Composition / Information on Ingredients

Chemical Name: Calcium Bis(5-Oxo-L-Prolinate) CAS Number: 123456-78-9 EC Number: 000-000-0 Ingredient Percent: 98-100% Impurities & Stabilizers: None reported in typical analytical purity

First Aid Measures

Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present, seek medical attention if discomfort persists Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, consult medical advice for signs of irritation Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, keep comfortable for breathing, obtain medical help if symptoms develop Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, seek immediate medical attention Most Important Symptoms: Redness, irritation, coughing possible after contact or inhalation

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, water spray Unsuitable Media: High pressure water jets may spread material Specific Hazards: Thermal decomposition releases carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, calcium oxides Firefighting Instructions: Approach fire from upwind, wear full protective gear and self-contained breathing apparatus Protective Equipment: Chemical resistant suit, gloves, and eye protection Combustion Products: No unusual reactivity with fire; normal precautions for organic compounds needed

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear dust mask, gloves, and goggles, minimize dust formation Environmental Precautions: Prevent release to drains, sewers, or waterways Cleanup Methods: Sweep up without creating dust, collect in sealable containers for proper disposal, ventilate spill area Decontamination: Wash affected surface with water and detergents after removal of solid

Handling and Storage

Safe Handling: Handle in adequate ventilation, avoid breathing dust and direct contact with eyes or skin, do not eat or smoke during work Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed container, away from moisture and direct sunlight, recommended temperature below 25°C Compatibility: Keep separated from strong acids and bases, no strong oxidizers nearby Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before breaks and after handling; remove contaminated clothing promptly

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits available Engineering Controls: Work in fume hood or with local ventilation, use closed handling systems where possible Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Safety glasses with side shields, gloves made of chemical-resistant material, lab coat, dust mask for powder handling Respiratory Protection: Use approved respirator fitted for nuisance dust if expected exposure exceeds minimal amounts Environmental Exposure: Avoid uncontrolled releases to the environment

Physical and Chemical Properties

Physical State: White to off-white crystalline powder Odor: Odorless or faint characteristic odor pH (1% solution): Near neutral, typically 6.0 to 8.0 Melting Point/Freezing Point: Decomposes > 200°C without precise melting Boiling Point: Not applicable (decomposes before boiling) Solubility: Soluble in water, slight solubility in alcohols Vapor Pressure: Negligible at ambient conditions Density: Approx. 1.2 - 1.4 g/cm³ Explosive Properties: Not considered explosive Oxidizing Properties: Not classified as oxidizing

Stability and Reactivity

Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions, sensitive to high temperature and moisture Reactivity: Not highly reactive; normal organic reactivity expected Hazardous Reactions: Reacts with strong acids or bases to release gases, exothermic with strong oxidizers Incompatible Materials: Avoid strong mineral acids, strong alkaline materials, oxidizers Hazardous Decomposition: Decomposes to emit calcium oxides, carbon monoxide/dioxide, nitrogen oxides

Toxicological Information

Likely Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin contact, eye contact, ingestion Acute Toxicity: Data scarce; not suspected toxic at exposures common to lab and industrial processes Skin Corrosion/Irritation: May cause redness or dryness after prolonged exposure Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Risk of conjunctival irritation on direct contact Respiratory Sensitization: Occasional coughing with excessive dust inhalation Carcinogenicity: No data pointing to carcinogenic risk, not classified by IARC/OSHA/ACGIH/NTP Chronic Effects: No known chronic toxicity in humans at normal exposure levels

Ecological Information

Aquatic Toxicity: No thorough studies; low solubility reduces risk, avoid uncontrolled discharges Persistence and Degradability: Expected to degrade in soil and water, not persistent in the environment Bioaccumulation Potential: Low Mobility in Soil: Moderately mobile, but limited by ion exchange in soils Other Adverse Effects: No additional environmental hazards reported

Disposal Considerations

Disposal Methods: Dispose according to local, regional, and national regulations, treat unused material as hazardous waste even though risk is moderate, avoid dumping into drains or water bodies Contaminated Packaging: Rinse and treat as chemical waste, offer clean containers for recycling where possible Special Precautions: Personnel handling waste should wear proper PPE, consult environmental authority for large scale disposal

Transport Information

UN Number: Not regulated as hazardous for transport under most systems Shipping Name: Calcium compound, not otherwise specified Transport Hazard Class: Not classified Packing Group: Not assigned Environmental Hazards: Not environmentally hazardous for ground, air, or marine shipment Special Transport Precautions: Keep well closed; protect from physical damage and moisture, ensure containers carry safety labelling

Regulatory Information

Safety, Health, Environmental Regulations: Subject to general obligations for chemical safety under OSHA, EU REACH, EPA, and local safety laws Labelling Requirements: GHS compliant label necessary for workplace; includes pictograms and hazard wording Inventory Status: Not listed as toxic or controlled, verify inclusion in applicable national chemical inventories for import/export purposes Other Regulations: Review country-specific lists for substances of concern, hazard communication standards apply to handling and use
