Emergency Phone Number: Emergency contact details found on supplier label

2. Hazard Identification

GHS Classification: Not recognized as hazardous under most global standards, low acute toxicity
Hazard Statements: Can cause mild irritation to eyes, skin, or respiratory tract if dust is inhaled or contacts skin
Precautionary Statements: Avoid breathing dust, wear protective clothing, wash thoroughly after handling, use with adequate ventilation, avoid eye and skin contact
Signal Word: None typically required

3. Composition / Information on Ingredients

Chemical Name: Schisandra chinensis fruit extract
Common Constituents: Lignans (schisandrin, gomisin A, deoxyschisandrin), polysaccharides, essential oils, organic acids
CAS Number: Not universally assigned due to natural source, check specific supplier details
Purity: Generally above 90% plant-derived extract, with minor constituents
Additives: May include maltodextrin or silica as carriers, depending on finished product form

4. First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move individual to fresh air, provide oxygen if breathing becomes difficult, seek medical attention if symptoms develop
Skin Contact: Rinse with soap and plenty of water, remove contaminated clothing
Eye Contact: Flush gently with water for at least 15 minutes, remove contact lenses if present, consult physician if irritation persists
Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly, drink water to dilute, do not induce vomiting, seek medical help if large quantity ingested or symptoms appear

5. Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, small amounts of organic irritants
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus
Specific Hazards: Combustible dust can form explosive mixtures in air, ensure dust control practices

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, dust masks, avoid breathing dust, ensure adequate ventilation
Environmental Precautions: Keep material out of waterways, sewers, and soil
Clean Up Methods: Sweep up carefully to prevent dust, place in a suitable container for disposal, wash spill area with water, avoid creating airborne particulates

7. Handling and Storage

Safe Handling: Minimize dust generation, handle in a well-ventilated area, wear recommended skin and eye protection, wash hands after handling
Conditions for Safe Storage: Store in a tightly closed container, keep in cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, protect from sunlight and moisture, avoid contact with strong acids or oxidizers
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong oxidizing agents

8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: Not established for Schisandra extract, follow general dust exposure regulations (OSHA PEL 15 mg/m³ total dust)
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, process enclosures, dust collection systems
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety goggles or glasses, nitrile or latex gloves, protective clothing, dust masks or respirators rated for particulates
