International Chemical Safety Cards COPPER 8-QUINOLATE ICSC: 0756 COPPER 8-QUINOLATE Copper-8-hydroxyquinoline Oxine-copper 8-Quinolinol, copper(II) chelate Bis(8-oxyquinoline) copper C18H12CuN2O2 Molecular mass: 351.9 CAS # 10380-28-6 RTECS # VC5250000 ICSC # 0756 TYPES OF HAZARD/ EXPOSURE ACUTE HAZARDS/ SYMPTOMS PREVENTION FIRST AID/ FIRE FIGHTING FIRE Liquid formulations containing organic solvents may be flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire in the surroundings: all extinguishing agents allowed. EXPLOSION EXPOSURE PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! INHALATION (see Ingestion). Local exhaust or breathing protection. Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration if indicated. Refer for medical attention. SKIN Protective gloves. Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. EYES Safety goggles. First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor. INGESTION Abdominal pain. Diarrhoea. Laboured breathing. Vomiting. Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating. Rinse mouth. Rest. Refer for medical attention. SPILLAGE DISPOSAL STORAGE PACKAGING & LABELLING Do NOT wash away into sewer. Sweep spilled substance into sealable containers; if appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder, then remove to safe place.

International Chemical Safety Cards COPPER 8-QUINOLATE ICSC: 0756 I M P O R T A N T D A T A PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: GREEN TO YELLOW CRYSTALLINE POWDER. PHYSICAL DANGERS: CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on burning producing toxic and corrosive fumes including copper and nitrogen oxides. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs): TLV not established. ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: Evaporation at 20░C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: Inhalation of its aerosol may cause asthmatic reactions (see Notes). EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: Repeated or prolonged inhalation exposure may cause asthma. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Decomposes below melting point at 270░C Relative density (water = 1): 1.63 Solubility in water: none Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 2.46 ENVIRONMENTAL DATA The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. Avoid release to the environment in circumstances different to normal use. N O T E S The symptoms of asthma often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential. Anyone who has shown symptoms of asthma due to this substance should avoid all further contact with this substance. Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties. Bioquin, Cunilate, Dokirin, Fruitdo and Quinondo are trade names.
