Chemical Name: Oleamide
CAS Number: 301-02-0
Purity: ≥ 98% (varies according to vendor)
Impurities: Trace fatty acid amides, minor saturated or unsaturated amides
Additives: No intentional additives
Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air; seek medical attention if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water; seek medical attention for persistent irritation
Eye Contact: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting eyelids; consult physician if irritation continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting; consult medical professionals for guidance
Most Important Symptoms: Eyes might feel sore or irritated; high dust exposure could cause coughing
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, CO2, foam
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Strong water jets could spread molten material
Specific Hazards: Burning can produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides
Protective Equipment: Firefighters need self-contained breathing apparatus and full gear
Advice: Cool exposed containers with water spray to prevent bursting
Personal Precautions: Avoid breathing dust; wear appropriate protective clothing and gloves
Environmental Precautions: Keep spill away from drains and natural water bodies
Spill Cleanup Methods: Sweep or vacuum up; place material in appropriate waste container; clean surface thoroughly to avoid slips
Ventilation: Operate in well-ventilated areas to limit dust exposure
Handling: Avoid dust generation; wash hands after handling; use with ventilation if powder is present
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed containers, away from incompatible substances such as strong oxidizers
Incompatibilities: Strong acids, strong oxidizing agents
Precautionary Measures: Prevent container damage; label storage to avoid accidental misuse
Temperature Sensitivity: Store away from excessive heat or direct sunlight to prevent melting
Occupational Exposure Limits: None established for oleamide; follow standards for nuisance dust
Engineering Controls: Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in powder applications
Personal Protective Equipment: Gloves (nitrile or latex), safety goggles if dust may contact eyes, dust masks for prolonged exposure
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before eating, drinking, or smoking; launder work clothing regularly
Environmental Exposure: Engineering controls help limit accidental release to the environment
Appearance: White to pale yellow waxy solid or powder
Odor: Faint fatty odor
Melting Point: 70–76°C
Boiling Point: >300°C
Solubility: Insoluble in water; soluble in organic solvents (e.g., ethanol, acetone, benzene)
Vapor Pressure: Extremely low at room temperature
Density: 0.94–0.98 g/cm³
pH: Not applicable (not water-soluble)
Flash Point: ~260°C
Partition Coefficient (log Kow): Approximately 6.7
Evaporation Rate: Not relevant (non-volatile)
Auto-ignition Temperature: Not readily available
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal handling and storage conditions
Reactivity: Does not react with most substances under ordinary environmental or storage conditions
Hazardous Reactions: May react with strong oxidizers acids

Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, ignition sources, incompatibles
Polymerization: Does not occur
Acute Toxicity: Low oral and dermal toxicity in animal studies
Inhalation: High concentrations of dust can irritate respiratory system
Skin Corrosion / Irritation: Not classified as an irritant, but sensitive individuals could see redness
Eye Damage / Irritation: Dust may cause mechanical irritation
Carcinogenicity: Not considered carcinogenic
Mutagenicity: No data suggesting genotoxic effects
Reproduction Toxicity: No current evidence of adverse reproductive impact
Chronic Effects: Not expected under foreseeable conditions
Ecotoxicity: Limited data; low toxicity to aquatic organisms based on structural similarity to fatty acid amides
Persistence and Degradability: Slowly biodegradable
Bioaccumulative Potential: Can have high log Kow, so potential for accumulation in organisms exists, but environmental impact appears minimal at relevant concentrations
Mobility in Soil: Low due to low water solubility
Other Adverse Effects: Responsible disposal encouraged to avoid build-up
Disposal Methods: Collect for disposal in accordance with local, regional, and national regulations; preferred route is incineration or landfill if permitted
Container Disposal: Clean empties before recycling or discarding according to local code
Precautions: Prevent spillage into sewers, soil, or surface waters to limit environmental load
UN Number: Not classified as a dangerous good by TDG, ADR, IMDG, IATA
Proper Shipping Name: Oleamide
Transport Hazard Class(es): None
Packing Group: None
Environmental Hazards: Not regarded as hazardous for transportation
Special Precautions: Avoid excessive stacking of containers that could lead to deformation or spills
Safety, Health and Environmental Regulations: Not listed as a hazardous substance under major chemical regulations such as TSCA, REACH, or WHMIS
Labeling Requirements: No mandatory hazard label, but safe handling information is typically provided
Inventory Listings: Appears on chemical inventories in the United States (TSCA), European Union (EINECS/ELINCS), Canada (DSL/NDSL), and other jurisdictions
Restrictions: Not subject to specific use restrictions or bans
Employee Training: Essential to review safe handling procedures and appropriate response to accidental exposure or release
