Chemical Name: Soybean Fiber
CAS Number: 9010-10-0
Common Synonyms: Soy fibre, dietary soy fiber, soy roughage
Concentration: 100% natural soy fiber, no additives or preservatives
Inhalation: Move person to area with fresh air, encourage slow, deep breathing; seek medical attention if irritation persists
Skin Contact: Brush off excess powder, wash with soap and water if irritation occurs
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes gently with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present, continue rinsing
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water; product is non-toxic, complications are unlikely unless allergies exist
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Media: Direct, high-pressure water stream may scatter dust
Specific Hazards: Dust may form explosive mixtures in air
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
Special Procedures: Remove containers from area if safely possible, use gentle sweeping or vacuum for after-fire cleanup
Personal Precautions: Use appropriate dust mask and safety glasses to avoid inhalation and eye contact
Spill Cleanup Methods: Sweep or vacuum up material gently to avoid creating airborne dust, clean with damp cloth, avoid dry sweeping in confined spaces
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains or watercourses to avoid large-scale loads, though environmental risk remains low
Handling: Use adequate ventilation to minimize dust generation; keep container tightly closed; minimize direct contact
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from strong acids or oxidizing agents; keep sealed to avoid moisture absorption;
Incompatible Materials: None known, standard food ingredients and packaging are suitable
Exposure Limits: No established OSHA or ACGIH exposure limits for soy dietary fiber
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation at dust-generating operations
Personal Protective Equipment: Dust mask or NIOSH-approved respirator during dust exposure; safety goggles for eye protection; general work gloves for sensitive skin
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands after handling; avoid eating, drinking, or smoking in processing areas
Appearance: Off-white to light yellow powder or fine granules
Odor: Mild, characteristic bean aroma
pH (1% solution): Slightly acidic to neutral
Solubility: Insoluble in water, swells in presence of water
Boiling Point: Not applicable
Flash Point: Not applicable to non-volatile powders
Bulk Density: 0.3 to 0.6 g/cm³ (approximate value)
Particle Size: Variable, typically passed through 80 mesh
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions
Reactivity: Not reactive under normal conditions
Conditions to Avoid: Exposure to moisture, which can cause clumping; avoid airborne dust accumulation near ignition sources
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Burning produces carbon oxides and organic particulates
Acute Toxicity: No evidence of acute toxicity in standard use
Chronic Effects: No known long-term health risks from handling or consumption; individuals with soy allergies may experience allergic reactions
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation (dust), ingestion, eye/skin contact
Symptoms: Temporary respiratory, skin or eye irritation due to dust exposure; ingestion may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort if large amounts consumed
