As a dedicated manufacturer and supplier, Ningbo Inno Pharmchem Co., Ltd. prioritizes providing comprehensive safety information to ensure the well-being of our clients and the proper use of our products.

Hazard Identification and Precautions
According to available safety data, 3'-Chloro-2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone may be harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through the skin. It can also cause skin and eye irritation. Standard laboratory practices and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) are essential when handling this compound. Always ensure you are working in a well-ventilated area, preferably a fume hood.

Essential PPE includes:

  • Chemical-resistant gloves: Nitrile or neoprene gloves are typically recommended.
  • Safety goggles or face shield: To protect the eyes from splashes or vapors.
  • Laboratory coat: To protect clothing and skin.
  • Respiratory protection: If working outside a fume hood or in situations where vapor concentration may be high, an approved respirator should be used.

First Aid Measures
In case of exposure, immediate action is critical:

  • Skin Contact: Immediately wash affected areas with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
  • Eye Contact: Rinse eyes thoroughly with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, ensuring eyelids are held open. Seek immediate medical attention.
  • Inhalation: Move the exposed person to fresh air. If breathing is difficult or symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
  • Ingestion: Rinse the mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel. Seek immediate medical attention.

Fire Fighting and Accidental Release
In the event of a fire, use appropriate extinguishing media such as dry powder, carbon dioxide, or foam. Water spray may be used to cool containers. For accidental spills, contain the material and absorb it with an inert material like sand or vermiculite. Sweep up the absorbed material and place it in a closed container for proper disposal. Avoid letting the material enter drains or watercourses.
