L-Ascorbic acid, 2-(dihydrogen phosphate) 6-hexadecanoate, sodium salt (1:3)

Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Move the victim to fresh air. Aid in breathing if necessary

and seek medical attention.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of flowing water for at

least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses if easily possible.

Seek medical attention if irritation occurs.

Emergency measure - Skin: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove

contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before re-

use. Seek medical attention if irritation occurs.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Rinse mouth and then drink plenty of water. In case of

persistent symptoms, consult a doctor.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: No special provisions for extinguishing media are required.

As such, foam, water fog, carbon dioxide or dry powder

extinguishers may be used as appropriate to the conditions

of the fire.

Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in

a fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg carbon dioxide, sodium

and phosphate containing compounds).

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing

apparatus must be worn.

Fight the fire from a safe distance or protected location.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Evacuate personnel from immediate vicinity.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment conforming to

the relevant national or international standards, as

mentioned in section 2.3.10.

Avoid dust formation by damping down with water. Absorb

spillages of solutions with a suitable inert material

(eg. sand or soil). Carefully transfer the spillage to waste

containers, or use a sealed industrial vacuum machine.

Containers filled with waste material must be labelled

in the same way as the original substance containers.

Clean the spillage area with water and detergent.

Dispose of waste material in accordance with local

regulations by incineration.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be stored, handled and used under

conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with

any local regulations in order to avoid exposure.

Inhalation of the substance and skin contact should be

avoided and eye contact is excluded. Dust-proof equipment

should be used during filling, transfer and metered feeding

as well as during sam-pling. In the case of handling in open

systems, any dust that can form must be extracted directly

at the point of origin. If technical extraction or

ventilation measures are not possible or are insufficient,

the wearing of respiratory protection (e.g. :::) is

recommended. To avoid skin contact, the wearing of

protective gloves (e.g. :::) and, if applicable, suitable

protective clothing (e.g. :::) is recommended. Safe eye

protection (e.g. :::) is absolutely essential. Eye douches

should be made available in the immediate vicinity of the

work area and their location should be indicated

conspicuously.

Such protective equipment should conform to the appropriate

international or national standards as follows;

Chemical protective gloves to Standard EN374

Chemical protective clothing to Standard EN368

Eye protection to Standard EN166.

Furthermore, when respiratory protective equipment has to be

used, it must be capable of adequately controlling

exposure, be suitable for the purpose, and conform to the

appropriate international or national standards, such as a

dust mask conforming to EN149 FFP1.

If dust can develop, due to the potential dust explosion

risk, potential ignition sources should be removed from the

work area. In addition, measures should be taken to prevent

electrostatic discharges.

These measures should be regarded as a minimum.

Storage: Store in the freezer at approximately -20 °C.

For the storage the original packaging drums or other

unbreakable and correctly labelled containers are to be

used. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use and

secure by suitable measures against falling down. Avoid

product residues on the packing drums.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Carton, 1 kg.

SpecialProvisions

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: None known.

Chemical reaction with water: None that is hazardous, as the substance is dissolved in

water in the formulation process.

Dust explosion: Under normal conditions of use this material does not

present a significant explosion hazard. However, like most

organic compounds it is combustible and may form a dust

explosion if widely dispersed in air.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Discharge to the environment will be minimal. Recovery from

minor spillages or accidental discharge is not economically

or technically feasible, and such waste material will be

disposed of by incineration. It is not possible to recover

larger spillages of uncontaminated material for subsequent

use.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The notification tests have shown that the substance is an

eye irritant. No chemical treatment is practicable to

neutralise the hazardous health and environmental

properties.

The dust hazard will be minimised by appropriate handling

and storage.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not recommended.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be disposed of by incineration by burning

under controlled conditions at a licensed waste treatment

processor in accordance with local regulations. Stack gases

should be scrubbed, because noxious fumes (eg. carbon

oxides, sodium and phosphate containing compounds) could be

formed.

No hazards have been envisaged if the material is

incinerated in authorised manner.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not normally be discharged directly

to the sewage system or the aqueous environment.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Consumer use of cosmetic and hygiene products will result in

release of the substance to the environment via the foul

sewer. This release will be widespread and disperse.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - others: None.
