Chemical Identity: Bacillus licheniformis
Concentration: 100% freeze-dried culture, spore suspension or mixed with inert carriers by formulation
CAS Number: 93483-13-7
Impurities/Additives: Carriers (e.g., clay, talc, humic substances) might be present, information will be batch-specific
Ingredients with Exposure Limits: Not regulated by OSHA, ACGIH, or NIOSH
Inhalation: Move to fresh air, support breathing if symptoms like coughing or shortness of breath develop; medical attention sought for persistent effects
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water; seek medical advice for irritation
Eye Contact: Rinse with water for at least fifteen minutes; consult healthcare if irritation persists
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, seek medical review if large volumes ingested
Note to Physician: Treat symptomatically; possible allergenic response in sensitive individuals
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, carbon dioxide, dry powder; tailor to surrounding fire
Combustion Hazards: Product is non-flammable but carrier materials could sustain combustion
Decomposition Products: May include oxides of carbon, nitrogenous gases
Fire-Fighter Protection: Use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to limit exposure to smoke or fumes
Special Procedures: Avoid dispersing dust; isolate area and ventilate space
Personal Precautions: Use gloves, goggles, dust mask or respirator to prevent inhalation and skin or eye contact
Environmental Precautions: Avoid runoff into drains or water bodies; contain spills with absorbent materials
Clean-up Methods: Sweep or vacuum spilled products, minimize dust, wash area with water and detergent
Disposal: Collect into suitable containers for appropriate disposal; refer to disposal section for details
Handling: Avoid generating dust, use in well-ventilated area, handle with clean gloves and eye protection; wash hands after use
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed container, cool dry ventilated area, away from food and animal feed
Incompatibilities: Avoid high humidity, direct sunlight or strong acids/bases
Safe Practices: Label storage areas and containers; maintain batch record for tracing
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established limits for Bacillus licheniformis
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation to control dust/aerosol
Personal Protective Equipment: Gloves (nitrile or latex), safety glasses or goggles, dust mask (N95 or higher) for dry formulations, protective clothing if repeated or prolonged contact expected
Hygiene Measures: Do not eat, drink, or smoke during handling; handwashing before breaks and after work
Physical State: Free flowing powder, granular or aqueous suspension
Color: Off-white to tan
Odor: Mild, earthy
pH (10% suspension): Approximately neutral (6.5-7.5)
Solubility: Not soluble; forms suspension in water
Melting / Boiling Point: Not applicable
Flash Point: Non-flammable
Bulk Density: Dependent on formulation; usually 0.4 to 0.8 g/cm³ (for powders)
Stability in Water: Stable as spore for months under cool, dry storage
Partition Coefficient: Not relevant
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal temperatures and pressures
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive humidity, prolonged heating above 40°C, exposure to strong acids or bases
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, strong acids, strong bases
Hazardous Decomposition: Degradation produces non-toxic components; carriers may degrade to release CO₂ or nitrogen
Hazardous Reactions: None known under normal handling and storage
Acute Toxicity: Low toxicity, not infective in healthy individuals; concentrations above occupational exposure limit may trigger allergy or irritation
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation of dust or aerosols, skin or eye contact, accidental ingestion
Chronic Exposure: No reported chronic effects; prolonged contact may cause sensitization in susceptible people
Sensitization Effects: Possible respiratory or dermal sensitizer; caution for asthmatics and persons with impaired immunity
Carcinogenicity / Mutagenicity: Not classified by IARC, NTP, or OSHA
Other Data: No evidence for teratogenic, mutagenic, or reproductive effects
Ecotoxicity: Non-toxic to most aquatic or terrestrial organisms at recommended levels
Persistence: Capable of surviving in soil/water for extended periods as spores, competitive but not considered invasive
Bioaccumulation: No known bioaccumulation potential
Other Environmental Effects: May temporarily suppress or out-compete native non-spore forming microbes in some settings
Environmental Mobility: Limited; attaches to soil particles, stays near site of application
Aquatic Toxicity: No adverse effects seen in standard fish, daphnia, or algae tests
Waste Treatment Methods: Incinerate or landfill in accordance with local regulations for biological agents
Product Waste: Triple rinse containers and render unusable before discarding
