2-Aminophenol CAS 95-55-6

1. 2-Aminophenol is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes, pigments, and hair colorants.
2. 2-Aminophenol CAS 95-55-6 serves as a key building block for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and rubber antioxidants.
3. This compound is also utilized in photography as a developing agent and in organic research for heterocycle synthesis.

1. Store 2-aminophenol in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, protected from light, air, and moisture. Store under an inert atmosphere if possible to prevent oxidation.
2. Keep the container tightly closed and separated from strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and acid chlorides/anhydrides.
3. Handle 2-Aminophenol CAS 95-55-6 with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Use a fume hood to avoid inhalation of dust.

1. Isolate the spill area, ensure ventilation, and wear suitable protective equipment (gloves, goggles, protective clothing, dust mask if needed).
2. Carefully collect the spilled solid with a clean, non-sparking tool. Avoid creating dust. Place the contaminated material in a sealed, labeled container for hazardous waste disposal.
3. Prevent 2-Aminophenol CAS 95-55-6 from entering drains, sewers, or the environment. Clean the affected surface thoroughly with water and detergent, collecting washings for proper disposal.

1. 2-Aminophenol is harmful if swallowed, inhaled as dust, or in contact with skin. It causes skin and eye irritation, may cause allergic skin reactions, and can be toxic to blood and organs with repeated exposure.
2. 2-Aminophenol CAS 95-55-6 is combustible and may emit toxic fumes (nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide) when heated to decomposition.
3. Always consult the official 2-aminophenol Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for comprehensive hazard, handling, and regulatory information. Handle as a potential sensitizer and toxic compound.
