Other Ingredients: None relevant to classification
Allergens: Product source (shellfish, corn, or synthetic) may be significant for allergy-sensitive users
Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air; if symptoms develop, seek medical attention
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water; seek medical attention if irritation persists
Eye Contact: Rinse with plenty of water, holding eyelids open; remove contact lenses if present and easy to do; seek medical advice if irritation continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water; do not induce vomiting; get medical advice if large amounts are swallowed or if symptoms occur
Most Important Symptoms: May cause mild irritation, unlikely to cause severe reactions
Emergency Medical Attention: No special procedures recommended; treat symptomatically
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, or foam
Specific Hazards from Fire: Decomposes at high temperature producing sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and carbon oxides
Protective Equipment for Fire Fighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing
Special Procedures: Keep containers cool with water spray, prevent fire-fighting water from entering drains
Combustion Products: May emit toxic fumes if heated to decomposition
Flammability: Not highly flammable under normal conditions; fine dust can form explosive mixtures with air
Personal Precautions: Avoid contact with eyes and skin; use personal protective equipment including gloves and goggles
Environmental Precautions: Do not allow large quantities to enter waterways; prevent further leakage
Cleanup Methods: Sweep up and place in a suitable, properly labeled disposal container; minimize creation of dust
Decontamination: Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is complete
Disposal: Dispose of waste in accordance with local, regional, and national regulations
Handling: Keep containers tightly closed to avoid moisture uptake; avoid generating dust; use with adequate ventilation
Hygienic Practices: Wash hands thoroughly after handling; avoid eating, drinking, or smoking when using the substance
