Inhalation: Move exposed person to fresh air. Rinse nose and mouth if irritation occurs. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
Skin Contact: Wash with plenty of soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Moisturize skin if dryness develops.
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes thoroughly with clean running water for several minutes. Lift eyelids to ensure thorough rinsing. Seek medical attention if discomfort remains.
Ingestion: Not considered hazardous if swallowed in typical amounts. If large amount consumed and discomfort results, seek medical advice.
Most Important Symptoms: Mild irritation to respiratory system, skin, or eyes in sensitive individuals
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically. Targeted intervention not typically required.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. Use method appropriate for surrounding fire.
Unsuitable Media: None known for product; avoid direct water jet if dusty.
Specific Hazards: Fine dust in air at high concentrations may create explosive conditions.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon oxides (CO, CO2)
Special Protective Equipment: Standard firefighter gear, self-contained breathing apparatus in large fires
Fire-Fighting Procedures: Fight fire from upwind position. Prevent runoff from fire control entering sewers or waterways. Move product away from fire if it can be done safely.
Personal Precautions: Wear appropriate dust mask and safety goggles. Minimize airborne dust formation. Avoid unnecessary contact.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry of spillage into drains and surface water, especially in large quantities.
Clean-Up Methods: Sweep up and place in a suitable, labeled container. Shovel material into closed container for reuse or disposal. Vacuum up remaining dust with equipment fitted with HEPA filter. Wash spill area with water if needed.
Reference to Other Sections: For personal protective equipment see Section 8; for disposal see Section 13.
Precautions for Safe Handling: Handle product in well-ventilated areas. Avoid generating and breathing dust. Use equipment and procedures that minimize dust formation. Maintain good housekeeping. Keep containers tightly sealed.
Conditions for Safe Storage: Store in dry, cool, well-ventilated location. Keep container closed when not in use. Avoid temperature extremes and sources of ignition. Separate from strong acids, oxidizers.
Packaging Materials: Use food grade or chemical resistant containers depending on intended end use.
Other Advice: Inspect regularly for spillage or leaks. Product is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture from air, so minimize exposure.
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific exposure limits set for dextrose anhydrous; use general nuisance dust limits (e.g., OSHA PEL: 15 mg/m³ total dust, 5 mg/m³ respirable fraction)
Engineering Controls: Provide adequate ventilation or dust extraction, especially during bulk handling.
Respiratory Protection: Use dust mask or NIOSH-approved respirator if dusting is likely to exceed limits.
Eye Protection: Safety goggles or glasses when handling large quantities or in dusty environment.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves if handling for extended periods or if skin is sensitive.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after use. Do not eat or drink near working area. Change and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Other PPE: Use coveralls if systematic large-scale handling is part of the job.
