Impurities/Additives: May contain inert carriers such as maltodextrin (1-10%), moisture (<12%)
Inhalation: Move to fresh air; seek attention if symptoms like coughing persist
Skin contact: Rinse exposed skin with water and mild soap; discontinue use if irritation appears
Eye contact: Rinse eyes thoroughly with water for several minutes; remove contact lenses if present
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water; seek medical care for discomfort, especially in large amounts
Suitable extinguishing media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide
Special hazards: Pigment combustion forms carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds
Protective equipment: Firefighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective gear
Specific methods: Remove undamaged containers from fire area if safe to do so
Combustibility: Pigment in bulk powder may pose dust explosion risk if airborne and ignited
Personal precautions: Wear gloves and safety goggles to prevent contact with eyes and skin
Environmental precautions: Prevent bulk pigment from washing into drains or natural waterways
Cleanup methods: Use vacuum or wet-sweeping to collect spilled powder; avoid generating airborne dust
Disposal: Place material in designated waste container for appropriate disposal
Handling practices: Handle with clean, dry tools in ventilated place to reduce dust
Hygienic practices: Wash hands after use; avoid eating, drinking or smoking during handling
Storage requirements: Store in original, sealed container, in cool, dry location away from direct sunlight
Incompatibles: Strong acids, oxidizing agents may degrade pigment and alter color
Exposure limits: No known exposure limits for naturally-derived pigment under OSHA, ACGIH, NIOSH or EU standards
Respiratory protection: NIOSH-approved dust mask recommended during extended use of pigment powder
Skin protection: Gloves recommended for sensitive users or long-term exposure
Eye protection: Safety or splash goggles if splashes or airborne dust likely
General ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation to reduce airborne pigment in working areas
Appearance: Fine green powder
Odor: Mild, earthy

Chemical stability: Stable under normal storage and handling conditions
Reactivity: Unlikely to react with most substances used in intended applications
Conditions to avoid: Elevated humidity, strong heat, direct sunlight, contact with strong acids or oxidants
Decomposition products: Thermal decomposition forms common combustion byproducts—CO2, CO, and volatile organics
Acute toxicity: No evidence of acute toxicity in rat/mouse studies at practical exposure levels
Skin irritation: May cause mild temporary irritation, particularly for those with sensitivities
Eye irritation: Short-term exposure may cause transient discomfort
Chronic effects: Long-term use in food and topical products considered safe; no evidence of carcinogenic, mutagenic, or reproductive adverse effects in available studies
Environmental fate: Naturally biodegradable, breaks down under typical environmental conditions
Aquatic toxicity: No notable toxicity to aquatic life, avoid direct discharge of concentrated pigment to waterways
Persistence and degradability: Pigment degrades into natural components over time
Bioaccumulation: Not bioaccumulative
Mobility in soil: Limited mobility, binds to soil particles
Waste methods: Dispose of pigment as non-hazardous waste in accordance with local regulations
Container disposal: Empty containers should be rinsed thoroughly and recycled or disposed of as regular waste
Do not incinerate bulk pigment or containers containing residues, as this may release undesirable gases
UN number: Not regulated as dangerous goods
