Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
water, polyvalent foam, ABC dry chemical powder.
May form flammable dust in the finely divided and air suspended state.
Treat as "class A" fire. Gelatin should be removed from the source of heat/ignition to reduce decomposition, if possible.
Firefighter Protection
Wear protecting equipment including overalls, boots, gloves, eye and face protection and compressed air/oxygen apparatus.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Handle as non hazardous material.
Unlikely to present environmental hazard.
Sweep up or vacuum, place in a bag or container and hold for waste disposal. Ventilate area and wash thoroughly spill site with warm water after material pick up is complete.

Physical and Chemical Properties
Appearance, physical state, melting point, boiling point, and material characteristics
Stability and Reactivity
Chemical stability, hazardous reactions, and incompatible materials
Gelatin is stable for at least 5 years when suitably stored in sealed containers under typical warehouse conditions, to prevent ingress or loss of moisture. After 5 years, Bloom gel strength and moisture should be re-tested to establish that no significant change has occurred.
Avoid reactive like formaldehyde, which can compromise the products functionality.
Heat that could initiate auto inflammation.
Strong oxidising agents
May cause toxic fumes of CO, CO₂ and NOₓ in case of burning.
