Hazard Statements: Product will form combustible dust clouds in air; avoid dust accumulation
Precautionary Statements: Prevent inhalation of dust, keep away from ignition sources, use in well-ventilated spaces
Symptoms of Overexposure: May cause mild skin or respiratory irritation if dust is generated
Other Hazards: No known significant acute or chronic health hazards in normal use
GHS Pictograms: None assigned
Chemical Name: Fish Gelatin
CAS Number: 9000-70-8
Purity: Greater than 90%
Impurities: Minor amounts of water, mineral salts, and processing by-products
Allergenic Components: May cause reactions in individuals allergic to fish proteins
Other Ingredients: None intentionally added; product is considered a single-ingredient material
Inhalation: Move exposed person to fresh air; seek medical attention if respiratory symptoms like coughing persist
Skin Contact: Wash affected skin with soap and water; remove contaminated clothing; seek medical advice if irritation develops
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes thoroughly with water for several minutes, keeping eyelids open; remove contact lenses if present
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water, and seek medical advice only if unusual symptoms occur
Advice to Medical Personnel: No specific antidote available; treat symptomatically
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: High-pressure water streams may spread product
Specific Hazards: Fine dust may form explosive mixtures with air; burning produces carbon oxides and nitrogen oxides
Protection for Firefighters: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus
Special Procedures: Cool exposed containers with water spray to prevent rupture from heat
Personal Precautions: Use proper respiratory protection, minimize dust generation, provide adequate ventilation
Environmental Precautions: Prevent large spills from entering drains or watercourses; product is biodegradable but may contribute to oxygen depletion in water
Cleanup Methods: Sweep up or vacuum spilled material with equipment fitted with HEPA filters; avoid dry sweeping if dust is present
Additional Advice: Place collected material in containers for disposal, wash spill area with water if needed
Handling: Use in areas with good ventilation, minimize dust generation, avoid inhalation of powders or contact with eyes
Safe Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated space away from heat, flame, and incompatible substances
Packaging Materials: Use containers that prevent moisture ingress, reseal packages tightly after use
Specific Practices: Keep away from sources of ignition, handle with clean, dry hands or utensils to avoid contamination
Other Considerations: Store away from strong acids or alkalis, as hydrolysis or denaturation may occur
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific limits set for fish gelatin; for dust, general nuisance dust limits apply (10 mg/m³ total dust, 3 mg/m³ respirable fraction)
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust or general ventilation; process enclosures may help control dust levels
Personal Respiratory Protection: Use dust masks (N95 or equivalent) if high concentrations form in air
Hand Protection: Wear protective gloves made from material resistant to biological substances
Eye Protection: Safety glasses or goggles recommended in powder handling
Skin and Body Protection: Standard work clothing; launder soiled items before reuse
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after use, do not eat or drink in processing areas
Appearance: Light yellow to pale brown granules or powder
Odor: Mild, characteristic
Odor Threshold: Not determined
pH: 5.0 – 7.5 (1% solution)
Melting Point: Gelatin does not exhibit a true melting point; softens at elevated temperature
Boiling Point: Not applicable (decomposes before boiling)
Flash Point: Not applicable
Flammability: Dust may be combustible in air
Vapor Pressure: Not applicable
Solubility in Water: Soluble in warm water
Relative Density: 1.3 – 1.4 (water = 1)
Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water): Not determined
Auto-ignition Temperature: Above 400°C
Explosive Properties: Dust may form explosive mixtures with air
Viscosity: Not determined; aqueous solutions form viscous gels at low temperature
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended conditions of storage and use
Conditions to Avoid: Exposure to moisture, excessive heat, sources of ignition, strong acids or alkalis
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, concentrated acids, bases
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Combustion generates carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxides of nitrogen
Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: Dust-air mixtures may explode; product may hydrolyze or degrade under harsh conditions
Acute Toxicity: LD50 (oral, rat) > 5,000 mg/kg (practically non-toxic)
Potential Health Effects (Short-Term): Inhalation of dust may irritate nose and throat; skin contact may result in mild, transient irritation; eye contact may cause redness or discomfort
Long-Term Exposure: No evidence of sensitization or carcinogenicity in animal studies; no chronic health hazards expected from normal use
Allergic Reactions: Individuals sensitive to fish proteins may develop allergic reactions after ingestion or skin contact
Ingestion Toxicity: Widely used as a food ingredient; no adverse effects expected in amounts customary for food or capsules
Mutagenicity/Carcinogenicity: No mutagenic or carcinogenic effects reported
Ecotoxicity: Product is biodegradable and does not accumulate in the environment; high loads may deplete oxygen in water and harm aquatic life
Aquatic Toxicity: Unlikely to be toxic to aquatic organisms at environmentally relevant concentrations
Persistence and Degradability: Readily biodegradable in water and soil
Bioaccumulation Potential: Does not bioaccumulate
Mobility in Soil: Low; binds to soil organic matter
Other Adverse Effects: No significant effects noted on wildlife or vegetation
Waste Disposal Methods: Dispose of surplus or contaminated material as non-hazardous organic waste through approved facility
Packaging Disposal: Recycle or dispose of empty containers in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations
Special Precautions: Prevent dust generation during disposal; do not flush large quantities into surface water or sewage
Product Characteristics: Fully biodegradable, minimal risk to landfill environments, best disposed with food or organic waste streams
