Main Ingredients: Natural cellulose fibers: 60–80%, Silica gel: 10–30%, Polymer binder: 5–10%, Moisture indicator: less than 1%
CAS Numbers: Cellulose: 9004-34-6, Silica gel: 7631-86-9, Polymer binder: proprietary, Indicator: proprietary
Impurities: Less than 1% total, do not add toxicity
Ingredient Notes: Individual concentrations do not require special labeling, based on safety assessments following REACH and OSHA standards
Inhalation: Move to fresh air; drink water to clear throat if mild discomfort occurs; consult medical advice if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, seek attention if irritation continues
Eye Contact: Rinse gently with water for several minutes, do not rub, remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, seek care if discomfort continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, seek medical help if large quantities are swallowed or symptoms develop
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Avoid direct water jet on piles — risk of dust cloud
Specific Hazards: By-products may include carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, minor toxic fumes at high temperatures
Protective Equipment: Firefighters need to wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus
Explosion Data: Product itself doesn’t support combustion, but dust clouds in air can ignite with strong enough spark
Additional Information: Remove containers from fire area if safe, cool exposed surfaces with water mist to prevent over-heating
Personal Precautions: Avoid inhaling dust; use gloves and a dust mask or respirator for cleanup
Environmental Precautions: Sweep up material to avoid slipping hazard, do not allow product to enter drains or waterways
Methods for Cleanup: Gather mechanically; vacuum or sweep up and collect for reuse or disposal; wash spill area after removal
Reference to Other Sections: For emergency responders, refer to protective equipment guidelines under Exposure Controls and First Aid Measures
Handling: Open packages in dry, ventilated conditions, avoid rough handling that creates excessive dust, avoid skin and eye contact
Storage: Store bags in a cool, dry location, sealed in original containers, away from strong acids or oxidizers
Special Requirements: Keep away from high humidity and direct sunlight; prevent contact with water before use to preserve efficacy; lock storage for bulk quantities
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong oxidizers, alkalis
Occupational Exposure Limits: Cellulose dust: OSHA PEL: 15 mg/m³ (total dust), 5 mg/m³ (respirable fraction)
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation in bulk handling areas
Personal Protective Equipment: Gloves to protect sensitive skin, safety glasses for bulk use, dust mask or respirator in dusty environments
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after handling; do not eat, drink, or smoke near handling locations
Appearance: White to beige fibrous material in sachets or rolls
Odor: Odorless
pH: Neutral in aqueous solution
Melting/Freezing Point: Not applicable for mixture as used
Boiling Point: Not applicable
Flash Point: Over 200°C (for organic fiber matrix)
Evaporation Rate: Not relevant
Flammability: Will burn at high temperatures; not highly flammable
Vapor Pressure: Not applicable
Solubility in Water: Water-insoluble
Density: 0.7–0.8 g/cm³
Partition Coefficient: Not applicable
Viscosity: Not applicable
Other Properties: Absorbs water up to 30% by weight, stable in a range of 0–85% relative humidity
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal storage and handling conditions
Reactivity: Low under normal conditions, reacts with strong acids, oxidizers
Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: Not expected under normal use; excessive heat might trigger thermal decomposition
Conditions to Avoid: High humidity before use, excessive heat, open flame
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong bases, oxidizing agents
Hazardous Decomposition Products: May include small amounts of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and silicon oxides in fires
Acute Toxicity: Low toxicity by ingestion, skin, or inhalation based on ingredient profiles
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Can cause mild, temporary irritation
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: May irritate on direct contact, serious effects not common
Respiratory or Skin Sensitization: No known sensitization from routine contact
Germ Cell Mutagenicity: No evidence present
Carcinogenicity: Not listed as a carcinogen by IARC, NTP, OSHA
Reproductive Toxicity: No data supporting reproductive harm
STOT-Single Exposure: May cause temporary discomfort by inhaling large quantities of dust
STOT-Repeated Exposure: Not expected with normal use
Aspiration Hazard: Not considered an aspiration hazard
Ecotoxicity: Not classified as hazardous to aquatic environment, cellulose and silica gel do not accumulate in organisms
Persistence and Degradability: Cellulose degrades in soil and water over time; silica remains inert, not harmful
Bioaccumulative Potential: Not bioaccumulative
Mobility in Soil: Low mobility, product tends to stay at or near deposition point
Other Effects: Not known to disturb wastewater treatment plants; large spills can present temporary solid waste concerns
Waste Disposal Methods: Place used or spent material in sealed containers for industrial or community waste disposal; for large industrial quantities, seek advice on local regulations
Contaminated Packaging: Rinse and recycle where possible, otherwise dispose of as solid waste
Special Precautions: Do not allow product to enter natural water bodies or sewer systems; do not burn large quantities unless permitted by authorities
