Symptoms: Nose and throat irritation, mild skin redness, eye discomfort, coughing
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical powder, or carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use strong water jets as dust dispersal may occur
Specific Hazards: Decomposes at high temperatures releasing harmful gases (cyanuric acid, melamine, nitrogen oxides)
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear if involved in fire
Explosion Risk: Fine dust in air may form explosive mixtures, take precautions in storage areas
Personal Precautions: Avoid inhalation of dust, ventilate area, wear gloves and goggles
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains and waterways, clean up spills immediately
Methods for Cleaning: Sweep up or vacuum without raising dust, collect in sealed container for disposal, wash down area with plenty of water
Disposal: Dispose of in accordance with local regulations, avoid uncontrolled discharge
Handling: Keep containers tightly closed, use proper grounding when transferring large volumes, minimize dust generation
Storage: Store in cool, dry, ventilated area away from incompatible substances, keep containers sealed, avoid direct sunlight
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizers, acids, and bases
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before eating and after handling, do not eat or smoke in usage areas
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits for melamine cyanurate
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation to control dust
Personal Protective Equipment: Dust mask or NIOSH-approved respirator, chemical goggles, gloves, protective clothing
Environmental Protection: Prevent dust release, filter exhaust air, avoid discharge to water systems
Appearance: White, fine crystalline powder
Odor: Odorless
pH: 6 – 8 in aqueous suspension
Melting Point: Decomposes above 300°C
Solubility: Practically insoluble in water, soluble in strong acids
Density: About 1.6 g/cm³
Flashpoint: Not applicable (solid, not flammable)
Explosive Properties: Dust may be explosive at high concentrations in air
Partition Coefficient: Not determined
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions
Reactivity: Low under normal conditions
Conditions to Avoid: Strong heat, ignition sources, open flames, high dust levels
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, mineral acids, alkalis
Hazardous Decomposition Products: At elevated temperatures: cyanuric acid, melamine vapor, nitrogen oxides
Acute Toxicity: Not acutely toxic by oral or dermal routes, inhalation possible mechanical irritation
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: May cause drying or mild irritation on repeated contact
Eye Damage/Irritation: Dust may irritate eyes leading to redness or watering
Respiratory Sensitization: Inhalation of dust can cause coughing or discomfort
Chronic Effects: No evidence of long-term health effects from normal workplace exposure
Carcinogenicity: No components listed as carcinogens by IARC, ACGIH, NTP, OSHA
Mutagenicity: Not known to cause genetic damage
Reproductive Toxicity: No evidence of reproductive hazard reported in available data
Ecotoxicity: Low toxicity to aquatic and terrestrial organisms, risk of physical effects if released in bulk to water
Persistence and Degradability: Slowly biodegradable in soil and water, tends to persist if released in large quantities
Bioaccumulative Potential: Low; will not accumulate significantly in living organisms
Mobility in Environment: Immobile in soil, insoluble in water so unlikely to migrate far
Other Adverse Effects: Potential to disrupt filtration in water treatment systems if significant quantities are released
Waste Disposal: Collect waste carefully in suitable containers, avoid dust release, dispose at licensed landfill or incineration facility
Packaging Disposal: Rinse empty containers if possible, recycle or dispose of as industrial waste
Special Precautions: Do not allow significant dust to enter surface water, follow local environmental and waste management guidelines
Legal Considerations: Check local, national, and international requirements for specific disposal or recovery operations
UN Classification: Not regulated as hazardous for international transport
DOT (US): Not regulated
IMDG: Not classified
ICAO/IATA: Not classified
Transport Precautions: Secure containers, avoid rough handling and moisture exposure
Special Notes: Transport in accordance with all national and local regulations
GHS Status: Not classified as hazardous
REACH Status: Registered or exempt in EU regulations
TSCA: Listed in the US inventory
Other Regulations: Product meets relevant safety requirements for industrial use but check for local rules on dust exposure and environmental protection
Labeling Requirements: Standard industrial chemical labeling, dust hazard warning as appropriate
