GHS Classification: Not classified or category 5 for most blends Label Elements: No pictogram required for typical use; precautionary statements apply Signal Word: None Main Routes of Exposure: Contact with skin and eyes; ingestion; inhalation of dust or vapors Health Hazards: May cause mild skin or eye irritation; ingestion of large amounts can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort Environmental Hazards: Not expected to produce significant environmental effects Other Hazards: Minor slip hazard if spilled
Main Component: Sodium Lactate (60–80%) Other Ingredients: Water, trace mineral stabilizers, lactic acid (<2%) Impurities: None expected in significant amounts; food or pharmaceutical grade meets purity standards Additive Information: Specific blend ratios available on product technical sheet
Inhalation: Move to fresh air, seek medical attention if symptoms develop Skin Contact: Wash affected area with soap and plenty of water; remove contaminated clothing Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes; remove contact lenses Ingestion: Rinse mouth; do not induce vomiting unless directed by healthcare provider; seek advice for significant intake Most Important Symptoms: Temporary irritation of eyes, skin, gastrointestinal tract Advice for Immediate Medical Care: Show label if available; follow standard protocols for chemical exposure
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, CO₂, dry chemical Specific Hazards Arising from Blend: Blend does not fuel flames but may give rise to sodium oxides or carbon oxides under combustion Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, protective suit Additional Advice: Prevent fire-fighting water runoff from entering drains or water courses
Personal Precautions: Wear chemical-resistant gloves and safety glasses Spill Cleanup: Absorb with inert material, sweep or shovel into suitable container Environmental Precautions: Avoid discharge to drains, streams, or soil Methods for Containment: Dike or soak up with absorbent, clean area with water Reference to Other Sections: Use protective measures described in section on Exposure Controls
Safe Handling Advice: Keep container tightly closed; avoid contact with skin and eyes Hygiene Practices: Wash hands before breaks and after work; prevent ingestion or inhalation Storage Conditions: Store between 10°C and 30°C in well-ventilated, dry area Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, oxidizers Packaging Materials: Use original or approved containers; no reactive metals
Control Parameters: No occupational exposure limits established for sodium lactate Engineering Controls: General ventilation recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Gloves (nitrile, latex), safety goggles, lab coat Respiratory Protection: Dust mask for powders or aerosols Environmental Controls: Minimize release to air or water; use containment
Appearance: Clear to pale yellow liquid or powder, mild odour Odour Threshold: Not established pH (10% solution): Ranges from 6.5 to 8.5 Melting Point/Freezing Point: Below -10°C for liquid forms Boiling Point: Above 100°C for solutions Flash Point: Not applicable Evaporation Rate: Not determined Flammability: Does not sustain combustion Vapour Pressure: Negligible at ambient temperature Solubility: Fully miscible with water Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water): Not measured Density: 1.3–1.4 g/cm³ for typical blends Viscosity: Thicker than water
Chemical Stability: Chemically stable under recommended conditions Reactivity: Neutral under normal handling and storage Hazardous Reactions: Reacts with strong acids to liberate lactic acid Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, exposure to strong oxidizers Decomposition Products: Produces sodium oxides, carbon oxides under fire
Acute Toxicity: LD50 (oral, rat) above 2000 mg/kg; low acute toxicity Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Skin contact may produce mild, reversible irritation Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Eye contact can cause stinging, redness Respiratory Sensitization: Inhalation of dust may cause mild irritation Germ Cell Mutagenicity: No data indicating mutagenic potential Carcinogenicity: No evidence of carcinogenic effects Reproductive Toxicity: No adverse effects documented STOT – Single/Repeated Exposure: Not classified
Aquatic Toxicity: Expected to be low; LC50 (fish) > 100 mg/L Persistence and Degradability: Biodegradable; breaks down naturally Bioaccumulation Potential: Unlikely to bioaccumulate Mobility in Soil: High mobility due to water solubility Other Adverse Effects: Not identified
Waste Disposal Methods: Follow local, regional, and national rules; avoid landfill release Contaminated Packaging: Empty containers may be rinsed and recycled or disposed of as non-hazardous waste Special Precautions: Do not flush large volumes into public sewers or waterways
UN Number: Not regulated Transport Hazard Class: Not assigned Packing Group: Not applicable Environmental Hazards: None for shipping purposes Special Transport Precautions: Secure containers; prevent leaks Transport in Bulk: Not classified as dangerous
Safety, Health, and Environmental Regulations: Product meets REACH, TSCA, and other national chemical control acts Labelling Requirements: Follows GHS for chemicals; specific consumer regulations may apply for food or cosmetic use Inventory Status: Listed in major global inventories Other Regulatory Restrictions: Food and pharma blends comply with grade standards where specified Worker Protection: Comply with national workplace safety laws and right-to-know regulations
