3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
Product Name & Other Names: Xanthan Gum, Polysaccharide gum produced by the fermentation of carbohydrate with the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris.
CAS Number: 11138-66-2
EINECS EC Number: 234-394-2
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Always get medical attention after the first aid is over.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Eyes - Flush with water for at least 15 minutes, raising and lowering eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin - Thoroughly wash exposed area for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Ingestion - If Xanthan Gum is swallowed, if conscious, give plenty of water. Immediately call a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation - Remove to fresh air. Give oxygen if breathing is difficult; give artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. Get medical attention.
5. FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES
Extinguisher Media: Use media suitable to extinguish surrounding fire. Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
Auto-ignition Temperature: > 200 deg C (> 392.00 deg F)
Flammable Limits in Air % by Volume: N/A. This material in sufficient quantity and reduced particle size can create a dust explosion.
Special Fire fighting Procedures: Firefighters should wear full protective equipment and NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus.
6. SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Avoid generating dusty conditions. Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.). Restrict unprotected personnel from the area. Prevent any contact with hot surfaces. Do not approach facing the wind.
Environmental precautions: Do not let the product enter drains, soil or water sources.
Methods and materials used for containment Cleanup procedures and Storage: Contain spilled material. Cover with an inert, non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite). Vacuum or sweep-up and remove to an approved disposal container.
7. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Precautions for safe handling: Apply according to good manufacturing and industrial hygiene practices. Ensure proper ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not drink, eat or smoke while handling. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Minimize dust generation. Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.).
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in cool, dry and ventilated area away from heat sources and protected from sunlight in tightly closed original container. Keep air contact to a minimum. Do not leave the material container open. Store protected from heat, sparks and ignition sources and incompatible materials. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of dust/mist/vapor. Do not store with incompatible materials like strong oxidizing and reducing agents, strong acids and bases.
8. SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
This product is not known to contain any hazardous materials with occupational exposure limits established by the region-specific regulatory bodies. As an airborne dust, exposure limits pertaining to "particulates not otherwise regulated" have been provided below.
