Other Ingredients: None identified

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Seek medical attention if symptoms like coughing or shortness of breath persist
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes
Eye Contact: Rinse with plenty of water for several minutes. Do not rub eyes. Get medical attention if irritation occurs
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water to dilute. Medical help often not required unless symptoms continue
Acute and Delayed Symptoms: Eye and respiratory irritation from dust. No known chronic effects noted with common handling

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Direct stream of water can scatter dust and spread fire
Specific Hazards: Product is combustible as a dust. Fine particles may form explosive mixtures with air. Burning releases carbon oxides
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
Special Precautions: Cool exposed containers with spray. Avoid dust buildup. Remove ignition sources in fire area

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Ventilate area. Avoid breathing dust. Use suitable personal protective equipment, including dust mask, gloves, and goggles
Environmental Precautions: Minimize spillage into drains, soil, or waterways. Prevent dust from becoming airborne
Methods for Clean Up: Sweep or vacuum up material without creating dust. Place in labeled containers for disposal or reuse. Wash spill site with water to eliminate residue, as slippery surfaces can result

Handling and Storage

Handling: Avoid generating dust. Use with local exhaust ventilation if necessary. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Keep away from flames or sources of heat
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid exposure to moisture, which causes clumping and caking. Keep away from incompatible materials like strong acids and oxidizers. Maintain cleanliness in storage areas to prevent pest contamination

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits established for dextrose anhydrous
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation near dust sources. Eye washing facilities recommended
Personal Protective Equipment: Use dust mask or respirator where dust is present. Wear safety goggles to protect eyes. Lightweight gloves reduce the risk of skin dryness. Standard lab or work clothing prevents contamination
Hygiene Measures: Change contaminated clothing before leaving work area. Wash hands before eating, drinking, or smoking
