Administrative data
First-aid measures
Description of the first aid measures - Don’t induce vomiting by untrained person.
In case of inhalation - Supply fresh air. In case of irritation of the respiratory tract or continuing discomfort consult a physician.
In case of skin contact - Wash with soap and plenty of water; compensate the loss of skin fat by using suitable hand lotion. In case of continuing skin irritation consult a physician.
In case of eye contact - Rinse opened eye for 10 minutes with running water, in case of continuing discomfort consult immediately an eye specialist.
In case of ingestion - Rinse mouth thoroughly and drink plenty of water (2 glasses). In case of indisposition consult immediately a physician. When indicated take advice by emergency telephone.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed - No information available.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media - water, foam, C02, powder
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons - Not applicable
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture - In case of fire hazardous gases may be produced (carbon oxides).
Advice for firefighters - Self-contained breathing apparatus. Avoid escape of fire water into surface water, groundwater and soil.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures - Avoid skin and eye contact, use suitable personal protective equipment, avoid dust clouds.
Environmental precautions - Avoid soil and groundwater contamination.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up - Take up spilled product with a vacuum cleaner or mop up wet. Avoid generation of dust clouds, final cleaning of affected area using water. Vacuum cleaner has to satisfy specification for combustible dusts (class B1 or volume limited to 50 litre and power consumption < 1200 W).
Handling and storage
Precautions for save handling - Avoid contact with the product, use suitable personal protective equipment, avoid generation of dust clouds, keep clean workplace, remove contaminations with product immediately.
Precautions against fire and explosion - In case of dust forming production steps (such as filling, mixing) explosive dust/air mixtures might be generated. Exclude ignition sources / take measures against electrostatic charging. Risk assessment for hazards for explosive dust/air mixtures has to be performed for all production steps and appropriate protective measures have to be implemented by responsible person.
Conditions for save storage, including any incompatibilities
Technical measures and storage conditions - Store containers tightly closed under ambient conditions (advised storage temperature 15-30°C) in a dry place, avoid direct light exposure, store separate from food.
Requirements for storage rooms and vessels - Protect containers from weather and humidity.
Storage class VCI: Class 11 (Combustible solid matter)

Exposure controls / personal protection
Control parameters
Occupational exposure limits (AGW) Germany - Not defined
Occupational exposure limits of EU - Not defined
Exposure controls - Avoid dust formation by technical measures (closed equipment, local extraction).If the formation of dust can not be excluded, avoid the contact with the substance by appropriate personal protective equipment (protective clothing, inhalation protection, safety glasses).
Personal protection equipment -
Respiratory protection - Dust mask filter if necessary
Hand protection - The glove material must be impermeable and resistant against the product. Test the leak tightness before use. In case of longer wearing take measure against skin exposure by humidity (undergloves and skin care). Test results for different glove materials are not available at present. From experience glove materials as nitrile rubber, butyl rubber, chloroprene rubber, fluorine rubber are appropriate for protection against not dissolved solids.
Eye protection - Safety goggles with side frame, in case of dust formation use cover-typed safety goggles.
Body protection - Body covering protective clothing
Measures for skin care - Apply appropriate skin protection lotion before and after work.
Environmental Exposure Controls - No more measures necessary.
Stability and reactivity
Reactivity - Less reactive substance.
Chemical stability - Stable under recommended storage conditions for a minimum of 5 years.
Possibility of hazardous reaction - Normally no hazardous reactions are expected.
Conditions to avoid - At higher temperatures (>100°C) Quinic acid lactone and aromatic phenols are formed.
Incompatible materials - Strong oxidizing agents lead to decomposition of the product.
Hazardous decomposition products - Hazardous decomposition products are not produced as a result of use, storage, spill and heating.
Disposal considerations
Appropriate disposal / Product - Wastes must be disposed in compliance with the respective national regulations.
Recommendation - Request the applicable waste code from the waste disposal contractor.
Waste codes / waste designations according to EWC / AVV - Classify waste to the group 0701 (wastes from the manufacture, formulation, supply and use of basic organic chemicals).
Waste treatment methods - Waste should be delivered to an incineration plant. Quinic acid containing solutions should be not disposed through waste water.
Contaminated packaging - Contaminated packaging or containers have to be disposed with residual wastes.
Purified packaging - Purified packaging can be recycled.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
