potassium 2-chloro-3-(benzyloxy)propionate

potassium 2-chloro-3-(benzyloxy)propionate is corrosive to skin, eyes, or metals. Store in acid-resistant or alkali-resistant cabinets as appropriate. Do not store in metal containers. Secondary containment (drip trays) is required. Segregate from incompatible substances such as strong oxidisers.

potassium 2-chloro-3-(benzyloxy)propionate may cause irritation to skin, eyes, or respiratory tract, or has low-level systemic toxicity. Adequate ventilation must be provided in work areas. Personal protective equipment (gloves, eye protection) is recommended during handling.

potassium 2-chloro-3-(benzyloxy)propionate is classified as a specific target organ toxicant (STOT). Exposure must be minimised using engineering controls (local exhaust ventilation, closed systems). Biological and medical monitoring may be required. Refer to the full Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Section 8 for occupational exposure limits.

This substance carries the signal word DANGER, indicating the more severe hazard categories under GHS/CLP. Facilities handling potassium 2-chloro-3-(benzyloxy)propionate should ensure a written hazard communication programme, including current SDS, employee training records, and GHS-compliant labelling on all containers.
