Emergency Number: 24-hour response phone provided for accidents or spills.
CAS Number: 9004-54-0
GHS Classification: Not classified as hazardous according to current regulations.
Label Elements: No pictogram, signal word, or hazard statement required.
Health Hazards: Dust may trigger irritation in people sensitive to inhalable particles.
Environmental Hazards: Not considered harmful for aquatic or soil environments.
Precautionary Statements: Avoid breathing dust, maintain good industrial hygiene, use adequate ventilation.
Chemical Identity: Beta-1,3/1,4-D-glucan
Purity: Over 70% beta-glucan dry basis, balance includes trace protein and oligosaccharides
Impurities: Approximately 5-10% moisture, negligible fat, wheat or gluten-free based on source documentation
Allergen Information: Does not contain soy, dairy, or nuts; cross-contact with gluten minimal if sourced from pure oats.
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, seek help if coughing or breathing issues continue.
Skin Contact: Wash affected area with water, take off contaminated clothing.
Eye Contact: Rinse with water for at least 10 minutes; remove contact lenses and consult a physician if irritation persists.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth if large amount ingested. No known acute toxicity but seek medical attention if ill effects appear.
Most Important Symptoms: Eye, skin, or respiratory irritation can happen if exposed to concentrated dust in unventilated environments.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry powder, carbon dioxide, or foam.
Unsuitable Media: High-pressure water jets may raise dust into air, making visibility and breathing tougher.
Unusual Fire Hazards: Fine dust dispersed in air may create a risk of combustion under extreme conditions.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus, chemical-resistant clothing.
Special Procedures: Remove containers from area if safe, cool non-burning surfaces with water spray.
Personal Precautions: Avoid dust generation, ventilate area.
Protective Gear: Wear dust mask or respirator, goggles, gloves if exposure likely.
Environmental Precautions: Do not let large amounts flow into drains; sweep up to avoid slips.
Clean-Up Methods: Sweep or vacuum spilled material, collect in sealable container for reuse or disposal.
Emergency Procedures: Restrict access to affected area until clean.
Precautions for Safe Handling: Avoid creating and inhaling airborne dust; keep containers closed when not in use.
Advice on Safe Storage: Store in dry, cool and well-ventilated place; keep away from humidity and strong odors. Prevent pest access.
Specific Requirements: Use stainless steel or food-grade plastic for extended contact; avoid direct sunlight and moisture.
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, alkalis, and oxidizers could alter structure or hygiene.
Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limit for beta-glucan set by OSHA, ACGIH, or NIOSH when produced from oats. Standard workplace dust limits apply.
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation or dust extraction especially at bulk transfer points.
Personal Protection: Wear dust mask (N95 or P2), goggles or safety glasses during mixing or packaging.
Hand Protection: Gloves recommended for sensitive individuals.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after handling, keep eating areas separate from storage/processing areas.

Incompatible Materials: Avoid strong oxidizing agents, acids, and bases
Hazardous Decomposition Products: May release carbon oxides and particulate matter if burned
Hazardous Reactions: None reported under normal handling
Acute Toxicity: Practically non-toxic; large oral doses may cause digestive discomfort
Skin Irritation: Unlikely; prolonged contact with powder may trigger dryness or irritation in sensitive persons
Eye Irritation: Mild, mostly mechanical if powder gets in eyes
Respiratory Sensitization: Inhalation of fine powder could cause coughing or irritation, especially in individuals with a tendency for allergies.
Carcinogenicity: No components listed as carcinogenic.
Chronic Effects: No established links to chronic health effects.
Ecotoxicity: Biodegradable; low risk to aquatic life from accidental release
Persistence and Degradability: Rapidly broken down by soil and water microbes
Bioaccumulation: Not expected based on physical and chemical characteristics
Mobility in Soil: Disperses with water, becomes part of soil organic matter
Other Adverse Effects: None known over regular usage; large-scale spills may temporarily increase oxygen demand if discharged in quantity
Methods of Disposal: Compost as organic waste or dispose at licensed site; avoid releasing into wastewater in high concentrations
Container Handling: Recycle packaging when possible or treat as non-hazardous waste
Precautions for Disposal: Shovel residual powder to compost or landfill; prevent large amounts from entering drains to avoid clogging
