Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, hold eyelids apart, seek medical attention if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin thoroughly with soap and water, do not use solvents, seek medical advice if irritation occurs
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, support breathing as needed, seek medical attention if symptoms of respiratory irritation such as coughing or shortness of breath develop
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, do not induce vomiting, seek immediate medical attention for large exposures or if discomfort persists
Aggravating Conditions: Pre-existing respiratory, skin, or eye conditions may increase susceptibility to effects
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Direct jets of water may spread spilled material
Specific Hazards: Produces carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur oxides, and unpleasant fumes in a fire
Hazardous Combustion Products: Oxides of carbon and sulfur, low molecular fragments
Protective Equipment: Fire fighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus, full turnout gear recommended
Special Procedures: Cool exposed containers with water mist, stay upwind from fire, prevent fire water from entering drains
Personal Precautions: Use appropriate protective gloves, goggles, and lab coat, avoid generating dust or aerosols
Environmental Precautions: Prevent large releases from entering soil or waterways, notify authorities if spill reaches water systems
Methods for Clean-Up: Cover with absorbent material (sand, earth), sweep up, dispose as chemical waste, ventilate affected area
Decontamination: Wash spill area with detergent and water if safe to do so, collect all cleaning materials for proper disposal
Handling: Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes, use mechanical ventilation, avoid breathing dust, keep container tightly closed
Storage Requirements: Store in cool, well-ventilated dry area, away from heat and incompatible substances such as strong oxidizers or bases, keep away from direct sunlight
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, reducing agents may degrade or react violently
Special Storage Conditions: Maintain container integrity to avoid contamination, label containers properly, keep out of reach of children and untrained workers
Transfer Precautions: Use clean and dry tools and vessels during transfer to prevent moisture pick-up and cross-contamination
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific regulatory limits for mixture, consult limits for individual components
Engineering Controls: Use fume hood, local exhaust ventilation, maintain air changes
Respiratory Protection: NIOSH-approved mask in case of dust formation or poor ventilation
Eye Protection: Chemical splash goggles preferred
Skin Protection: Impermeable gloves (nitrile or neoprene), long sleeves, lab coat or chemical-resistant apron
General Hygiene: Wash hands, forearms, and face after handling, remove contaminated clothing before re-entering public areas
Appearance: White to off-white waxy solid
Odor: Mild, characteristic fatty alcohol odor
pH (10% solution): 4-5
Melting Point: 38 to 83°C (mixture, depending on composition ratio)
Boiling Point: Begins at 200°C (chemical mixture, decomposes slowly at higher temperatures)
Solubility in Water: Sparingly soluble, significant solubility in alcohols and organic solvents
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at room temperature
Density: 0.8-1.1 g/cm³
Evaporation Rate: Not applicable to solids
Flash Point: Exceeds 190°C (closed cup, for highest alcohol component)
Partition Coefficient (Log Kow): High (lipophilic compounds), supports environmental persistence
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions
Reactivity: No dangerous reaction known under normal use conditions
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, open flame, contact with strong oxidizers or acids
Hazardous Decomposition: Sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, minor aldehydes or ketones on thermal breakdown
Incompatible Materials: Chlorinating agents, oxidizing agents, strong reducing substances
Polymerization: Will not occur under standard conditions
Acute Toxicity: L-Valine and alcohols present low oral toxicity to humans, main irritation from ethanesulphonic acid
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Mild to moderate irritation possible after prolonged or repeated contact
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: May cause redness, lacrimation, discomfort, more pronounced with ethanesulphonic acid contact
Respiratory Sensitization: Dust may provoke mild irritation or coughing
Ingestion: Large quantities may cause gastrointestinal upset, nausea
Chronic Effects: Long-term exposure not well-studied, fatty alcohols considered low hazard, ethanesulphonic acid may worsen dermatological conditions
Carcinogenicity: No components on major regulatory lists as known carcinogens
Mutagenicity/Reproductive Toxicity: No strong evidence of genotoxicity or reproductive toxicity at exposure levels encountered in typical laboratory or manufacturing settings
Ecotoxicity: Fatty alcohols and ethanesulphonic acid may be toxic to aquatic organisms at high concentration
Persistence and Degradability: Partial persistence expected due to hydrophobic alcohol chains, slow biodegradation in water
Bioaccumulation: High potential for bioconcentration due to lipophilic nature of alcohols
Mobility in Soil: Limited mobility for alcohols, sulfonic acid component more mobile in water
Other Adverse Effects: Avoid uncontrolled environmental release, significant quantities may disrupt aquatic compartments or wastewater treatment
Disposal Methods: Dispose of waste via licensed chemical disposal contractor, incineration or high-temperature combustion preferred for complete breakdown
Contaminated Containers: Rinse with appropriate cleaning agent, remove labels before recycling or disposal
Disposal Precautions: Do not release to natural waterways, sewer, or unapproved landfills
