2 Erythorbic acid FCC Page Number: 2 Section 4. First Aid Measures Eye Contact Skin Contact Serious Skin Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 5 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention if irritation occurs. Wash with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Cold water may be used. Inhalation Serious Inhalation If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention. Ingestion Serious Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention if symptoms appear. Section 5. Fire and Explosion Data Flammability of the Product Auto-Ignition Temperature Flash Points Flammable Limits Products of Combustion Fire Hazards in Presence of Various Substances May be combustible at high temperature. 640 C (84 F) These products are carbon oxides (CO, CO2). Slightly flammable to flammable in presence of heat. Non-flammable in presence of shocks. Explosion Hazards in Presence of Various Substances Slightly explosive in presence of open flames and sparks. Non-explosive in presence of shocks. Fire Fighting Media and Instructions Fire Hazards Explosion Hazards SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder. LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, fog or foam. Do not use water jet. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. Section 6. Accidental Release Measures Small Spill Large Spill Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements. Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system.

3 Erythorbic acid FCC Page Number: 3 Section 7. Handling and Storage Precautions Storage Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not ingest. Do not breathe dust. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, metals, alkalis. Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Sensitive to light. Store in light-resistant containers. Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Engineering Controls Personal Protection Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit. Safety glasses. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Gloves. Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill Exposure Limits Splash goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product.

Toxicological Information Routes of Entry Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans Other Toxic Effects on Humans Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans other Toxic Effects on Humans Inhalation. Ingestion. Acute oral toxicity (LD50): 8300 mg/kg [Mouse]. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation. May affect genetic material (mutagenic) Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: May cause skin irritation. Eyes: May cause eye irritation. Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. Ingestion: It is considered to be a low ingestion hazard since it has a low level of toxicity. It may cause irritation of the digestive tract. Section 2. Ecological Information Ecotoxicity BOD5 and COD Products of Biodegradation Toxicity of the Products of Biodegradation the Products of Biodegradation Possibly hazardous short term degradation products are not likely. However, long term degradation products may arise. The product itself and its products of degradation are not toxic. Section 3.
