers, acids), protect from sunlight, keep container secure from physical damage
Incompatibilities: Avoid oxidizers, strong acids
Permissible Exposure Limits: No established OSHA or ACGIH limits; handle using general chemical hygiene
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, safety shower and eyewash nearby
Personal Protective Equipment: Nitrile or neoprene gloves, safety goggles, lab coat; use NIOSH-approved respirator for dust if engineering control is inadequate
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before eating, smoking, or using bathroom after handling compound; do not eat or drink in work area
