Chemical Name: Betaine Hydrochloride
Purity: 97-100% depending on supplier
Impurities: Typically less than 1%, traces of residual solvents and moisture possible
Hazardous Components: None known; no significant toxic byproducts reported
Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air, keep warm and at rest, oxygen support if breathing becomes difficult, seek medical attention for prolonged discomfort
Skin Contact: Wash immediately with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, call physician if irritation continues
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with copious amounts of clean water for at least 15 minutes, lift eyelids to ensure thorough rinsing, medical evaluation if pain or redness persists
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, drink plenty of fluids to dilute, seek medical attention if large amounts swallowed or if symptoms develop
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or suitable foam
Specific Hazards: Non-flammable under normal conditions, thermal decomposition may release toxic gases including nitrogen oxides and hydrochloric acid
Firefighting Procedures: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, use protective clothing, prevent run-off from entering drains
Explosion Data: No explosion hazard expected, though fine dust may form combustible mixture in air
Personal Precautions: Wear protective gloves, eyewear, and standard work clothes, avoid inhaling dust
Environmental Precautions: Prevent contamination of soil, sewers, and surface water
Spill Containment: Sweep up or vacuum without generating excessive dust, transfer to secured and labeled container for proper disposal
Cleaning Methods: Clean area with water and detergent after removal, ventilate space well
Handling: Use with adequate ventilation, avoid generating powder and inhaling dust, wash hands before eating or drinking, keep containers tightly closed when not in use
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, ventilated area away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizers, keep out of direct sunlight, tightly seal original packaging to avoid moisture absorption
Incompatible Materials: Reacts with strong oxidizing agents, avoid storing near reactive chemicals
Engineering Controls: Provide local exhaust ventilation or general room ventilation, maintain clean workspaces, utilize closed systems or dust collection for large-scale application
