3. Composition / Information on Ingredients

Main Ingredient: Paprika (Capsicum annuum) extract 90-98%
Color Index Number: CI 75140
Other Ingredients: Vegetable oil (carrier), minor carotenoids, antioxidants (tocopherols)
Allergens: None commonly known, but source and process can introduce traces
CAS Number: 84625-29-6
Impurities: Residual solvents below regulatory thresholds, minor inert carriers
Additives: Antioxidants for shelf stability in some preparations

4. First Aid Measures

Eye Contact: Flush immediately for several minutes with clean water, remove contact lenses if present
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water, seek medical help for irritation or rashes
Inhalation: Move exposed person to fresh air, provide oxygen if breathing becomes difficult
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water, do not induce vomiting, consult a physician if symptoms persist
Most Important Symptoms: Mild irritation, redness; continued exposure may cause dryness
Note for Physicians: Treat symptomatically, allergic response is possible but rare

5. Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical powder, CO₂, foam, water spray
Unsuitable Media: Direct jet of water on product piles
Fire Hazards: May produce combustible dust, burning releases carbon oxides
Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus, protective clothing to prevent skin contact
Special Procedures: Evacuate area, contain fire fighting run-off, prevent inhalation of smoke
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, minor hydrocarbons

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Use gloves, goggles, dust mask if large amounts spilled;
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product entry into waterways or drains
Containment: Scoop up bulk with non-sparking tools, avoid raising dust
Cleaning Method: Sweep carefully, vacuum with HEPA filter, wipe residues with wet cloth
Disposal: Collect in sealed containers for approved disposal, clean spill area
Emergency Procedures: Isolate area, restrict unnecessary movement until cleanup complete

7. Handling and Storage

Handling: Minimize dust formation, use local exhaust ventilation, avoid contact with eyes/skin
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before eating, do not smoke or consume food in work area
Storage Conditions: Store cool, dry, protect from direct sunlight and moisture, seal tightly
Compatibility: Store away from strong oxidizing agents, acids
Storage Temperature: 10-25°C, refrigeration prolongs color stability
Packaging: Food-grade containers, opaque packaging preferred

8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust or general ventilation
Exposure Limits: No workplace limits established for natural paprika extract
Personal Protective Equipment: Gloves for prolonged use, goggles during handling, dust mask in bulk powder operations
Hygiene Practices: Wash with mild soap after contact, avoid inhaling dust
Environmental Controls: Prevent release to water, filter air emissions if processing continuously
