When working with chemical intermediates like 2-Indanone (CAS 615-13-4), understanding and adhering to safety protocols is crucial for protecting personnel and the environment. As a responsible 2-Indanone manufacturer and supplier, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. prioritizes safety in the handling, storage, and use of our products. This overview addresses the safety profile of 2-Indanone for industrial and research applications.

Hazard Classification and Identification

Based on available data and standard classifications, 2-Indanone is typically categorized with certain hazard warnings. Common GHS hazard statements associated with 2-Indanone include:

  • H315: Causes skin irritation - Direct contact with 2-Indanone can lead to redness, itching, or inflammation of the skin.
  • H319: Causes serious eye irritation - Contact with eyes can result in significant irritation, redness, and discomfort.
  • H335: May cause respiratory irritation - Inhalation of dust or vapors may irritate the respiratory tract.

The signal word associated with these hazards is typically 'Warning'. It is essential to consult the specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provided by the manufacturer for the most accurate and up-to-date hazard information and classifications for the particular batch being used.

Safe Handling and Storage Practices

To mitigate the risks associated with 2-Indanone, proper handling and storage procedures must be implemented in all laboratory and industrial settings:

  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear appropriate PPE, including chemical-resistant gloves (e.g., nitrile), safety goggles or a face shield, and protective clothing to prevent skin and eye contact. If handling powders or in situations where dust may be generated, respiratory protection (e.g., a dust mask or respirator) may be necessary.
  • Ventilation: Handle 2-Indanone in a well-ventilated area, preferably under a fume hood, to minimize inhalation exposure.
  • Storage Conditions: Store 2-Indanone in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible materials and direct sunlight. The recommended storage temperature is typically between 2-8°C for long-term storage to maintain product integrity. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.
  • Spill Response: In the event of a spill, contain the material immediately and clean up using appropriate absorbent materials. Avoid generating dust. Dispose of waste materials according to local, state, and federal regulations.

Regulatory Information and SDS

Manufacturers are required to provide a comprehensive SDS for 2-Indanone, detailing its chemical properties, hazards, first-aid measures, fire-fighting measures, accidental release measures, handling and storage, exposure controls/personal protection, and toxicological information. It is imperative that all personnel handling 2-Indanone are familiar with its SDS. Regulations such as TSCA (Toxic Substances Control Act) in the US and REACH in Europe may also apply, and manufacturers should ensure compliance.
