Hydroxy Citronellal Hydroxycitronellal

Hydroxycitronellal is a colourless, viscous, oily liquid. Its strong odor is sweet and is reminiscent of Linden or Lime blossom. It occurs naturally in Lime, Lemon, Sweet Orange, Petigrain, Sandalwood, Tangerine and Ylang ylang essential oils.

Hydroxycitronellal (3,7-dimethyl -7 hydroxyoctanal) CAS 107-75-5, EINECS 203-518-7 is low molecular weight (172) substance that is generally a viscous liquid although it congeals at temperatures below 23°C. It has considerable water solubility (23.8 g/l) and low lipophilicity (log Pow: 1.5-2.2). It has a low estimated vapor pressure of 0.76 Pa at 25°C and a low calculated Henry's constant (log H: -2.26).

Hydroxy Citronellal or Hydroxycitronellal is used as an ingredient in fragrances and is found in a wide variety of consumer products. These include cosmetics like soaps, shampoos, detergents, cosmetics and perfumes and household cleaning and maintenance products.

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 Procedures: Closed containers may build up pressure at elevated temperatures. If possible, containers should be cooled with a water spray.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Products of combustion include CO, CO2, and toxic fumes.
Fire & Explosion Hazard: May evolve oxides of carbon (COx) and fumes under fire conditions.
In case of fire, wear a full face positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit. Cool containers to prevent pressure buildup and possible explosion when exposed to extreme heat. Caution ! material will support combustion.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures: Ventilate area of leak or spill. 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: Contain spilled material. Cover with an inert, non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite). Vacuum or sweep-up and remove to an approved disposal container. 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. 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, naked flame, 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, strong acids, alkali, or oxidizing agents. Keep air contact to a minimum. Avoid open flames or other sources of ignition.

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 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.
