Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Treat symptomatically. SECTION 5 FIREFIGHTING MEASURES 5.1. Extinguishing media Foam. Dry chemical powder. BCF (where regulations permit). Carbon dioxide. Water spray or fog - Large fires only. 5.2. Special hazards arising from the substrate or mixture Fire Incompatibility Avoid contamination with oxidising agents i.e. nitrates, oxidising acids, chlorine bleaches, pool chlorine etc. as ignition may result 5.3. Advice for firefighters Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves. Fire Fighting Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water courses. Use water delivered as a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent area. DO NOT approach containers suspected to be hot. Cool fire exposed containers with water spray from a protected location. If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire. Equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use. Slight hazard when exposed to heat, flame and oxidisers. Combustible. Will burn if ignited. Combustion products include: carbon monoxide (CO) carbon dioxide (CO2) Fire/Explosion Hazard other pyrolysis products typical of burning organic material. Articles and manufactured articles may constitute a fire hazard where polymers form their outer layers or where combustible packaging remains in place. Certain substances, found throughout their construction, may degrade or become volatile when heated to high temperatures. This may create a secondary hazard. SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES 6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures See section 8 6.2. Environmental precautions See section 12 6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up Clean up all spills immediately. Secure load if safe to do so. Minor Spills Bundle/collect recoverable product. Collect remaining material in containers with covers for disposal. Minor hazard. Clear area of personnel. Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. Wear physical protective gloves e.g. Leather. Major Spills Contain spill/secure load if safe to do so. Bundle/collect recoverable product and label for recycling. Collect remaining product and place in appropriate containers for disposal. Clean up/sweep up area. Water may be required. 6.4. Reference to other sections Personal Protective Equipment advice is contained in Section 8 of the SDS. SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE 7.1. Precautions for safe handling Limit all unnecessary personal contact. Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs. Use in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with incompatible materials. When handling, DO NOT eat, drink or smoke. Keep containers securely sealed when not in use. Safe handling Avoid physical damage to containers. Always wash hands with soap and water after handling. Work clothes should be laundered separately. Use good occupational work practice. Observe manufacturer's storage and handling recommendations contained within this SDS. Atmosphere should be regularly checked against established exposure standards to ensure safe working conditions are maintained. Fire and explosion protection See section 5 Other information Store away from incompatible materials. 7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Generally packaging as originally supplied with the article or manufactured item is sufficient to protect against physical hazards. If repackaging is required ensure the article is intact and does not show signs of wear. As far as is practicably possible, reuse the original packaging or Suitable container something providing a similar level of protection to both the article and the handler. Glass container is suitable for laboratory quantities Avoid contamination of water, foodstuffs, feed or seed. Dilute solutions of all sugars are subject to fermentation, either by yeast or by other microorganisms or enzymes derived from these, producing gases Storage incompatibility which can pressurise and burst sealed containers. Some microorganisms will produce hydrogen or methane, adding a fire and explosion hazard. Avoid strong acids, bases. Avoid reaction with oxidising agents 7.3.

Exposure controls 8.2.1. Appropriate engineering Articles or manufactured items, in their original condition, generally don't require engineering controls during handling or in normal use. Exceptions may arise following extensive use and subsequent wear, during recycling or disposal operations where substances, found in the article, may be controls released to the environment. 8.2.2. Personal protection Safety glasses. Safety glasses with side shields. Chemical goggles. Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lenses or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59], [AS/NZS 1336 or national equivalent] No special equipment for minor exposure i.e. when handling small quantities. OTHERWISE: Safety glasses with side shields. Eye and face protection Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants.

Incompatible materials See section 7.2 10.6. Hazardous decomposition See section 5.3 products SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION 11.1. Information on toxicological effects The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of the respiratory tract (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Inhaled Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable control measures be used in an occupational setting. Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product Extremely large doses of sucrose, given by mouth, may cause gastro-intestinal disturbance. It is estimated that 450 grams of candy would produce symptoms of acute gastroenteritis in a 10-kilogram child. However, this would almost certainly cause vomiting, so gastroenteritis is unlikely. The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification systems as "harmful by ingestion". This is because of the lack of Ingestion corroborating animal or human evidence. Polysaccharides are not easily absorbed from the digestive tract, but may produce a laxative effect. Larger doses may produce intestinal or stomach blockage. < Skin Contact The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation following contact (as classified by EC Directives using animal models).
