Benzoic Acid 65-85-0 100% Yes
Inhalation: May cause irritation to the respiratory tract, (nose and
throat); symptoms may include coughing and sore throat.
Ingestion: Large oral doses may cause abdominal pain, sore throat,
nausea, and vomiting.
Skin Contact: If allowed to remain on skin, may cause irritation with
redness and pain.
Eye Contact: Causes irritation with redness and pain.
Chronic Exposure: No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found.
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: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention
immediately.
Fire: Flash point: 121C (250F) CC
Autoignition temperature: 570C (1058F)
Explosion: Fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and
in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard.
Minimum explosible concentration 0.011 g/l. Vapor may explode if ignited in an
enclosed area. Vapor from molten benzoic acid may form explosive mixture with
air.
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 self-contained breathing apparatus with full
facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8.
Keep in a well closed container stored under cold to warm conditions, 2 to 40 C, (36 to 104F). Protect against physical damage. Isolate from any source of heat or ignition. Isolate from oxidizing materials. Isolate from flammable materials.
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 dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible,
a particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn. If oil
particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, use a
NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels
are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.
WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient
atmospheres.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where
dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and
quick-drench facilities in work area.
Appearance: White, needle-like crystals.
Odor: Faint pleasant odor.

Boiling Point: 249C (480F)
Melting Point: 122C (252F)
Vapor Density (Air=1): 4.2
Vapor Pressure (mm Hg): 1 @ 96C (205F)
Evaporation Rate (BuAc=1): No information found.
Stability: Stable under ordinary conditions of use
and storage.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Emits toxic vapors and gas including
phenol, benzene, and carbon monoxide when heated to decomposition.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
Incompatibilities: Oxidizing agents, bases, and metals. Water solutions
can react with metals to produce hydrogen gas.
Conditions to Avoid: Heat, flame, ignition sources, dusting and
incompatibles.
Oral rat LD50: 1700 mg/kg; LC50 rat > 26,000mg/L/Hr.; irritation skin rabbit: 500 mg/24H mild; eye rabbit: 100 mg severe; investigated as a mutagen.

Environmental Fate: When released into the soil,
this material may leach into groundwater. When released into the soil, this
material is expected to readily biodegrade. When released into the soil, this
material is expected to have a half-life between 1 and 10 days. When released
into water, this material is expected to readily biodegrade. When released into
the water, this material is expected to have a half-life between 1 and 10 days.
When released into water, this material is not expected to evaporate
significantly. This material has a log octanol-water partition coefficient of
less than 3.0. This material may bioaccumulate to some extent. When released
into the air, this material is expected to be moderately removed from the
atmosphere by wet deposition. When released to the air, this material is subject
to removal from the atmosphere by gravitational settling.
Environmental Toxicity: No information found.
