Caffeic Acid CAS 331-39-5

1. Caffeic Acid CAS 331-39-5 is primarily used as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent in dietary supplements, cosmetics, and skincare products.
2. Caffeic Acid serves as a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of lignin and other plant metabolites in biochemical research.
3. Caffeic Acid is employed as a standard in analytical chemistry and as a natural preservative in food and beverage formulations.

1. Store Caffeic Acid in a tightly sealed, light-resistant container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat and incompatible materials.
2. Keep Caffeic Acid away from strong oxidizing agents and strong bases to prevent degradation or hazardous reactions.
3. Handle Caffeic Acid with care to minimize dust generation and avoid prolonged skin contact and inhalation of dust.

1. Isolate the spill area, ensure ventilation, and wear protective equipment (mask, gloves, goggles) before cleanup.
2. Collect spilled Caffeic Acid with a damp cloth or a vacuum cleaner equipped with a HEPA filter. Place the waste in a sealed container.
3. Dispose of the collected material as chemical waste according to local regulations. Wash the contaminated area with water and detergent. Prevent entry into drains.

1. Caffeic Acid may cause mild skin and eye irritation upon contact. It is generally regarded as safe in food but may be harmful if swallowed in large pure doses.
2. Caffeic Acid dust may cause respiratory tract irritation if inhaled.
3. Wear appropriate protective equipment (gloves, safety glasses, dust mask) when handling. Consult the Safety Data Sheet for specific hazard data.
