Hazard Identification

Classifications: Not classified as hazardous under GHS criteria
Signal Word: None assigned
Hazard Statements: May cause mild eye or skin irritation, low acute toxicity on inhalation or ingestion
Pictograms: None required for typical commercial concentrations
Precautionary Statements: Avoid prolonged contact with skin and eyes; avoid breathing dust; use recommended protective measures
Most Important Hazards: Some dust generation during handling; risk for sensitive individuals in case of skin contact or inhalation

Composition / Information on Ingredients

Chemical Identity: Calcium Lactate
Concentration: 98-100%
Impurities: Minor traces of residual lactic acid and water
Other Components: No mixtures or complex blends reported in standard grades

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move to fresh air immediately; if breathing difficulty develops, seek medical attention without delay
Skin Contact: Wash affected area thoroughly with water and mild soap if irritation appears
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes cautiously with clean, lukewarm water for several minutes; remove contact lenses if easily possible; medical assistance if irritation persists
Ingestion: Rinse mouth; do not induce vomiting; provide water to drink; medical review recommended for large exposures
Most Important Symptoms: Potential mild irritation of eyes, skin or respiratory tract
Advice to Physicians: Symptomatic care as required; product exhibits low acute toxicity in healthy individuals

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, or foam
Unsuitable Media: Strong water jets might scatter material dust
Special Hazards: May decompose under intense fire to produce calcium oxide along with carbon oxides
Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear recommended for large fires
Advice for Firefighters: Cool containers exposed to intense heat with water spray; evacuate personnel if necessary

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Use suitable gloves, protective goggles, and dust mask to avoid contact or breathing dust
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spills from entering watercourses or drains; cleanup required if spill occurs outdoors
Methods for Cleaning Up: Sweep up spilled material gently; avoid creating dust; contain residues using damp cloth or appropriate vacuum
Waste Disposal: Transfer spilled material to labeled containers for safe disposal

Handling and Storage

Safe Handling: Operate in well-ventilated areas; utilize dust extraction when pouring or blending; avoid eating or drinking on site
Storage Conditions: Store sealed in original container in a cool, dry place; protect from moisture and incompatible substances
Packaging Materials: Keep material in food-safe, corrosion-resistant containers
Incompatibilities: Strong acids or oxidizing agents can trigger unwanted reactions or decomposition
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after handling

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits established specifically for calcium lactate
Engineering Controls: Good local ventilation or fume extraction to reduce dust buildup
Respiratory Protection: Use dust mask or N95 respirator during large scale transfers
Eye Protection: Safety goggles or face shields to prevent accidental splashes or dust exposure
Hand Protection: Protective gloves recommended for frequent handling
Body Protection: Standard work clothing; change out of contaminated clothing promptly

Physical and Chemical Properties

Respiratory Sensitization: Some sensitivity possible in vulnerable populations with prolonged exposure to dust
Carcinogenicity: No components classified as carcinogens by IARC, NTP, OSHA
Mutagenicity / Reproductive Toxicity: No evidence from animal or epidemiological studies showing harm
Long-Term Exposure: No cumulative toxicity in available human or animal data

Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: No acute hazards reported for fish or aquatic invertebrates
Persistence and Degradability: Breaks down into lactic acid and calcium ions, readily biodegradable
Bioaccumulation: Does not bioaccumulate in aquatic or terrestrial food chains
Mobility in Soil: Readily dissolved and dispersed in moist environments
Other Adverse Effects: Low risk to ecosystems at environmentally relevant concentrations
