ICSC 1507 - SUCROSE

SUCROSE	ICSC: 1507 (November 2003)
beta-D-Fructofuranosyl-alpha D glucopyranoside alpha-D-Gluco pyranosyl beta-D-fructofuranoside D(+)Saccharose Beetsugar

CAS #: 57-50-1

EC Number: 200-334-9

	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Combustible. Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air.	NO open flames. Closed system, dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent deposition of dust.	Use water spray, powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.


	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Cough.	Use local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest.
Skin	Redness. Roughness.	Protective gloves.	Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
Eyes	Redness.	Wear safety goggles.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Ingestion

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING
Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting.	According to UN GHS Criteria Transportation UN Classification
STORAGE
Separated from strong oxidants.
