Other Components: May contain very small quantities of residual solvents, moisture, or byproducts from synthesis process
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, monitor for respiratory distress, provide medical attention if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Wash affected area thoroughly with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, seek treatment for persistent irritation
Eye Contact: Flush eyes for at least fifteen minutes with water, hold eyelids open, obtain medical care if discomfort continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, avoid induced vomiting unless professional recommends, seek immediate medical advice if large amounts consumed
Notes for Physicians: Copper toxicity manifests as gastrointestinal upset, liver or kidney disturbance; provide supportive care
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, or water spray for containment
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Direct streams may spread material, avoid high-pressure water
Special Hazards: Can release irritating fumes of copper oxides and carbon oxides at high temperatures
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus recommended
Fire and Explosion Data: Not flammable under normal conditions, but containers may burst in intense heat
Personal Precautions: Wear protective clothing, gloves, and goggles, avoid dust generation
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry to waterways and sewers, contain spill with absorbent materials
Cleanup Methods: Sweep up carefully, collect in appropriate labeled containers, ventilate area
Disposal: Dispose of material according to local, state, and federal regulations, clean contaminated floors thoroughly
Reference to Other Sections: For PPE and disposal guidance, refer to related sections of this sheet
Safe Handling Procedures: Use with adequate ventilation, avoid dust formation, do not eat or drink while handling
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after use, remove contaminated clothing before eating
Storage Conditions: Store in sealed container, protected from light, heat, and moisture
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, acids, bases can degrade product or cause reactions
Specific Storage Requirements: Keep away from food and animal feedstuffs, maintain material label and security
Exposure Limits: Occupational exposure limits for copper dusts and mists typically set by OSHA and ACGIH (e.g. 1 mg/m3 for copper dust)
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, ensure eyewash stations are accessible
Personal Protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, lab coat
Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH-approved dust mask or respirator if dust is present
Environmental Controls: Take measures to prevent dust or residue from entering watercourses or sewers
Appearance: Blue-green powder or crystalline granules
Odor: Odorless
pH (solution): Typically around 5.5 to 7 (1% aqueous solution)
Melting Point: Decomposes above 170°C
Boiling Point: Decomposes before boiling
Solubility: Freely soluble in water, practically insoluble in organic solvents
Density: Approximately 1.97 g/cm3
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at ambient temperature
Partition Coefficient: Not readily applicable, as the product is ionic and water-soluble
Evaporation Rate: Not volatile
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal temperature and storage conditions
Reactivity: No dangerous reactions expected under recommended use
Possible Hazardous Reactions: Avoid contact with strong oxidizers, acids, or bases which may result in decomposition
Conditions to Avoid: Excess heat, exposure to moisture, prolonged exposure to open air
Hazardous Decomposition Products: May emit copper oxides, carbon oxides, or other irritating fumes upon heating or combusting
Acute Toxicity: Oral LD50 (rat): estimated at 300-1000 mg/kg; may cause stomach upset at low doses, more severe symptoms possible with higher intake
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: May cause mild irritation following prolonged contact
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Can lead to eye redness, watering, or discomfort
Respiratory Sensitization: Inhalation of dust can lead to respiratory tract irritation
Chronic Effects: Extended or excessive ingestion may lead to copper buildup, impacting liver and kidney
Carcinogenicity: No strong evidence of carcinogenicity available for copper gluconate
Other Information: Symptoms of copper toxicity include vomiting, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, and in severe cases, kidney failure
Ecotoxicity: Toxic for aquatic life at elevated concentrations, can bioaccumulate and cause disruption in aquatic environments
Persistence and Degradability: Product is not readily biodegradable, copper ions are persistent in water and soil
Bioaccumulative Potential: Copper may accumulate in aquatic organisms
Mobility in Soil: Copper ions may migrate through soils but can adsorb to soil particulates
Other Adverse Effects: High levels in water can harm fish, invertebrates, and plants; minimize environmental release
Disposal Methods: Dispose as hazardous chemical waste, in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations
Contaminated Packaging: Rinse container, dispose as hazardous waste, avoid reuse
