Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS): Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil

Identification

Chemical Name: Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil
Synonyms: Fully Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Hydrogenated Fats, Saturated Vegetable Fat
Recommended Uses: Food ingredient, cosmetic base, pharmaceutical excipient, industrial lubricant
Manufacturer: Multiple manufacturers including global agribusiness and specialty chemical companies
Emergency Phone Number: Refer to the supplier or local emergency services

Hazard Identification

Classification: Not classified as hazardous under GHS
Physical Hazards: Can present slip hazards if spilled
Health Hazards: Inhalation of dust from powdered forms may irritate respiratory tract
Environmental Hazards: Solid fats may create water surface films and reduce oxygen transfer
Pictogram: No symbol required

Composition / Information on Ingredients

Main Component: Hydrogenated triglycerides derived from plant oils, mainly soybean, canola, sunflower or palm
Chemical Formula: Mixture – primarily C16 to C22 fatty acids (fully saturated as stearic and palmitic triglycerides)
Purity: 97–100%, remaining percentage may include trace phospholipids, tocopherols, minor unsaponifiables
CAS Number: 8016-70-4 (generic), specific blend or source may vary

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move exposed individual to fresh air, monitor for irritation, seek medical attention if symptoms continue
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin thoroughly with soap and water
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with clean water for several minutes, remove contact lenses, contact physician if discomfort persists
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water to dilute, do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel
Notes for Medical Staff: Treat symptomatically, no specific antidote required

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, foam, powder, dry sand
Unsuitable Media: Direct water jet can spread molten material
Fire Hazards: May emit irritating smoke, acrolein and carbon oxides when burned
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Full protective gear, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)
Special Procedures: Cool affected containers with water spray from a safe distance

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear protective gloves and slip-resistant shoes to avoid falls
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, sewers, waterways
Spill Cleanup Methods: Scrape or sweep up, absorb residue with sand or inert material, collect in suitable containers for disposal
Decontamination: Wash down affected area with hot water and detergent to remove oily residue

Handling and Storage

Precautions for Safe Handling: Avoid creating dust during powder handling, maintain good industrial hygiene, clean up spills quickly to avoid slipping hazards
Storage Conditions: Store in well-ventilated, cool, dry area, protect from heat and direct sunlight
Container Requirements: Food-grade, airtight containers made of compatible material such as plastic, steel or coated drums
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, acids

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Provide local exhaust in areas of high dust or heated operation
Exposure Limits: Not established for hydrogenated vegetable oil, monitor for nuisance particulates (OSHA PEL: 15 mg/m³ total dust, 5 mg/m³ respirable dust)
Personal Protection: Safety glasses for handling bulk or powder, gloves, lab coat or apron
Respiratory Protection: Approved dust mask or respirator in cases of fine solid dispersion
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before eating or drinking, launder exposed clothing

Physical and Chemical Properties

Appearance: Off-white to pale yellow solid or semi-solid, flakes, powder or block; clear to slightly cloudy liquid when melted
Odor: Mild, fat-like
pH: Not applicable (insoluble in water)
Melting Point: 50–70°C (varies by blend and source)
Boiling Point: Decomposes before boiling
Flash Point: 285–300°C (Cleveland Open Cup)
Density: 0.85–0.92 g/cm³ at 20°C
Solubility: Insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents
Viscosity: Thickens as temperature drops

Stability and Reactivity

Chemical Stability: Stable in recommended storage conditions, resistant to oxidation compared to unhydrogenated oils
Reactivity: Low; may react with strong oxidizing agents
Hazardous Polymerization: Does not occur
Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, acrolein, fumes under intense heat or fire

Toxicological Information

Routes of Exposure: Inhalation (dust), skin and eye contact, ingestion
Acute Effects: Low toxicity, may cause slight eye or skin irritation
Chronic Effects: Large quantities in diet linked to increased cholesterol, no evidence of carcinogenicity
LD50 Values: Not determined for mixture; components exhibit low oral toxicity
Mutagenicity/Carcinogenicity: No evidence in available data

Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: Low environmental hazard, readily biodegradable, potential to impact aquatic life by forming surface films
Bioaccumulation: Not bioaccumulative
Degradability: Biodegradable under aerobic conditions
Mobility in Soil: Low mobility, adsorbs to soil particles
Persistence: Breaks down within weeks to months in natural environments

Disposal Considerations

Waste Disposal: Solid or spent material may be disposed as general non-hazardous industrial waste, follow local regulations
Avoid Release: Do not discharge into waterways or sewers
Packaging Disposal: Clean containers before recycling or disposal in line with municipal requirements

Transport Information
