Inhalation: Move to fresh air, support breathing as needed, seek medical attention if irritation persists
Skin Contact: Wash with plenty of water and soap, remove contaminated clothing, consult doctor if irritation develops
Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for 10-15 minutes, lift eyelids, seek medical advice if discomfort remains
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water, do not induce vomiting, seek medical attention if feeling unwell or after large ingestion
Acute Symptoms: Temporary irritation, redness, or discomfort; severe reactions rare and involve underlying allergies
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, CO2, dry chemical powder, foam
Unsuitable Media: High-pressure water jet may disperse dust
Specific Hazards: Potential for combustible dust explosion if fine powder is suspended in air near ignition source
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, small quantities of organic compounds
Special Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing
Precautions: Eliminate ignition sources, prevent dust accumulation, avoid inhaling combustion fumes
Personal Precautions: Use protective gloves, dust mask, safety goggles
Environmental Precautions: Prevent bulk spill from entering waterways or sewer, scoop up and containerize solid material
Cleanup Methods: Sweep up without generating dust, place in appropriate waste container, ventilate area
Decontamination: Wash surfaces with water after material removal
Handling: Minimize dust generation, maintain adequate ventilation, avoid exposure to open flames or sparks
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly sealed containers away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight
Compatible Materials: Keep away from strong oxidizing agents
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, bases, oxidative chemicals
Storage Temperature: Recommended below 25°C (77°F)
Packaging: Use moisture-proof containers, seal promptly after use
Occupational Exposure Limits: No regulatory limit for grape skin extract, maintain workplace dust levels below 10 mg/m³ for total inhalable dust
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust or general ventilation
Personal Protective Equipment: Wear protective gloves, dust-resistant goggles, particle-filtering mask (P2 or N95 equivalent)
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling, do not eat or drink in handling area
Environmental Controls: Minimize release to outside environments
Appearance: Fine powder, red-purple to brown color depending on grape variety

pH (in 1% solution): Approximately 3.5–5.0
Melting Point: Not applicable (decomposes prior to melting)
Boiling Point: Not applicable (non-volatile solid)
Flash Point: Not applicable (organic powder, watch for combustible dust)
Solubility: Partially soluble in water, better solubility in ethanol
Bulk Density: 500–800 kg/m³ (varies by carrier and process)
Partition Coefficient: Not determined
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal storage and handling conditions
Thermal Decomposition: Decomposes above 200°C to release carbon oxides and organic acids
Hazardous Reactions: None under standard use; avoid mixing with strong acids, bases, or oxidizing agents
Polymerization: Will not occur
Conditions to Avoid: Heat, flames, sources of ignition, prolonged exposure to air and light (may accelerate degradation)
Incompatibility: Strong oxidizers, acids, bases
Acute Toxicity: Grape skin extract shows low toxicity in animal studies; LD50 (oral, rat) > 5000 mg/kg
Skin Irritation: Not classified as an irritant, mild irritation in rare cases
Eye Irritation: May cause temporary discomfort, redness
Inhalation Risk: Breathing dust could cause temporary throat irritation, coughing
Chronic Effects: Epidemiological data suggest safety in typical dietary amounts, long-term animal exposure did not show carcinogenicity
Allergens: Allergic reactions in sensitive individuals cannot be ruled out
Mutagenicity: Tests on polyphenols in grape skins show negative results
Reproductive Toxicity: No effects found in studies at relevant exposure levels
Ecotoxicity: Low toxicity to aquatic and terrestrial organisms at relevant concentrations
Persistence and Degradability: Readily biodegradable by soil and water microorganisms
Bioaccumulation Potential: Unlikely to bioaccumulate; compounds metabolized rapidly
Mobility in Soil: Moderate mobility, but subject to degradation
Other Adverse Effects: Large quantities may deplete oxygen briefly if dumped into water due to biological oxygen demand
