Composition / Information on Ingredients

Main Component: Paprika oleoresin (Capsicum annuum extract, 70-90%)
Carrier Oil: Vegetable oil (sunflower or soybean, 10-20%)
Residual Solvents: Traces of ethanol or hexane (<0.5%)
Color Compounds: Carotenoids, including capsanthin, capsorubin, beta-carotene
Antioxidants: Tocopherol complex or ascorbyl palmitate for stability (<0.1%)
Impurities: None recognized as hazardous at concentrations present

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air, monitor breathing, medical attention for prolonged discomfort
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, seek attention if rash or irritation develops
Eye Contact: Rinse with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present, get medical advice if irritation persists
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, seek medical advice in case of allergic reaction, unlikely to require immediate medical intervention for small amounts
Notes for Physician: Treat symptomatically, observe for allergic responses or severe irritation

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or fire-fighting foam
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use water jets on burning oil-based product
Hazardous Combustion Products: May release oxides of carbon, irritating smoke
Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
Special Procedures: Cooled containers with water to prevent rupture, contain runoff to prevent environmental spread

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear gloves, protective eyewear, dust mask or respirator
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into watercourses, drains, and soil
Cleanup Methods: Absorb with inert materials like sand, sweep up mechanically, place in a labeled waste container
Reference to Other Sections: Use personal protective equipment, refer to regulatory disposal guidelines below

Handling and Storage

Handling Recommendations: Avoid generation of dust, wear protective gloves and mask, wash hands after use
Storage Conditions: Keep tightly sealed in cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from strong oxidizers and direct sunlight
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents
Technical Measures: Provide local exhaust ventilation where dust generation occurs
Storage Life: Typically 24 months in original unopened packaging stored below 25°C

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific limit set for paprika orange, treat as nuisance dust (10 mg/m³, OSHA PEL for total dust)
Engineering Measures: General and local exhaust ventilation to control airborne particles
Personal Protective Equipment: Gloves (nitrile or latex), safety goggles, dust mask or respirator (NIOSH N95 or equivalent when dusty)
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and face after handling, avoid eating or drinking nearby
Environmental Exposure Controls: Use containment during large scale transfers to prevent spills
