Classification: Not considered hazardous under GHS classification, no signal word required
Potential Hazards: Dust may cause mild irritation to the respiratory system, eyes, or skin. Ingestion is not expected to be harmful under typical use, though excessive exposure should be avoided.
Label Elements: None required for normal handling; usual laboratory hygiene recommended.
Other Hazards: May form combustible dust concentrations in air; sensitive individuals may experience allergic reactions with skin contact.
Chemical Name: L-Arginine
Purity: ≥ 98%
Molecular Weight: 174.20 g/mol
Component: L-Arginine single ingredient, no significant impurities contributing to classification.
Eye Contact: Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin with soap and plenty of water. Seek attention if rash or irritation develops.
Inhalation: Move individual to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, seek medical attention.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, drink water to dilute. Do not induce vomiting. Get medical help if symptomatic.
Note to Physicians: Treat symptomatically, provide supportive measures as needed.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, CO2, or foam.
Non-Suitable Extinguishing Media: High power water jets may spread dust.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Dust can form explosive mixtures in air. Combustion can produce carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, and ammonia.
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and ammonia.
Personal Precautions: Avoid breathing dust, ensure adequate ventilation. Wear protective equipment including goggles, dust mask, gloves.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Avoid release to sewers or waterways.
Cleanup Methods: Collect spilled material in a dry, clean container for reuse or disposal. Vacuum or sweep up to avoid dispersing dust. Wash area with water after cleanup.
Precautions for Safe Handling: Minimize dust generation, use engineering controls to avoid excessive dust. Practice good hygiene, wash hands after handling, avoid eating and drinking in work area.
Storage Conditions: Store in a tightly closed container, in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Protect from moisture and incompatible substances such as oxidizers.
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizing agents, acids, and bases.
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust or general ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety goggles to prevent dust from contacting eyes, gloves to avoid skin contact, dust respirator for nuisance dust.
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established OSHA, ACGIH, or NIOSH limits for L-Arginine specifically.
Hygiene Measures: Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse, wash hands before eating, drinking, or smoking.
Environmental Controls: Avoid release of dust to the environment using filters or scrubbers.
