Hazard Identification

GHS Classification: Not classified as hazardous according to current chemical regulations
Main Health Hazards: Low acute toxicity, ingestion of large quantities may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, inhalation of dust may irritate respiratory tract, contact with skin and eyes may cause mild irritation
Environmental Hazards: Not considered a major environmental hazard in typical usage amounts

Composition / Information on Ingredients

Main Ingredient: Distarch Phosphate - 100%
Impurities: Minor moisture or trace by-products from processing, typically below 1%
Additives: None unless specified by manufacturer for unique formulations

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, seek medical attention if breathing becomes difficult or irritation persists
Skin Contact: Wash affected area with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with plenty of water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present, seek medical advice if irritation continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water to dilute, seek medical help if feeling unwell or large quantity is ingested

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
Special Hazards: Fine dust may form explosive mixtures with air in poorly ventilated areas, fire may produce carbon oxides and phosphorus oxides
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes
Advice on Firefighting: Cool adjacent containers with water spray to prevent overheating, remove from area if safe to do so

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Avoid dust formation, ventilate area, use suitable personal protective equipment
Environmental Precautions: Keep away from drains and surface water, contain spillage to prevent contamination
Methods for Clean-Up: Sweep or vacuum spilled material using non-sparking tools, place in suitable container for disposal, wash affected area with water to reduce dust hazard

Handling and Storage

Handling: Use with adequate ventilation, minimize generation of dust, avoid ignition sources
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames, keep container tightly closed and protected from moisture
Storage Incompatibility: Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, avoid excessive humidity to maintain stability

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: Not established for this product, general particulate limits may apply (e.g., OSHA PEL for Particulates Not Otherwise Regulated: 15 mg/m³ as total dust)
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust or general room ventilation to control airborne dust levels
Personal Protection: Wear protective gloves, safety glasses, and dust respirator if dust generation is likely; wash hands after handling
Hygiene Measures: Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling, clean clothing and exposed skin before breaks and after handling
