Chemical Name: Benzoylmetronidazole
Chemical Formula: C12H11N3O4
CAS Number: 13182-89-3
Impurities/Additives: Trace solvents or starting materials (should remain below regulatory reporting limits)
Concentration: 98-100% (analytical standard or reagent grade)
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open. Seek medical attention for ongoing irritation.
Skin Contact: Wash area using soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Obtain medical care if irritation persists.
Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air. Ensure airway remains open. Seek medical care for difficulty breathing, coughing, or persistent symptoms.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly using water. Do not induce vomiting unless directed by health professionals. Obtain medical attention as needed.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam, or water spray.
Specific Hazards: May produce toxic fumes such as nitrogen oxides and carbon oxides during combustion.
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear. Remove containers from fire area if safe.
Special Methods: Avoid water jets which might spread contamination.
Personal Precautions: Use dust mask, gloves, safety goggles, and laboratory coat. Avoid breathing dust and contact with skin or eyes.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage. Do not allow substance to enter soil, waterways, or drains.
Cleanup Methods: Safely sweep or vacuum spill, minimizing dust generation. Place collected material in proper waste container for disposal. Ventilate affected area. Wash spill area thoroughly after cleanup.
Precautions for Safe Handling: Minimize dust creation and accumulation. Wash hands thoroughly following use. Do not eat, drink, or smoke where this chemical is handled, stored, or processed.
Safe Storage Conditions: Keep in tightly closed, labeled containers. Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Protect from light, heat, and moisture. Separate from incompatible substances such as oxidizing agents.
Exposure Limits: No specific occupational exposure limits set for this compound.
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation to control airborne dust levels. Maintain eyewash stations and safety showers in close working proximity.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear gloves resistant to chemicals, safety goggles, and protective laboratory clothing. Use dust mask or respirator if airborne concentrations increase. Wash exposed skin after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
Physical State: Solid (powder or crystalline)
Color: White to off-white
Odor: Odorless or faint chemical scent
Melting Point: 170–177°C
Boiling Point: Not applicable (decomposes)
Solubility: Slightly soluble in water, freely soluble in organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, and DMSO
pH: Not determined in aqueous suspension
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at room temperature
Density: Approx. 1.4 g/cm³
Partition Coefficient: Not available
Flash Point: Not applicable
Auto-ignition Temperature: Not established
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal laboratory conditions without excessive heat, moisture, or light exposure.
Reactivity: No hazardous reactions under normal usage and storage conditions. May slowly hydrolyze with prolonged exposure to water or strong acidic/basic conditions.
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, acids, and bases may break down molecule or cause hazardous decomposition.
Decomposition Products: Produces carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and other organic fragments when heated strongly.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur with proper storage and handling.
Acute Toxicity: Limited animal data. Predicted low oral/inhalation toxicity based on structural analogs. LD50 (oral, rat): >2000 mg/kg.
Skin Irritation: May cause mild irritation on prolonged contact.
Eye Irritation: Can produce mild, reversible irritation.
Respiratory Sensitization: Prolonged or repeated inhalation of dust may irritate upper respiratory tract.
Chronic Effects: No known chronic toxicity reports in humans. Not considered mutagenic or carcinogenic based on limited animal studies.
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin, and eye contact. Ingestion less likely outside laboratory settings.
Medical Symptoms: Irritation, redness, coughing, shortness of breath with high dust concentration.
Ecotoxicity: No specific ecotoxicity data available. Based on structure, not expected to pose significant risk to aquatic or terrestrial species at low concentrations.
Mobility: Low solubility reduces migration in groundwater. Binds to organic matter.
Persistence and Degradability: Stable under most environmental conditions but may slowly degrade to innocuous products.
Bioaccumulation Potential: Not expected to bioaccumulate in aquatic or terrestrial organisms.
Waste Treatment Methods: Collect waste in clearly labeled containers. Dispose of contents and containers through licensed chemical waste collection service.
Disposal Precautions: Follow all local, regional, and national regulations. Do not discharge into drains or open environment.
Contaminated Packaging: Rinse and dispose of containers according to waste contractor and regulatory guidelines.
UN Number: Not subject to UN transport regulations for dangerous goods.
Proper Shipping Name: Not regulated
Transport Hazard Class: None assigned
Packing Group: Not applicable
Hazards During Transport: Avoid rough handling and prevent package rupture or leakage.
Labelling: Not classified as a hazardous substance or mixture for labeling.
Regulatory Listings: Check relevant local, national, and international inventories for chemical registration. Not listed on major restricted chemical lists based on available information.
Workplace Controls: Maintain good hygiene practices, keep safety data sheets accessible, train personnel in proper handling procedures.
Other Regulation: Observe workplace controls for chemical laboratory agents and good manufacturing practices.
