Classification: Not classified as hazardous under GHS criteria
Physical Hazards: Dust can become airborne during handling and pose respiratory nuisance
Health Hazards: Inhalation of dust may irritate nose, throat, or upper respiratory tract; skin contact may cause mild irritation in sensitive individuals; eye contact can cause irritation or redness
Environmental Hazards: No long-term ecological threats recognized; large quantities in water may increase biological oxygen demand and pose risk to aquatic organisms
Label Elements: No pictograms or signal words required; precautionary language about dust inhalation and personal protection
Other Hazards: Fine powder can cause dust explosion hazard in confined spaces with ignition source present
Precautionary Statements: Handle in well-ventilated areas, avoid generating dust, use personal protective equipment as required
Main Component: Polysaccharides (Galactomannans from Sesbania aculeata)
Chemical Formula: C6H10O5 (repeating units)
Other Ingredients: Moisture (up to 15%), proteins (trace), small amounts of natural plant residues or impurities
Synonyms: Sesbania seed gum, guar substitute
CAS Number: 11078-31-2
Impurities: None recognized as presenting health or environmental risks according to current regulatory standards
Inhalation: Remove exposed individual to fresh air; seek medical attention if respiratory symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water; remove contaminated clothing; seek medical help for persistent irritation
Eye Contact: Rinse gently with flowing water for several minutes, lift eyelids to ensure removal; consult medical professional if discomfort continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, drink water to dilute; seek help if symptoms appear or if large quantity ingested
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically based on the individual’s response; no specific antidote known
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: High-pressure water jets may cause dust dispersal
Specific Hazards: Fine dust may form explosive mixtures with air; high temperatures may produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other oxides
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Special Procedures: Apply water spray to cool bulk material and containers; avoid generating airborne dust; ensure all ignition sources are eliminated
Decomposition Products: Thermal decomposition can generate toxic fumes, including carbon oxides
Personal Precautions: Avoid breathing dust, use personal protective equipment such as dust masks or respirators
Environmental Precautions: Prevent release to watercourses or sewers in large quantities to avoid oxygen depletion; sweep up spills promptly
Methods for Containment: Use inert absorbent material for collection; avoid dispersal of dust into air
Cleanup Procedures: Sweep or vacuum using explosion-proof equipment, place in designated container for disposal; ventilate affected area
Handling: Maintain good industrial hygiene, avoid creating dust clouds, store away from ignition sources, use equipment designed to mitigate static electricity buildup
Storage: Keep dry in tightly sealed bags or containers; store in cool, well-ventilated space away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers; avoid stacking too high to prevent physical damage
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands thoroughly after use; prevent dust accumulation on surfaces
Storage Temperature: Ambient room temperatures recommended; excessive heat may cause deterioration
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizing agents may cause combustion or thermal hazards
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific OSHA PEL or ACGIH TLV; general nuisance dust limit applies (10 mg/m³ total dust, 3 mg/m³ respirable fraction)
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust or general ventilation to control airborne dust
Personal Protection: Safety goggles, gloves, long-sleeved clothing, dust mask or NIOSH-approved respirator for heavy exposure
Environmental Controls: Prevent release to environment beyond workplace; use containment walls or barriers
Administrative Controls: Provide training on handling powders, enforce no eating or smoking in work areas
Appearance: Off-white to pale yellow powder
Odor: Faint, characteristic earthy or plant-like odor
Odor Threshold: Not established
pH: 6.0 – 7.5 (1% aqueous solution)
Melting Point: Not applicable
Boiling Point: Not applicable
Flash Point: Not available; dust may be explosible
Solubility: Swells and partially dissolves in water, insoluble in most organic solvents
Specific Gravity: 0.6 – 0.7
Bulk Density: 0.55 – 0.75 g/cm³
Vapor Pressure: Not applicable
Vapor Density: Not applicable
Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water): Not measured
Auto-Ignition Temperature: >250°C
Decomposition Temperature: Begins above 200°C
Viscosity: High viscosity at low concentration in water
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal conditions of storage and use
Reactivity: No hazardous reactions expected during normal handling
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong oxidizers
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon oxides and small amounts of hydrocarbons upon combustion or thermal decomposition
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, open flame, and situations that generate dust clouds in confined spaces
Acute Toxicity: Low oral toxicity (LD50 rats: >5,000 mg/kg); considered as non-toxic by ingestion
Skin Contact: May cause mild irritation, especially in individuals with sensitive skin; no evidence of sensitization from repeated exposure
Eye Contact: Can cause mechanical irritation due to particulate nature
Inhalation: Dust may irritate respiratory tract; no chronic effects substantiated
Long-Term Effects: No evidence of carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, reproductive toxicity, or chronic toxicity
Medical Conditions Aggravated: Pre-existing respiratory or dermatological conditions may be worsened by dust exposure
Ecotoxicity: Not regarded as hazardous to aquatic life in small amounts; high organic load may increase BOD in water, leading to potential short-term oxygen depletion
Persistence and Degradability: Biodegradable under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions; breaks down by microbial activity
Bioaccumulation Potential: Low; not expected to accumulate in living organisms
Mobility in Soil: Readily disperses in water; limited migration in soil
Other Adverse Effects: May cause temporary turbidity in surface water upon release of large quantities
Disposal Methods: Landfill or incineration in accordance with local, regional, and national regulations; may be composted under controlled conditions
Special Considerations: Avoid uncontrolled release to water bodies; dust suppression measures recommended during transfer and disposal
Container Disposal: Recycle or dispose of containers in line with governing environmental laws
