Inhalation: Move to fresh air, keep at rest in a comfortable position, seek medical attention if symptoms persist. Clear nasal passages if safe.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin using mild soap and water. Seek medical advice if irritation persists or discomfort appears.
Eye Contact: Rinse gently with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower eyelids. Remove contacts if easy. If symptoms persist, get medical help.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, give water if conscious. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek medical advice if large amounts are ingested.
Other Advice: Show the safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Treat based on symptoms.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical powder, foam, carbon dioxide, or water spray for small fires.
Unsuitable Media: Do not use a water jet directly on the burning mass; risk of chemical runoff.
Specific Hazards: May emit toxic fumes under fire conditions, including oxides of carbon.
Protective Equipment and Precautions: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus, protective gloves, and safety goggles. Keep containers cool by spraying with water if exposed to fire.
Explosion Data: Not considered an explosion hazard in powdered or solid form but fine dust may form explosive mixtures with air in rare circumstances.
Personal Precautions: Ventilate area. Wear dust mask, chemical-resistant gloves, lab coat, and safety goggles to prevent contact. Avoid raising dust.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, surface water, and soil. Contain spill to smallest area possible.
Methods for Cleanup: Sweep or scoop up material using spark-proof tools, place in container for disposal. Use a HEPA vacuum or wet mop to avoid dust. Wash spill site with plenty of water after material pickup is complete.
Other Advice: Dispose of collected waste in accordance with local authority guidelines.
Safe Handling: Use only in well-ventilated areas, use appropriate personal protective equipment, avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Prevent formation of dust clouds.
Storage Recommendations: Keep container tightly closed in dry, cool, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Store away from incompatible substances such as strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
Packaging Materials: Use original containers or containers made of compatible chemical-resistant material.
Hygiene Requirements: Do not eat, drink, or smoke in work area. Always wash hands after handling.
Control Parameters: No occupational exposure limits set by OSHA, ACGIH, or NIOSH for Ipriflavone.
Engineering Controls: Employ local exhaust ventilation, fume hoods, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended limits.
Personal Protection (Respiratory): Wear approved particulate respirator if dust forms.
Eyes: Use safety glasses with side shields or chemical splash goggles.
Hands: Wear suitable chemical-resistant gloves like nitrile or neoprene.
Skin/Body: Wear protective lab coat or apron.
