Precautionary Statements: Avoid breathing dust; wear appropriate protection; use with adequate ventilation
Chemical Composition: Polymers of glucose or other monosaccharides
Purity: Typically over 99% pure
Synonyms: See identification for alternate names
Impurities: May contain low levels of water, mineral ash, protein, or trace amounts of unreacted monomers
Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air; provide oxygen if breathing is difficult; seek medical attention for persistent symptoms
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water; seek medical aid if rash or irritation persists
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes; remove contact lenses if present; seek help if irritation continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth; drink water to dilute; consult a physician if discomfort or large quantities are ingested
Important Symptoms: Dust exposure may trigger coughing, sneezing, and mild irritation of skin or eyes
Flammability: Organic dust may present a combustible explosion hazard
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: None known
Special Hazards: Fires can produce oxides of carbon, possible hazardous dust clouds
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective clothing
Firefighting Instructions: Avoid generating dust; apply extinguishing agent to cool surrounding area; evacuate nonessential personnel
Personal Precautions: Wear protective clothing and respiratory protection to prevent dust inhalation
Environmental Precautions: Prevent material from entering drains, surface, or ground water
Methods for Cleanup: Sweep or vacuum material to prevent airborne dust; place in an appropriate container for disposal; use a vacuum equipped with HEPA filtration
Spill Response: Wash site of spill after material pickup; avoid dry sweeping to minimize dust
Handling: Handle with care to minimize dust production; use in well-ventilated areas; avoid contact with strong oxidizers
Personal Protection: Wear dust mask, safety goggles, gloves when handling larger quantities
