Chemical Name: Furaltadone
CAS Number: 139-91-3
Concentration: >99% (pure material)
Impurities/Additives: Negligible in pharmaceutical grade material
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Keep person comfortable. Provide artificial respiration if not breathing. Seek medical attention immediately.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash with plenty of water and soap for a minimum of 15 minutes. Get medical help if irritation persists.
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing and consult a physician.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water. Seek immediate medical advice. Do not give liquids to unconscious person.
Most Important Symptoms: Irritation of mucous membranes, gastrointestinal tract upset, dizziness.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical powder, or foam. Avoid using heavy water stream.
Specific Hazards: May produce toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide when burning.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear in closed spaces.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Avoid breathing hazardous combustion products. Prevent run-off to sewers and waterways.
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area. Avoid contact with released material and inhalation of dust. Wear appropriate PPE including gloves and goggles.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into sewers, groundwater, and confined areas.
Methods for Clean-up: Sweep or vacuum spill using equipment with dust filter. Place in container for personal disposal. Wash area with detergent and water after removal.
Decontamination: Use non-sparking tools and grounded containers.
Handling: Avoid creating dust. Handle with care to prevent skin and eye contact. Use closed process systems, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to limit exposure.
Storage: Store in well-ventilated, cool, dry area away from sunlight and incompatible substances. Keep tightly sealed in original container. Protect from moisture.
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizers, strong acids, strong bases.
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific limits established, general dust exposure limits apply (OSHA PEL for nuisance dust: 15 mg/m³ total dust).
Engineering Controls: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other controls to keep airborne levels below occupational exposure limits.
Personal Protection: Wear chemical safety goggles, appropriate gloves (nitrile or PVC recommended), lab coat or coveralls, and use respiratory protection if dust generation is likely.
Additional Hygiene: Wash hands before eating or drinking, remove contaminated clothing promptly.
