Skin Contact: Wash off with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing
Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes, consult physician if irritation persists
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, support breathing if coughing or respiratory discomfort develops
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink plenty of water, seek medical attention only if large amount swallowed or symptoms persist
Note to Physicians: Treat symptoms, product is not known to be toxic in small quantities
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Media: Direct water jet may spread oils
Specific Hazards: May form combustible dust clouds, decomposition yields carbon oxides (CO, CO2), phosphorus oxides
Protective Equipment: Standard fire-fighting gear, self-contained breathing apparatus
Special Procedures: Contain runoff to prevent environmental contamination, use fire-fighting methods suitable for surrounding conditions
Combustion Products: Dense smoke, acrid fumes under high heat or direct flame
Personal Precautions: Wear gloves, goggles, non-slip footwear, avoid contact with eyes and skin
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage into the soil, sewers, or waterways
Spill Clean-up: Absorb with inert material such as sand, collect residue with suitable tools, clean surface thoroughly with soap and water
Waste Disposal: Place in a chemical waste container for regulatory disposal
Other Guidance: Ventilate area after removal, avoid dust formation during cleanup
Handling: Avoid excessive dust generation, use in well-ventilated areas, minimize rough handling that may create dust
Storage: Keep in cool, dry, well-ventilated place, store in tightly closed original containers, protect from direct sunlight and moisture
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, strong acids
Special Practices: Routine housekeeping prevents spills, inspect containers regularly for leaks or damage
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after handling, do not eat, drink, or smoke while using product
Exposure Limits: None established by OSHA, ACGIH, or NIOSH for finished hydroxylated lecithin
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust or general room ventilation, dust collection systems in manufacturing
Personal Protective Equipment: Protective gloves recommended for handling bulk quantities, goggles in settings where splashes or dust may occur, NIOSH approved respirator for dusty environments
