Product Name & Other Names: Potassium stearate or Potassium octadecanoate.
CAS No.: 593-29-3
EINECS EC Number: 209-786-1

Skin: Immediately remove any contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated area thoroughly with soap and copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation or adverse symptoms develop, seek medical attention.
Eyes: Remove any contact lenses at once. Flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Ensure adequate flushing by separating the eyelids with fingers. If irritation or adverse symptoms develop, seek medical attention.
Ingestion: Contact a physician immediately.
Remove to fresh air, if coughing, breathing becomes labored, irritation develops or other symptoms develop, seek medical attention at once, even if Inhalation symptoms develop several hours after the exposure.

Flammable Limits: Not established.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Burning will produce toxic fumes. Firemen should be equipped with SCBA with a full-face piece operated in the positive pressure demand mode with appropriate turnout gear and chemical resistant personal protective equipment. Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk. Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.
Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards: Concentrated dust may present an explosion hazard.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. At high temperatures under fire conditions, it may produce toxic or irritating fumes. Fire-extinguishing work is done from the windward and the suitable fire-extinguishing method according to the surrounding situation is used.

Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures: Ventilate area of leak or spill. Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.). Restrict unprotected personnel from the area. Prevent any contact with hot surfaces. Do not approach facing the wind.
Environmental precautions: Do not let the product enter drains, soil, or water sources.
Methods and materials used for containment Cleanup procedures and Storage: Contain spilled material. Cover with an inert, non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite). Vacuum or sweep-up and remove to an approved disposal container. Clean up spills in a manner that does not disperse dust into the air. Use non-sparkling tools and equipment. Reduce airborne dust and prevent scattering by moistening with water.

Precautions for safe handling: Apply according to good manufacturing and industrial hygiene practices. Avoid dust formation and control ignition sources. Employ grounding, venting and explosion relief provisions in accord with accepted engineering practices in any process of capable of generating dust and/or static electricity. Ensure proper ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not drink, eat, or smoke while handling. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Minimize dust generation. Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.). Prevent any contact with hot surfaces.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in cool, dry, and ventilated area away from heat sources and protected from sunlight in tightly closed original container. Keep air contact to a minimum. Store protected from heat, sparks and ignition sources and incompatible materials. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not store with incompatible materials like strong oxidizing agents and peroxides, strong mineral acids.

USA ACGIH Threshold Limit Values: 10 mg/m3 TWA.
Respiratory Protection: Work ambient concentrations should be monitored and if airborne concentrations are expected to exceed acceptable levels wear a NIOSH/MSHA approved dust air purifying respirator. When using respirators refer to OSHA’s 29CFR 1910.134.
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator may be worn. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Other Control Measures: Maintain good housekeeping in work area. Dust deposits on floors and other surfaces may pick up moisture and cause the surfaces to become slippery and present safety hazards.
