Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
After inhalation: Supply fresh air; consult doctor in case of complaints.
· After skin contact: Flush skin with water.
· After eye contact: Flush eyes with water for at least 15 min. See physician if irritation persists.
· After swallowing:
None needed for small amounts. For large amounts, if conscious, give water and call physician. Do not induce
vomiting.
· Information for doctor:
· The following symptoms may occur:
Effects of Overexposure : May cause mechanical irritation to eyes.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure : Persons with respiratory conditions may be at increased risk.
Primary Route(s) of Entry : Inhalation, Ingestion and eyes.
Fire-fighting measures
· Suitable extinguishing agents:
CO2, powder or water spray. Fight larger fires with water spray or alcohol resistant foam.
· Protective equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
Accidental release measures
· Person-related safety precautions:
Avoid eye contact and excessive skin contact.
Use appropriate NIOHS/MSHA approved respirator. Wear chemical gloves goggles, and lab coat.
· Measures for environmental protection:
Prevent material from contaminating soil or entering sewerage and drainage systems.
· Measures for cleaning/collecting:
Carefully contain spilled material . Deposit spilled material in appropriate waste containers for disposal.
Handling and storage
· Information for safe handling:
Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash thoroughly after handling and before mealtimes
· Information about fire - and explosion protection:
Prevent the accumulation of air borne dust/dust cloud. The potential of a dust cloud explosion exists.
Follow normal measures for preventive fire protection.
· Storage:
· Requirements to be met by storerooms and receptacles:
Provide adequate general mechanical exhaust to keep airborne levels low if user operations generate dust.
Recommended decontamination facilities: eye bath, washing facilities.
· Information about storage in one common storage facility:
Store away from oxidizing materials and strong caustic materials.
· Further information about storage conditions:
Store containers closed in ambient location away for all possible combustion sources and incompatibles.
· Specific applications
FOOD USES: Bakery Products: Icings, fillings, sugar decorations and oil based coatings. Confectionery:
Candy and confectionery coatings and chewing gums. Dairy Products: Ice creams, yoghurts, and wax coatings
for cheese. Dessert Products: Gelatins, puddings and beverage bases. Seasoning Products: Snack food coatings
and mixes, spice mixes.
PHARMACEUTICAL USES: Coated and compressed tablets, gelatin (soft and hard) capsules.
NON FOOD USES: Personal Care: Lipsticks, blushers, creams, lotions, and cosmetic powders.
PACKAGING: Plastic films and wax coated packagings, Can linings. (Medium and high strength are
recommended for these applications)
INKS: Flexographic and Lithographic. (High strength lakes are recommended for use in Inks)

Exposure controls / personal protection
· Ingredients with limit values that require monitoring at the workplace: Not required.
· Additional information: The lists valid during the making were used as basis.
· Personal protective equipment:
· General protective and hygienic measures:
The usual precautionary measures are to be adhered to when handling chemicals.
· Respiratory protection: Use NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator as needed to control exposure.
· Protection of hands:
The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation.
Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/ the
chemical mixture.
Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation
· Material of gloves Rubber gloves.
· Penetration time of glove material
The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be
observed.
· Eye protection: Safety glasses with side shields or goggles.
Stability and reactivity
Thermal decomposition / conditions to be avoided:
No decomposition if used according to specifications.
Open flames and sparks, extreme heat, oxidizing materials.
· Materials to be avoided: Oxidizing materials and strong caustic materials can cause a reaction.
· Dangerous decomposition products: Incomplete combustion can form CO, CO2, and dense smoke.
Disposal considerations
· Recommendation
Dispose of in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
Material may be sent to an approved landfill or licensed treatment, storage, and disposal facility.
