Chemical Name: Polyinosinic Acid, Sodium Salt
CAS Number: 25717-66-8
Purity: >95% (typically reagent grade)
Impurities: Trace sodium chloride and moisture as by-products of synthesis
Molecular Formula: (C10H11N4NaO7P)n
Molecular Weight: Variable, dependent on polymer length
Inhalation: Move to fresh air, seek medical attention if respiratory symptoms develop or persist
Skin Contact: Wash affected area with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, contact physician if irritation persists
Eye Contact: Rinse thoroughly with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present, seek medical advice for persistent irritation
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, do not induce vomiting, consult a doctor if symptoms develop
Important Symptoms: Irritation to mucous membranes, reddening or itching in exposed tissue possible
Medical Attention: Specific treatment unnecessary for small exposures, supportive care recommended if symptoms occur
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Media: High-pressure water jets may spread dust
Fire Hazards: None identified for powder or aqueous solution, material not flammable
Combustion Products: Thermal decomposition may release oxides of carbon, nitrogen, and sodium compounds
Special Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing for excessive smoke exposure
Precautions: Cool containers exposed to heat with water spray, avoid inhaling combustion fumes
Personal Precautions: Wear protective gloves, mask, and goggles to minimize skin and respiratory exposure
Spill Response: Avoid generating dust, sweep up solid material for collection, wipe surface with wet absorbent material
Environmental Precautions: Prevent run-off to sewage systems, minimize release to soil or water
Cleanup Method: Collect spilled material into suitably labeled and sealed containers for disposal according to regulations, ventilate area after cleanup
Reporting: Notify supervisory staff in case of significant release within the laboratory or facility
Safe Handling: Handle within chemical fume hood or well-ventilated space, avoid breathing dust, wear protective equipment
Storage Conditions: Store at controlled room temperature (or as specified by supplier), tightly closed container, protect from moisture, direct sunlight and incompatible chemicals
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizers, strong acids or alkalis
Hygiene Practices: Keep away from food and beverages, wash hands and face before breaks and at end of work, remove contaminated clothing immediately
Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits established for sodium polyinosinic acid salt
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation or chemical fume hood
Eye Protection: Laboratory safety goggles
Skin Protection: Nitrile or latex gloves, lab coat or apron
Respiratory Protection: Dust mask or NIOSH-approved respirator if airborne dust forms
General Safeguards: Safety shower and eyewash stations nearby, avoid prolonged or repeated exposure
Appearance: White to off-white powder, hygroscopic, soluble in water
Odor: Odorless
pH: Neutral to slightly basic (aqueous solution)
Melting Point: Not determined (decomposes prior to melting)
Boiling Point: Not applicable
Solubility: Freely soluble in water, insoluble in most organic solvents
Vapor Pressure: Negligible, non-volatile material
Other Properties: Stable under normal storage, no explosive or oxidizing properties
Chemical Stability: Stable in dry form at ambient temperatures, degradation may occur with prolonged exposure to moisture, heat, or light
Reactivity: Not reactive under standard conditions
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, acids, bases
Hazardous Decomposition: Thermal breakdown produces oxides of carbon, nitrogen, and sodium, as well as phosphate compounds
Polymerization: Not expected to occur under normal storage and use
Acute Toxicity: No acute toxicity data available for sodium polyinosinic acid salt in typical laboratory exposures
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin contact, eye contact, ingestion
Symptoms: Possible mild respiratory irritation, mild skin or mucous membrane irritation
Sensitization: No allergic or sensitizing potential reported
Chronic Exposure: No evidence of carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, or reproductive toxicity in available literature
Additional Notes: Experience suggests limited risk if handled with standard laboratory precautions, but long-term effects lack comprehensive study
Ecotoxicity: No data showing significant toxicity or persistence in aquatic or terrestrial environments
Biodegradability: Expected to degrade over time, not classified as hazardous for the environment
Bioaccumulation: Not likely to accumulate in organisms
Mobility: Readily disperses in water, limited persistence expected
Other Effects: Large uncontrolled releases can contribute to organic load in aquatic systems, so prevent direct discharge to waterways
Waste Disposal: Collect waste in suitable containers for disposal through authorized chemical waste contractor
Contaminated Packaging: Rinse thoroughly before disposal or incinerate according to regulations
Disposal Restrictions: Avoid disposal to local sewers, laboratories encouraged to follow institutional and regional hazardous waste guidelines
Additional Guidance: Contact local environmental authorities for more specific disposal instructions if large quantities need removal
