Peregal O-50/100 is a low-toxicity, non-irritating nonionic surfactant with overall high safety, but standard chemical handling procedures must still be followed in terms of operation, storage, and personal protection to ensure personnel safety and product stability.

Hazard Overview

According to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS), Peregal O-50/100 does not fall under physical hazard categories. Regarding health hazards, acute oral toxicity is low (LD50 > 2000 mg/kg, rat), with no skin corrosion/irritation (only prolonged or high-concentration exposure may cause mild irritation), no serious eye damage/irritation (may cause slight discomfort), and no respiratory or skin sensitization. For environmental hazards, toxicity to aquatic organisms is low (EC50/LC50 > 100 mg/L), and it does not belong to the acute aquatic toxicity category. The product itself is not flammable, but may decompose at high temperatures to produce irritating fumes.

Safe Handling Precautions

Operations should be carried out in a well-ventilated area to avoid generation and inhalation of aerosols or dust. Avoid contact with eyes and skin; thoroughly wash exposed areas after handling. If dust may be generated during operation, use explosion-proof electrical equipment suitable for dust explosion environments. Operating temperatures should not be too high to prevent thermal decomposition. Keep containers tightly closed and away from strong oxidizing agents. Empty containers may retain product residues; maintain hazard labels and do not use for storing food or feed. General industrial hygiene practices should be followed in the workplace; eating and smoking are prohibited.

Storage Conditions

Store the product in a cool, dry, well-ventilated dedicated warehouse. Keep containers tightly closed and avoid high temperature and humid environments. Storage temperature should not exceed 40°C; avoid direct sunlight. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, strong bases and other incompatible materials, as well as from food, beverages and animal feed storage areas. Regularly inspect packaging integrity to prevent leakage.

Personal Protection Recommendations

Protection AreaProtective Measures
Respiratory systemGenerally no special protection required; if high concentrations of aerosol or dust are generated, wear a particulate filter mask (e.g., FFP2/N95)
HandsWear chemical protective gloves (nitrile rubber or neoprene gloves recommended); wash hands thoroughly after contact
EyesWear chemical safety goggles or face shield to prevent splashes
Skin and bodyWear standard work clothing; if heavy splashing may occur, wear impermeable apron or protective suit

Emergency Measures

Inhalation: Move the person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing; if symptoms persist, seek medical attention.

Skin contact: Immediately remove contaminated clothing and wash skin with plenty of water and soap for at least 15 minutes; if irritation or rash occurs, seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

Eye contact: Immediately rinse with plenty of water or saline solution for at least 15 minutes with eyelids open; if pain, tearing, or redness persists, seek immediate ophthalmologist treatment.

Ingestion: Rinse mouth; do not induce vomiting. Immediately drink 1-2 glasses of water to dilute. If discomfort occurs, seek medical attention and present the product safety data sheet. May cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort or diarrhea; no known serious acute toxic effects.

Spill handling: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment; prevent spill from entering sewers, surface water, or groundwater. Contain and collect using inert absorbent materials (e.g., sand, vermiculite) and place in a tightly closed container for disposal. Small spills can be flushed with plenty of water, but ensure no water contamination; finally dispose as chemical waste according to local regulations.

Firefighting Measures

Suitable extinguishing media include water fog, alcohol-resistant foam, dry powder, or carbon dioxide; avoid direct water stream to prevent splashing and spreading. Firefighters must wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Hazardous combustion products include carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and possibly irritating or toxic fumes; take protective measures during firefighting.

Notes

  • Although the product has low toxicity and weak irritation, avoid prolonged or high-concentration direct skin contact.
  • Peregal O-50 is dispersible in cold water; when preparing solutions, it is recommended to dissolve in hot water at 40–60°C; Peregal O-100 can be dispersed and dissolved in water at room temperature.
  • The product has excellent biodegradability, but should not be discharged arbitrarily; waste disposal must follow local environmental regulations.
  • Before use, it is recommended to consult the full Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and conduct job-specific safety training.
