Product Name: Calcium Fructonate
Chemical Formula: C12H20CaO14
CAS Number: 208813-92-9
Synonyms: Calcium bis(3-carboxy-2,3,5-trihydroxyhexanoate)
Recommended Use: Dietary supplement, food fortification, pharmaceutical ingredient
Manufacturer Information: Check supplier's data for specifics, as sources often vary
Emergency Contact: National poison information center or health and safety officer number should appear prominently in this section where teams can reach help quickly.
Classification: Non-hazardous under typical conditions; not classed as dangerous under GHS guidelines
Potential Health Effects: Slight eye and skin irritation might occur on direct contact; excessive ingestion can cause mild gastrointestinal symptoms
Signal Word: None required
Hazard Pictograms: Not applicable
Precautionary Statements: Avoid dust formation; keep away from eyes and mouth
Other Information: People handling large quantities without protective gear may develop mild but temporary respiratory symptoms due to dust
Chemical Identity: Calcium Fructonate
Purity: ≥98% by assay
Impurities: Trace amounts of related saccharides or moisture, usually below 2%
Ingredient Contribution: Allergenic potential is low, based on ingredient composition and available literature; unlikely to trigger reactions in consumers
General Advice: Move away from the source of exposure; assess for symptoms and seek help if necessary
Eye Contact: Gently rinse with clean water for at least 15 minutes; remove contact lenses if present
Skin Contact: Wash affected area thoroughly with water and mild soap; seek help if irritation persists
Inhalation: Move the person to fresh air, observe closely for breathing difficulties
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water; watch for discomfort and seek medical help if symptoms develop (large ingestion often not dangerous in healthy adults)
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water, dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide
Specific Hazards: Dust may slightly aggravate fire if dispersed in air, but calcium fructonate itself is not highly flammable
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Standard equipment, including eye protection and self-contained breathing apparatus if heavy smoke forms
Combustion Products: Carbon oxides (CO, CO₂), calcium oxide vapors, and water vapor may evolve in very high heat; inhalation risk stays low with good ventilation
Personal Precautions: Limit dust inhalation through appropriate masks and eye protection for spills or cleanups
Environmental Precautions: Prevent large amounts from entering drains or water streams
Clean-Up Methods: Sweep or vacuum without creating dust; dampen down granules with water to limit air particles before transfer to suitable container
Disposal: Place waste in sealed, labeled bins for appropriate handling
Handling: Use in well-ventilated spaces; avoid creating or inhaling dust; avoid contact with eyes or skin
Storage: Store in tightly sealed containers placed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location; keep away from moisture and sources of irritation
Special Storage Requirements: Do not store near strong acids or bases; avoid direct sunlight to prevent breakdown over time
Packaging: Resealable, moisture-proof bags or drums with clear labeling support longer shelf life and keep product stable
Occupational Exposure Limits: Not established due to low toxicity, but dust levels should be monitored and minimized
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation or general ventilation reduces airborne dust
Personal Protection: Dust masks, goggles, and gloves avoid respiratory and dermal exposure; regular handwashing after tasks reduces risk
Additional Measures: Use protective clothing in frequent or large-scale handling scenarios to protect personal well-being
Appearance: White or off-white powder, occasionally granular
Odor: Odorless
Odor Threshold: Not applicable
pH (in solution): About 7.2 (1% solution)
Melting Point/Freezing Point: Decomposes without melting
Boiling Point: Not relevant (decomposes before boiling)
Flash Point: Not flammable
Evaporation Rate: Not volatile
Solubility: Moderately soluble in water (greater than 3 g/100 mL at 25°C)
Vapor Pressure: Not volatile
Density: 1.65–1.75 g/cm³
Partition Coefficient (n-Octanol/Water): Not measured
Decomposition Temperature: Above 200°C
Chemical Stability: Stable under standard conditions for normal use; avoid excessive heat and humidity
Reactivity: No known violent reactions
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong bases, oxidizing agents
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Calcium oxide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide if strongly heated
Polymerization: Does not occur
Routes of Exposure: Oral, dermal, inhalation
Acute Toxicity: Low toxicity; no significant effects at nutritional use levels
Chronic Toxicity: Not linked to adverse effects for normal human intake; overconsumption could cause mild digestive upset (nausea, diarrhea)
Skin/Eye Irritation: Minimal; temporary irritation may result from powder contact
Carcinogenicity: Not listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA
Mutagenicity: No data suggesting mutagenic activity
Reproductive Toxicity: Not known to affect fertility or fetal development
Ecotoxicity: Low concern; ingredient is a carbohydrate salt, biologically degradable, non-accumulative
Mobility in Soil: Expected to be mobile; absorbs water and leaches through soil
Persistence/Degradability: Readily degraded by microorganisms
Bioaccumulation: Unlikely; rapid metabolism in soil and water
Aquatic Toxicity: No evidence of harm at reasonable concentrations; large spills may disrupt microbial balance in water temporarily
Waste Treatment Methods: Small amounts can enter normal waste streams for non-hazardous organic solids; larger quantities should go to controlled landfill or incineration according to local guidelines
Packing Contaminated Waste: Use sealed, appropriately labeled bins
Special Notes: Do not flush in large quantities into surface water or drainage systems
UN Number: Not regulated as dangerous goods
Proper Shipping Name: Calcium Fructonate
Transport Hazard Class: Not classified as hazardous
Packing Group: Not applicable
Environmental Hazards: None
Special Precautions: Avoid exposure to water; keep packaging sealed during transit
Global Inventories: Registered in relevant inventories such as TSCA (US), REACH (EU), and similar regional agencies
Labeling Requirements: Follows national regulatory requirements for non-hazardous food and pharmaceutical chemicals; does not require hazard symbols under GHS
Other Regulations: Food and pharmaceutical use regulated by local food safety authorities (such as FDA or EFSA) which require purity and quality documentation
Worker Protection: Follows national health and workplace protection standards for dust-generating substances
