Main Ingredient: Ferrocene carboxaldehyde >98% by weight
Impurities: Trace amounts of related ferrocene compounds, residual solvents from synthesis
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air at once, loosen tight clothing, encourage slow breathing; if symptoms persist, seek medical attention
Skin Contact: Wash affected area under running water with soap for several minutes; seek a healthcare provider if irritation lingers
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for at least fifteen minutes, keep eyelids apart; get medical help if redness or discomfort does not ease
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, do not induce vomiting, get medical advice immediately
Suitable Extinguishing Agents: Use dry chemical, CO2, or foam
Specific Hazards: May emit hazardous fumes like iron oxides and carbon oxides if burned
Firefighter Protective Equipment: Wear full protective gear and self-contained breathing apparatus
Personal Precautions: Wear gloves, lab coat, goggles, and use proper ventilation
Cleanup Method: Absorb spills with inert material (like vermiculite), sweep up carefully avoiding dust generation, dispose of waste as hazardous material
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, watercourses, or soil
Decontamination: Wash area with plenty of water after cleanup
Handling: Avoid direct skin contact, work in a fume hood, keep container closed when not in use
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from strong oxidizers, acids, and moisture
Incompatibilities: Do not store near strong acids, alkalis, or oxidizing agents
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, keep procedures enclosed when possible
Personal Protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves (like nitrile), lab coats, and safety glasses or goggles
Respiratory Protection: Use approved respirators if high concentrations or dust are present
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after handling, do not eat, drink, or smoke near material
