Physical Hazards: May form combustible dust concentrations in air

Composition / Information on Ingredients

Chemical: D-Fructose
Concentration: Greater than 99%
Impurities/Other Components: Water (<1%), trace minerals
Product Type: Substance
Common Additives: No added preservatives or coloring agents in pure form

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, provide rest and warmth, consult a doctor in case of persistent symptoms
Skin Contact: Wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water; remove contaminated clothing
Eye Contact: Rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, hold eyelids apart to ensure thorough rinsing; seek medical attention if irritation persists
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water; drink plenty of water to dilute, do not induce vomiting; consult a healthcare provider if large quantities are swallowed or symptoms occur

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, CO2
Specific Hazards: Dust may form explosive mixtures with air; sugar dust explosions are possible in closed spaces
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing
Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
Unusual Fire Hazards: Strong heat can create flammable decomposition gases

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Avoid dust formation, provide adequate ventilation, wear appropriate personal protective equipment
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into sewers and watercourses
Methods for Clean-Up: Sweep up and collect for disposal without generating dust; use hydrophobic vacuum equipment if available
Handling Spills: Dampen spilled material to avoid dust, transfer to container for disposal following regulations

Handling and Storage

Handling: Minimize dust generation and accumulation, provide local exhaust ventilation, wash hands thoroughly after handling, avoid contact with eyes
Safe Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area, keep containers tightly closed, protect from moisture and intense heat
Storage Incompatibilities: Keep away from strong oxidizers, acids, bases
Special Storage Instructions: Use only food-grade containers for edible use, ensure containers are clearly labeled

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No OSHA PEL or ACGIH TLV for fructose dust
Engineering Controls: Use dust extraction systems or process enclosures, provide eyewash stations and safety showers
Personal Protective Equipment: Eye/face protection such as safety goggles, gloves for prolonged exposure, dust mask or respirator in poorly ventilated areas
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before eating or drinking, change contaminated clothing, ensure workplace cleanliness
