Product Name: Gelatin
Chemical Formula: Protein derived from partial hydrolysis of collagen
Synonyms: Gelatine, Hydrolyzed Collagen
Recommended Use: Food additive, pharmaceuticals, photography, cosmetics, technical applications
Manufacturer: Listed by supplier, consult packaging
Contact Information: Supplier emergency phone number, company address, email contact
CAS Number: 9000-70-8
EC Number: 232-554-6
Physical State: Solid, granular or powder
Color: Off-white to pale yellow
GHS Classification: Not classified as hazardous under GHS regulations
Main Hazards: Dust may cause slight eye or respiratory irritation; spill risk creates slippery surface
Acute Effects: Inhalation may cause coughing or sneezing; skin contact rarely causes irritation in healthy persons
Chronic Effects: Frequent dust inhalation might worsen asthma symptoms
Label Elements: Not required under regular use, but dust signage advised
Ingredient: Gelatin from animal collagen (pork or bovine origins typically)
Purity: 95-100% (trace minerals and water may remain)
Additives: None in pure form, confirm with the manufacturer if flavorings, preservatives, or colorants are present in specialty powders
Hazardous Impurities: Not present in food-grade samples; industrial-grade gelatin may contain additional processing materials
Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air, seek medical advice if coughing or shortness of breath lingers
Eye Contact: Rinse with running water for at least 10 minutes, remove contact lenses, seek medical attention if irritation continues
Skin Contact: Wash exposed area with soap and water, rare cases of skin sensitivity require medical attention
Ingestion: Product is not toxic in small amounts, large amounts might cause digestive upset; drink water to dilute
Notes to Physician: Symptomatic treatment only, monitor for allergic response
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray, or foam for nearby fires
Specific Hazards: Product can release irritating fumes if burning, powder accumulations can support combustion
Protective Equipment: Firefighters need self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent smoke or fume inhalation
Special Procedures: Remove containers from fire area if safe, prevent build-up of dust clouds which may ignite at high concentration
Decomposition: Burning may yield carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides
Personal Precautions: Avoid dust inhalation, use dust masks if necessary
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into water streams, drains, or soil
Methods for Cleanup: Sweep up with minimal dust generation, collect into a sealable container for disposal, wash area with water to prevent residue slip
Spill Area Management: Mark slippery floor and ventilate area to disperse dust
Handling: Use with adequate ventilation, minimize powder dispersion, avoid breathing dust
Storage: Store in tightly closed containers in cool, dry, and well-ventilated place
Incompatibilities: Keep away from strong oxidizers, acids, high heat
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands thoroughly after use, keep food and drink away from the work area
Special Instructions: Rotation of stock essential to maintain product quality
Workplace Exposure Limits: None established for gelatin, control dust below nuisance particulate limits (e.g. OSHA PEL for particulates not otherwise regulated: 15 mg/m³ total dust)
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust or general room ventilation to control airborne dust
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety goggles, dust masks or particle respirators (NIOSH approved, N95 or better), gloves for sensitive skin
Respiratory Protection: Needed only where dust is present in high concentrations
Other Protective Measures: Wear protective clothing to minimize skin contact in case of known allergies
Appearance: Pale yellow or off-white powder or granules
Odor: Faint, characteristic
Odor Threshold: Not available
Density: 1.3–1.4 g/cm³
Solubility: Swells in cold water, dissolves in hot water
pH: 5–7 (1% solution)

Flammability: May burn at high temperature
Partition Coefficient: Not applicable
Chemical Stability: Stable in normal conditions of storage and use
Polymerization: Does not occur
Conditions to Avoid: Strong oxidizers, acids, prolonged exposure to high temperature or humidity
Hazardous Decomposition: Decomposition releases toxic gases (CO2, CO, oxides of nitrogen/sulfur) in case of fire
Reactivity: Not reactive with common materials under recommended conditions
Corrosivity: Not corrosive to metals or skin
Acute Toxicity: Low toxicity for oral, dermal and inhalation exposure, food-approved substance in set doses
Chronic Effects: Not classified for chronic exposure under normal use
Irritation: Can cause mild, temporary eye or airway irritation from dust
Sensitization: Rare cases of allergic response have been reported, mostly in occupational settings
Mutagenicity/Carcinogenicity: Not expected based on studies, not listed by IARC, OSHA, NTP
Other Health Effects: Inhalation of high levels of dust may worsen pre-existing breathing conditions like asthma
Eco-Toxicity: Non-toxic to aquatic life in expected concentrations
Persistence and Degradability: Readily biodegradable, breaks down into natural peptides and amino acids
Bioaccumulation: Does not bioaccumulate
Mobility: Expected to remain in soil or water until broken down by microbes
Aquatic Effects: Large releases could cause oxygen depletion in water, avoid dumping in rivers
Other Information: No adverse ecological impacts from routine use or disposal
Waste Disposal Methods: Dispose in accordance with local, regional, and national regulations. If product is clean, can be composted or sent to municipal landfill
Contaminated Packaging: Clean thoroughly before recycling or disposal
