Calamus Oil Extra Pure is a high-purity essential oil extracted from the roots of Acorus calamus, valued in laboratory research for its complex composition of aromatic compounds, including asarone and other volatile constituents. In scientific studies, it is often used for phytochemical analysis, antimicrobial testing, and natural product chemistry. Researchers explore its potential bioactive properties, such as antioxidant, neuroprotective, and insecticidal effects. The extra pure grade ensures high consistency, low residue, and minimal contamination, making it suitable for analytical applications. It should be stored in amber glass containers, away from light and heat, to preserve its stability and aromatic integrity.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
- Use nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat.
- Work in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood to avoid inhaling vapors.
Handling:
- Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
- Do not breathe vapors or mists.
- Handle with care as the oil may contain β-asarone, a potentially carcinogenic compound.
Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
- Keep container tightly closed and protected from light and heat.
- Store away from strong oxidizing agents.
Incompatibilities:
- Strong oxidizers, acids, and alkalis.

FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation:
- Remove to fresh air.
- Get medical attention if symptoms like coughing, dizziness, or respiratory discomfort occur.
Skin Contact:
- Immediately wash with soap and water.
- Remove contaminated clothing.
- Seek medical advice if irritation or allergic reaction develops.
Eye Contact:
- Rinse cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes.
- Seek medical attention.
Ingestion:
- Do NOT induce vomiting.
- Rinse mouth.
- Call a poison center or physician immediately.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flammability:
- Flammable liquid and vapor.
Extinguishing Media:
- Use foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide (CO₂).
- Do not use water jets, as they may spread the fire.
Hazardous Combustion Products:
- Carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO₂), acrid fumes.
Firefighting Instructions:
- Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
- Cool containers with water spray to prevent pressure build-up and explosion risk.
