Citric acid, monohydrate

If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.

In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Cold water may be used. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. For serious skin contact: Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream.

Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used.

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.

SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder. LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, fog or foam.

Do not use water jet.

Material in powder form, capable of creating a dust explosion. As with most organic solids, fire is possible at elevated temperatures.

SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder. LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, fog or foam. Do not use water jet.

Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. If necessary: Neutralize the residue with a dilute solution of sodium carbonate. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements.

Stop leak if without risk. Do not get water inside container. Do not touch spilled material. Use water spray to reduce vapors. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Eliminate all ignition sources. Call for assistance on disposal. Neutralize the residue with a dilute solution of sodium carbonate. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system.

Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not ingest. Do not breathe dust. Wear suitable protective clothing If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, reducing agents, alkalis.

Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.

Do not ingest. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition.

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.

Gloves (impervious).

Safety glasses. Splash goggles (for large spill).

Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. The dust respirator should be used for conditions where exposure has exceeded recommended exposure limits, dust is apparent, and engineering controls(adequate ventilation) are not feasible. A self contained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product (for large spill).

Lab coat. Full suit (for large spill). Boots (for large spill).

The product is stable.

Reactive with oxidizing agents, reducing agents, metals, alkalis.

Polymerization: Will not occur.

Excess heat, incompatible materials, moisture/moisture air.

oxidizing agents, reducing agents, metals, alkalis, potassium tartrate, alkali, alkaline earth carbonates and bicarbonates, acetates, and sulfides, metal nitrates
