Hazardous Ingredients:
Material Name/CAS no. % OSHA PEL ACGIH TLV
None
First Aid Measures:
Effects of Exposure
Ingestion: Irritant to mucous membranes and digestive tract.
Eye Contact: Irritant to eyes. May cause burns.
Skin Contact: Mild irritant to skin.
Inhalation: Irritant to mucous membranes and respiratory system. Dust may
cause mild symptoms of respiratory irritation.
Emergency First Aid
Ingestion: If swallowed, immediately give several glasses of water and induce
vomiting by gagging the victim with a finger placed at the back of the
victim鈥檚 tongue. Give fluids until vomitus is clear. If victim is
unconscious or convulsing, do not induce vomiting or give anything
by mouth.
Eye Contact: Flush the eyes with plenty of running water for at least 15 minutes.
Hold the eyelids apart during the flushing to ensure rinsing of the
entire surface of the eye and lids with water. Seek medical attention
if eye irritation occurs.
Skin Contact: Flush all affected areas with plenty of water for several minutes.
Remove and clean any contaminated clothing and shoes. Seek
medical attention if skin irritation occurs.

AM-44 MSDS (continued)
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. Seek medical attention if respiratory
irritation occurs or if breathing becomes difficult.
Fire Fighting Measures:
Extinguishing Media: Water, foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemicals.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: None.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Under certain conditions this material could
create a dust explosive hazard due to fine
particles present. Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)/Sulfur
Trioxide (SO3), ammonia, and carbon and
nitrogen oxides may be released during a
fire.
Upper Explosive Limit (UEL): 8 grams/cu. ft.
Lower Explosive Limit (LEL): 65 grams/cu. ft.
Flash Point/Method: Non-Combustible.
Accidental Release Procedures:
Spill or Leak Procedures:
Neutralize and flush with water or sweep and shovel.
Waste Disposal:
Material that cannot be used or chemically reprocessed should be disposed of at an
approved facility in accordance with any applicable regulations.
Handling and Storage:
Precautions To Be Taken In Handling And Storing:
Containers should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Store away from
foodstuffs or animal feed. Exercise caution to prevent damage to or leakage from
containers.
Other Precautions:
Aqueous solutions of citric acid can, if in contact with reactive metal (iron, zinc or
aluminum), form hydrogen which may form explosive mixtures.
Exposure Control/ Personal Protection:
Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection if
airborne dust is expected.
Ventilation: Good general mechanical ventilation should be
sufficient for most conditions.
Protective Clothing: None.
Gloves: Use chemically resistant glove.
Eye Protection: Wear chemical goggles if airborne dust is expected.
Other Protective Equipment: No special requirements.

AM-44 MSDS (continued)
Ventilation: Local exhaust sufficient to control dust.
Physical and Chemical Properties:
Appearance and Odor at room temperature: White powder with no distinct odor.
Physical State: Solid
pH (1% soln.): 2-3
Solubility in Water: >50%
Evaporation Rate (Water=1): Non-volatile.
Coefficient of Water/Oil Distribution: Not available.
Stability and Reactivity:
Stability: Stable under normal storage and use conditions.
Incompatibility: Usual incompatibilities of organic acids. This material is
degraded by strong oxidizing agents such as chromic
acid, potassium permanganate and high concentrations
of hydrogen peroxide.
Hazardous Decomposition products may be hazardous. Sulfur
Decomposition Products: Dioxide (SO2)/sulfur trioxide (SO3), ammonia, and
carbon and nitrogen oxides may be released during a fire.
Hazardous Will not occur.
Polymerization:
Conditions to Avoid: Prolonged heating greater than 392潞F which will result in
loss of water hydration. Strong oxidizing agents such as
chromic acid, potassium permanganate and high
concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. Aqueous solutions
of this material are corrosive to common metals such as
aluminum, copper alloys, galvanized iron and nickel.
