Composition / Information on Ingredients

Main Ingredient: Sandalore (2-(4-tert-Butylbenzyl)propionaldehyde) - concentration typically greater than 98%
Impurities: Trace organic materials, specific composition may depend on manufacturer
Other Components: No known hazardous stabilizers or additives in standard formulations

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air immediately, seek medical attention if coughing or discomfort persists
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, seek medical help for persistent redness or irritation
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses, get medical help if irritation or pain continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting without medical advice, seek immediate medical attention if feeling unwell
Symptoms: Redness, mild irritation, minor breathing discomfort if inhaled at high concentrations

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide
Specific Hazards: Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air; toxic fumes of carbon oxides can develop when burned
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus
Special Procedures: Remove containers from fire area if safe to do; cool with water spray

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Use protective gloves, eye protection, avoid breathing vapors
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spill from entering drains, soil, or waterways
Cleaning Methods: Absorb with inert material (sand, earth), sweep up, place in clearly labeled container for disposal
Large Spills: Contact emergency services and follow local response protocols

Handling and Storage

Safe Handling: Use in a well-ventilated space, wear protective gloves and goggles, avoid splashing and unnecessary contact
Storage Requirements: Store tightly closed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, bases, oxidizing agents
Other Advice: Keep out of reach of children and unauthorized persons

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits; follow good industrial hygiene practices
Ventilation: Local exhaust or general room ventilation to limit vapor buildup
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, protective clothing recommended
Respiratory Protection: Not required under normal conditions, but use approved respirators if mist or vapor concentration increases
