Composition / Information on Ingredients

Chemical Name: Hydroxypropyl Distarch Phosphate
CAS Number: 9045-76-7
Concentration: >95% (typical)
Other Ingredients: Trace moisture, residual process chemicals below tolerable exposure limits
Impurities: None expected to affect classification or increase risk under intended use conditions

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move to fresh air, rinse mouth, seek medical attention if respiratory distress develops
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, seek medical advice if irritation occurs
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove lenses if present and easy to do, continue rinsing, consult a physician if symptoms persist
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, drink water to dilute, do not induce vomiting, seek medical attention for discomfort
Advice for Immediate Medical Attention: Treat symptomatically as needed

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use high-pressure water streams that may disperse dust
Specific Hazards: Fine dust can form explosive mixtures with air, thermal decomposition may release hazardous vapors such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
Advice for Firefighters: Remove containers from fire area if safe, use water spray to cool unopened containers

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Avoid contact with eyes and skin, avoid creating airborne dust, use dust masks in poorly-ventilated areas
Environmental Precautions: Prevent large quantities from entering water bodies or sewers
Cleanup Methods: Sweep or vacuum spilled material, avoid generating dust, collect in appropriate containers for disposal
Additional Advice: Provide adequate ventilation during cleanup, wash spill area with water after material removal

Handling and Storage

Handling: Use in well-ventilated areas, minimize dust creation, handle bags or containers carefully to prevent bursting
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands after use, do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling
Storage Conditions: Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area, avoid moisture exposure
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizing agents
Storage Temperature: Below 25°C recommended, but product maintains stability at typical warehouse temperatures
Specific End Use: Refer to product technical literature for application safety

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limit: No specific limits established, suggest observing limits for nuisance particulates (10 mg/m³ total dust, 3 mg/m³ respirable fraction)
Engineering Controls: Provide local exhaust ventilation to control dust
Respiratory Protection: Wear dust mask or respirator during operations creating dust
Skin Protection: Wear gloves when frequent or prolonged contact expected
Eye Protection: Wear safety goggles in dusty environments
General Safety Measures: Use protective clothing for frequent handling, ensure eye wash stations are available
