Copper Power SDS

[RobberyinCSharp1824]

Does anyone have or can find a Copper Power SDS? I am unable to find one on the mfg'er's website; I've only found info on Copper(II) Sulfate from other websites such as Fisher, which I assume are quite different since most of theirs are reagent grade. TIA.

What are you trying to determine from it?

Primarily health effects but additional PPE would help. I always use gloves when I am working with my tank treated with copper, but I realize that when I do things like feed my fish and thaw out food with tank water, I'm not. I'm trying to get a baseline for how paranoid and cautious I need to be.

Edit: likewise, when doing water changes or draining the tank, I have had some water droplets splash on me. I have no idea if me rinsing profusely like a maniac is overkill

Copper is not particularly toxic to humans, unless swallowed. Copper is an essential trace element in humans and you would need to ingest about a gram to observe overt toxicity (we consume 10-100 mg each day from our diet). An entire 4 oz bottle of Copper Power contains less than 1 gram of copper (II).
