Alpha Ionone

The ionones are a series of closely related chemical substances that are part of a group of compounds known as rose ketones, which also includes damascones and damascenones. Ionones are aroma compounds found in a variety of essential oils, including rose oil. beta-Ionone is a significant contributor to the aroma of roses, despite its relatively low concentration, and is an important fragrance chemical used in perfumery. The ionones are derived from the degradation of carotenoids.

The carotenes alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, gamma-carotene, and the xanthophyll beta-cryptoxanthin, all contain beta-ionone, and thus have vitamin A activity because they can be converted by plant-eating animals to retinol and retinal. Carotenoids that do not contain the beta-ionone moiety cannot be converted to retinol, and thus have no vitamin A activity.

Odor Profile: Woody, Floral, Violet
Olfactory Description: A fine quality of alpha ionone. This is the most floral and most violet-like of all the ionones.
Visual Description: Colorless to pale yellow liquid

Uses: Alpha Ionone is used in Acid Cleaner Liquid, Detergent TAED, Alcoholic Lotion, Fabric Softener, Anti Perspirant, Foam Bath, Bleach, Hard Surface Cleaner, Deo Stick, Shampoo, Detergent Perborate, Soap.

3. COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS

Product Name & Other Names: Alpha Ionone or 4-(2,2,6-Trimethyl-2-Cyclohexen-1-Yl)-3-Buten-2-One or a -Cyclocitrylidene acetone.
CAS Number: 127-41-3

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES

Always seek medical attention after first aid measures are provided.

Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for 10 minutes at least. Contact a physician if symptoms persist.
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water; flush with plenty of water. Take off spoilt clothes. Contact physician if symptoms persist.
Ingestion: Wash the mouth with water; seek medical advice immediately.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure site to fresh air and keep at rest. Obtain medical advice.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Extinguishing Media Recommended: CO2, foam, dry chemicals.
Non-Recommended: Do not use direct water jet on burning material.
Extinguishing Procedure: Closed containers may build up pressure at elevated temperatures. If possible, containers should be cooled with a water spray.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. At high temperatures under fire conditions, it may produce toxic or irritating fumes. Fire-extinguishing work is done from the windward and the suitable fire-extinguishing method according to the surrounding situation is used. Uninvolved persons should evacuate to a safe place.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures: Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.). Restrict unprotected personnel from the area. Prevent any contact with hot surfaces. Do not approach facing the wind. Do not touch the spilled material.
Environmental precautions: Do not let the product enter drains, soil, or water sources.
Methods and materials used for containment Cleanup procedures and Storage: Do not inhale dust, vapors, mist, or gas. Avoid dust formation. Contain spilled material. Cover with an inert, non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite). Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate as per law. Avoid open flames or other sources of ignition.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling: Apply according to good manufacturing and industrial hygiene practices. Ensure proper ventilation. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not drink, eat, or smoke while handling. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Minimize dust generation. Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.). Prevent any contact with hot surfaces.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in cool, dry, and ventilated area away from heat sources and protected from sunlight in tightly closed original container. Keep air contact to a minimum. Store protected from heat, sparks and ignition sources and incompatible materials. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of dust/mist/vapor. Do not store with incompatible materials like strong oxidizing agents, acids and bases. Avoid open flames or other sources of ignition.
Fire Protection: Keep away from ignition sources and naked flame.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROL

Exposure Limits: This product does not contain any hazardous materials with occupational exposure limits established by the region-specific regulatory bodies.
Respiratory Protection: Avoid to breath directly on the product. Apply local ventilations when appropriate.
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator may be worn. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Other Control Measures: Maintain good housekeeping in work area. Dust deposits on floors and other surfaces may pick up moisture and cause the surfaces to become slippery and present safety hazards. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands after handling.
