Manufacturer: [Manufacturer details]
Contact Information: [Address, phone number, emergency contact]
CAS Number: [Enter appropriate CAS number]
Molecular Formula: Varies (typically peptide-bound copper)
Molecular Weight: Dependent on protein carrier
Classification: Not classified as hazardous under normal conditions, but copper content may pose acute toxicity if mismanaged
Signal Word: Warning
Hazard Statements: May cause irritation to skin and eyes, harmful if inhaled or swallowed in large quantities, potential for environmental harm to aquatic life
Pictograms: Exclamation mark, environment (if above threshold)
Precautionary Statements: Avoid breathing dust, wash hands thoroughly after handling, prevent discharge into waterways
Target Organs: Liver, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract
Copper Content: Typically 5-15% by weight (elemental Cu)
Protein Carrier: Ranges from casein hydrolysate to plant extracts, balance of product
Additives/Impurities: May include stabilizers, anti-caking agents; heavy metal impurities extremely low by regulation
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, keep comfortable, seek medical help if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash with soap and water for minimum fifteen minutes, seek attention for irritation
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, consult physician
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting, rinse mouth, drink water, seek immediate medical advice if large amounts are swallowed
Acute Symptoms: Nausea, vomiting, headache, abdominal pain, diarrhea, allergic reaction rare but possible
Flammability: Protein copper generally not flammable but organic content may burn under strong ignition
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide
Hazardous Combustion Products: Oxides of copper, carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
Fire-Fighting Instructions: Prevent runoff from entering drains, use caution due to toxic fumes
Personal Precautions: Wear gloves, eye protection, dust mask if airborne particles are present
Environmental Precautions: Avoid spillage into watercourses or soil, collect residue, notify authorities if large release threatens environment
Containment and Clean-Up: Sweep up material without generating dust, shovel into secure containers, clean spill area with damp cloth or mop, dispose in accordance with local regulations
Handling Practices: Use in well-ventilated spaces, avoid inhaling dust and direct contact with skin or eyes,
Storage Conditions: Store in original container tightly sealed, in cool, dry, ventilated area,
Incompatibilities: Keep away from acids, strong oxidizers, ammonium salts; avoid moisture
Specific Storage Requirements: Locked cabinet for bulk storage, secondary containment if required by local law
Occupational Exposure Limits: Copper fume (OSHA PEL): 0.1 mg/m3, dust and mist: 1.0 mg/m3
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, process enclosure
Personal Protection: Eye/face protection (safety goggles), chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene), lab coat, dust mask if airborne levels exceed threshold
Hygiene Measures: Wash thoroughly after handling, do not eat or smoke around the material, remove contaminated clothing before leaving work area
Appearance: Fine powder or granules, colors range from blue-green to light-brown
Odor: Slightly organic or earthy
pH: Slightly acidic to neutral (in solution)
Melting/Freezing Point: Not applicable (decomposes before melting)
Solubility: Readily disperses in water, soluble depending on carrier protein
Density: Typically 1.2–1.6 g/cm³
Vapor Pressure: Not applicable
Boiling Point: Not applicable
Decomposition Temperature: Above 120°C (dependant on protein component)
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal conditions of use and storage
Reactivity: No dangerous reactions expected under normal use, but reacts with acids and strong oxidizers
Hazardous Decomposition: Releases toxic fumes including copper oxides, nitrogen oxides, and ammonia under fire
Polymerization: Will not occur
Acute Toxicity: Oral LD50 (estimated, rat): 250-400 mg/kg copper content
Inhalation: Dust inhalation can cause upper respiratory irritation
Skin/Eye Irritation: Contact may result in itching, redness, mild irritation
Chronic Exposure: Long-term excessive ingestion may damage liver and kidneys, cumulative copper burden
Carcinogenicity: Not classified as carcinogenic by IARC, OSHA, or NTP
Allergenicity: Protein element may cause rare hypersensitivity in predisposed individuals
Ecotoxicity: Highly toxic to aquatic invertebrates and fish at certain concentrations (copper accumulates in environment)
Persistence and Degradability: Protein component breaks down naturally, copper remains and can persist
Mobility in Soil: Copper binds to soil particles, limited movement in neutral/alkaline soils
Bioaccumulation: Copper can bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms, long-term ecological effects possible in water bodies with repeated exposure
Avoid release: Strict measures in handling and accidental spill response reduce environmental exposure risks
Waste Handling: Material should not be discharged into sewer systems or water bodies
Disposal Methods: Dispose of as hazardous chemical waste in accordance with local, regional, and national requirements
Container Disposal: Triple rinse and puncture empty containers prior to discarding, send bulk waste to licensed facility, avoid open dumping
UN Number: Typically not regulated as Dangerous Good (unless copper concentration exceeds regulatory limits)
Proper Shipping Name: Protein copper compound
Transport Hazard Class: None under standard DOT, IATA, or IMDG codes; verify for large volumes
Packaging Instructions: Use sealed, compatible containers; prevent moisture infiltration
Special Precautions: Clearly mark package contents, avoid rough handling, keep away from incompatible materials
Inventory Status: Listed or exempt under TSCA, REACH, DSL as required
SARA Title III: Copper listed under Section 313 (Toxic Chemical Release Inventory)
OSHA Hazard: Classified under general chemical hygiene standards
Labeling Requirements: Contains copper; safety, first aid, and spill-response instructions—display clearly on primary and secondary packaging
Warning for Users: Familiarize with workplace exposure limits, environmental guidelines, and local chemical handling ordinances; cooperate with regulatory audits
