Personal Precautions: Use gloves and dust mask to avoid contact with skin, eyes, and airway exposure; keep unprotected personnel away
Environmental Precautions: Do not let large amounts enter sewers, drains, or environments where dilution is not possible
Clean-Up Methods: Sweep up spilled powder without raising dust, transfer to a clean, dry disposal container and seal; wash area with copious water after removal
Disposal: Dispose of according to local, regional, and federal regulations; residues must not contaminate groundwater or soil
Safe Handling: Avoid inhaling dust; prevent contact with skin and eyes; use with proper local exhaust; wash thoroughly after use; do not eat, drink, or smoke during handling
Storage Conditions: Store in a tightly closed original container; keep in a dry, well-ventilated place at ambient temperature; protect from excessive heat, sunlight, and moisture
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers; acids and bases might degrade product quality over time
Packaging Materials: High-density polyethylene or glass recommended; containers should be labeled and remain sealed when not in use
Engineering Controls: Well-ventilated workspace; if dust production exceeds safe limits, use local exhaust or laboratory fume hood
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established exposure limits for Arginine Malate; general nuisance dust limits apply (ACGIH TLV for particulate matter not otherwise regulated: 10 mg/m³ total dust)
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety glasses or goggles; nitrile gloves; lab coat; respiratory protection such as dust masks for heavy or prolonged dust exposure
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly; avoid touching face, eyes, or mouth after handling; keep work area clean of residues
