Product Name: Kolliphor P 407
Chemical Structure: Polyethylene-polypropylene glycol block copolymer
Common Uses: Dispersing agent for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, solubilizer in lab and industrial settings
Appearance: Waxy, white to off-white solid, usually in pellet or flake form, odorless
Solubility: Freely dissolves in water, also works with some organic solvents
Synonyms: Poloxamer 407, Pluronic F127
Main Hazards: Eye irritation, minor skin dryness with consistent contact, low acute toxicity
Physical Hazards: Product doesn't burn easily, can be slippery on hard floors, can create a fall risk
Health Hazards: Not classified as hazardous according to most authorities, contact can lead to temporary discomfort
Environmental Hazards: Low inherent risk to water organisms, very slow breakdown in the environment
Chemical: Polyethylene-polypropylene glycol block copolymer
Purity: Over 99% as the active ingredient
Impurities: Minuscule unreacted glycols, often at levels below standard detection
Eye Exposure: Rinse eyes gently with water for at least several minutes, lift eyelids to flush entire surface
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water, remove any contaminated clothing
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air in the rare event of dust formation, seek care if symptoms persist
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water, watch for delayed effects, usually considered low risk for serious harm
Ongoing Symptoms: Seek medical advice for persistent irritation of skin or eyes
Suitable Extinguishers: Water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam
Possible Hazards: Burning produces carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and possibly irritating smoke
Protective Equipment: Firefighters need self-contained breathing apparatus and gear
Special Notes: Avoid runoff from firefighting entering water drains
Personal Safety: Prevent slips, wear gloves to reduce direct contact, use eye protection if significant amounts spill
Cleanup Methods: Gather up solid material without producing dust, shovel into containers for disposal
Environmental Care: Prevent substance from entering surface water or soil
Ventilation: Ensure good air movement in cleanup area
Handling Tips: Avoid creating dust, keep containers tightly closed, always use clean scoops and transfer tools
Personal Protection: Gloves guard against skin dryness, eye protection helps with accidental splashes
Storage Conditions: Store at room temperature away from moisture, keep containers dry and away from heat sources
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents can react with the polymer
Engineering Controls: Sufficient ventilation in work area cuts down on potential for dust
Eye Protection: Safety goggles shield against accidental splashes
Skin Protection: Nitrile or latex gloves help with occasional skin exposure
Respiratory Protection: Dust mask when handling powder in bulk
Work Hygiene: Always wash hands after use, never eat or drink in work areas
Appearance: White, soft solid or flakes
Odor: None
Melting Range: Usually between 52°C - 57°C
Solubility in Water: Rapid and complete dissolution
Density: Typically around 1.1 g/cm³
Viscosity: Highly viscous at higher concentrations in water
pH: Mostly neutral in water solution
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at room temperature
Chemical Stability: Stable under regular handling, fresh packaging slows down caking
Reactivity: Not reactive with most other materials under ordinary circumstances
Incompatibility: Avoid mixing with strong oxidizers
Decomposition: Can form low amounts of carbon monoxide and other carbon-based gases if overheated
Polymerization: Does not undergo dangerous polymerization
Acute Toxicity: Very low, oral ingestion in animal tests shows minimal harmful effects when used as intended
Chronic Exposure: No widespread reports of long-term issues from occupational handling
Irritation: Mainly mild, limited to skin and eyes for some individuals
Sensitization: No evidence points to allergic reactions from repeated exposure
Aquatic Life: Minimal short-term harm, long-term effects not well studied in natural systems
Soil Impact: Breaks down slowly, low risk of significant soil buildup
Bioaccumulation: Little tendency to gather in animal tissue
Mobility: High due to water solubility, which means it can spread if released
Waste Handling: Collect and put into containers for landfill or incineration with regular industrial waste
Wastewater: Don’t wash large amounts into drains, small quantities dilute easily due to water solubility
Container Disposal: Rinse thoroughly, recycle or dispose of by local requirements
Regulated Status: Not listed as a hazardous material for air, sea, or road under common shipping frameworks
Precautions: Ship in sealed containers to keep out moisture and dirt
Labeling: Clearly mark containers if shipping in bulk to prevent confusion with food or feed materials
Classification: Not labeled as hazardous under European, U.S., or Asian chemical safety laws
Occupational Limits: No specific exposure limits set by international agencies
SDS Status: Must be handled according to published safety guidelines in workplaces
Use in Food or Drug Production: Permitted as an excipient in many countries, but always check for specific product guidelines and local rules
