Metanilic Acid CAS 121-47-1

1. Metanilic acid (3-aminobenzenesulfonic acid) is primarily used as an intermediate in the production of azo dyes and pigments.
2. Metanilic acid CAS 121-47-1 serves as a key starting material in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and optical brighteners.
3. This compound is also utilized in research as a building block for sulfonated polymers and other specialty chemicals.

1. Store metanilic acid in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from heat and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
2. Keep Metanilic acid CAS 121-47-1 the container tightly closed and protected from moisture to prevent caking or degradation.
3. Handle with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and safety goggles, to avoid dust inhalation and skin contact.

1. Isolate the spill area and wear suitable protective equipment (gloves, safety glasses, dust mask).
2. Collect Metanilic acid CAS 121-47-1 the spilled solid with a clean, dry tool and place it in a suitable container for disposal.
3. Prevent the material from entering drains or the environment. Clean the area with water and detergent.

1. Metanilic acid may be harmful if swallowed, inhaled as dust, or in contact with skin, and can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract.
2. Metanilic acid CAS 121-47-1 is not highly flammable but may decompose at high temperatures to emit toxic fumes (sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides).
3. Always consult the official metanilic acid Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for comprehensive hazard, handling, and regulatory information.
