Eye Contact: Rinse carefully with clean water for at least fifteen minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and simple to remove.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Drink a glass of water for dilution if large amounts were swallowed.
Most Important Symptoms: Irritation in respiratory tract, mild skin or eye irritation.
Notes for Physicians: Treat symptomatically. There are no specific antidotes identified for this compound.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry powder, carbon dioxide, foam, or water spray as appropriate for surrounding materials.
Unsuitable Media: None known under typical conditions.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Combustion may release carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, and other harmful gases.
Special Instructions: Emergency personnel should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and appropriate protective gear to avoid dust, smoke, or gases.
Explosion Sensitivity: This substance does not pose any known unusual fire or explosion hazard.
Personal Precautions: Wear suitable gloves, eye protection, and dust mask to minimize direct contact and dust inhalation.
Environmental Precautions: Avoid excessive discharge to soil or surface waters. Take care to prevent entry into sewers or water systems.
Methods for Clean-up: Use a vacuum or wet sweeping method to collect spilled material without generating dust. Deposit material in appropriately labeled waste containers. Ventilate area after cleanup.
Handling: Handle in an area with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust formation. Take care to prevent contact with incompatible or moisture-sensitive materials.
Storage: Store in a tightly sealed container, in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Keep away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Protect from moisture and strong oxidizing agents.
Other Precautions: Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits for L-Carnitine fumarate.
Engineering Controls: Provide adequate mechanical ventilation, especially during bulk handling or powder transfer.
Eye Protection: Wear safety goggles or face shield when handling large quantities.
Skin Protection: Wear gloves made from nitrile or other suitable materials.
Respiratory Protection: Use dust masks or respirators during conditions likely to create airborne particles.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling, remove contaminated clothing, keep work area tidy.
