Impurities: May contain traces of wheat if manufactured in facilities using wheat-based ingredients
Inhalation: Move individual to fresh air; rinse mouth with water to clear residual particles
Skin Contact: Wash affected area with soap and water; discard contaminated clothing if irritation persists
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes under gently running water for at least 10 minutes
Ingestion: Product intended for food use; in large amounts, encourage drinking water; seek medical attention for allergic reactions
Major Symptoms: Itching, redness, sneezing (from dust), swelling in rare allergic cases
Medical Attention: Seek emergency care for signs of severe allergy (hives, breathing trouble)
Flammability: Combustible as most food powders
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
Explosion Risk: Suspended dust may form explosive mixtures with air
Special Hazards: Burning product may emit carbon monoxide and other combustion products
Protective Equipment: Wear full protective gear and self-contained breathing apparatus in large fires
Advice for Firefighters: Avoid creating dust; cool containers with water spray
Personal Precautions: Use dust mask, gloves, and eye protection if dust is present
Clean-Up Methods: Sweep up, avoiding generation of dust; collect spilled material for reuse or disposal
Environmental Precautions: Prevent large spills from entering watercourses
Waste Disposal: Store in sealed containers until proper disposal
Emergency Procedures: Ventilate area; sweep gently or use vacuum with HEPA filter
Handling Precautions: Minimize dust generation; avoid contact with eyes; keep in original packaging
Safe Practices: Use in well-ventilated areas; wash hands after use
Storage Conditions: Keep in cool, dry place; protect from moisture and strong odors
Packaging Materials: Sealable food-grade bags, boxes, drums; avoid damaged packages
Special Considerations: Check for pest infestation in long-term storage
Exposure Limits: Not established for soy protein; use limits for nuisance dust (10 mg/m3 total, 3 mg/m3 respirable)
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust or general ventilation to control airborne dust
Personal Protective Equipment: Dust mask (respirator rated P1 or N95), goggles, gloves
Hygiene Measures: Remove clothing that has become dusty; wash hands and face before eating or drinking
Appearance: Light brown-beige granules, flakes, or chunks
Odor: Mild beany or nutty aroma
pH (10% solution): 6.5 - 7.5

Moisture Content: 6% - 10%
Partition Coefficient: Not applicable
Vapor Pressure: Not applicable (non-volatile solid)
Decomposition Temperature: Over 200°C (chars, produces smoke)
Other Information: Dust explosion risk if air suspended concentrations exceed 50 g/m3
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal conditions
Reactivity: No dangerous reactions expected with common materials
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers
Hazardous Decomposition: Produces carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides upon burning
Conditions to Avoid: High humidity, direct flame, open sparks, excessive dust build-up
Acute Toxicity: Low; not hazardous in typical quantities
Skin Sensitization: Possible in sensitive individuals
Respiratory Effects: Dust may irritate airway
Ingestion Effects: Intended for consumption; excessive amounts may cause stomach upset
Chronic Effects: No evidence of mutagenic or carcinogenic properties
Allergenicity: Contains soy allergens; trigger for soy-sensitive persons
Long-Term Exposure: No published chronic toxicity data for food-grade material
Aquatic Toxicity: Not expected to be harmful in water; large quantities may promote algae by acting as organic nutrient
Persistence and Degradability: Naturally degrades in environment
Bioaccumulation: Not expected since it is a plant-derived protein
Mobility in Soil: Limited, absorbs water and binds to soil
Other Effects: Decomposition increases biological oxygen demand if large spills reach surface waters
Product Disposal: Treat as food waste; composting preferred if available
Contaminated Packaging: Rinse and recycle or dispose in accordance with local regulations
