    Gallic Acid: 1. Chemical Product and Company Identification

    Uploaded by

    Bhuvana Sundar Bagavathi
    Gallic acid is a fine white or pale yellow crystalline powder that is slightly soluble in water. It may cause mild irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract upon contact. In the event of a spill, the area should be ventilated and cleaned up using proper protective equipment. Gallic acid is generally stable but can decompose to release carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide when heated. It does not pose significant health or environmental risks according to available data.

    Inhalation: May cause irritation to respiratory tract resulting in coughing and sneezing. Ingestion: Low systemic toxicity. Large amounts may cause some gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea or diarrhea. Skin Contact: May cause irritation to the skin with redness or minor inflammation on moist skin. Eye Contact: May cause eye irritation due to possible temporary abrasiveness. Can cause redness, tearing and possibly some pain. Chronic Exposure: No information found. Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No adverse health effects expected.

    4. First Aid Measures


    Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention for any breathing difficulty. Ingestion: Give several glasses of water to drink to dilute. If large amounts were swallowed, get medical advice. Skin Contact: Wash exposed area with soap and water. Get medical advice if irritation develops. Eye Contact: Wash eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.

    5. Fire Fighting Measures


    Fire: As with most organic solids, fire is possible at elevated temperatures or by contact with an ignition source. Explosion: Not considered to be an explosion hazard. Fire Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide. Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved selfcontained breathing apparatus with full-facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.

    6. Accidental Release Measures


    Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Sweep up and containerize for reclamation or disposal. Vacuuming or wet sweeping may be used to avoid dust dispersal.

    7. Handling and Storage


    Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Protect from light. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.

    8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection


    Airborne Exposure Limits: None established. 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. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details. Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): For conditions of use where exposure to the dust or mist is apparent, a half-face dust/mist respirator may be worn. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Airpurifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres. Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.

    9. Physical and Chemical Properties
