Chemical Name: Chromium D-Gluconate
Concentration: 100%
Chemical Formula: C12H22CrO14
Impurities: Typically contains trace amounts of inorganic salts or unreacted gluconic acid
Ingredient Risk: Presence of trivalent chromium as opposed to hexavalent form greatly reduces severe health hazards
Inhalation: Move to fresh air, seek medical attention if symptoms develop
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, seek medical help for irritation or rash
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water, remove contact lenses, and seek medical attention for irritation
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, do not induce vomiting, seek medical advice promptly
Specific Treatment: Symptomatic care, physicians should monitor kidney and liver function if exposure is significant
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Media: Strong water jets may spread powder
Specific Hazards: Hazardous combustion products may include oxides of chromium and carbon
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
Explosion Data: Not sensitive to mechanical impact or static discharge
Personal Precautions: Avoid raising dust; ventilate area; use personal protective equipment
Environmental Precautions: Prevent material from entering drains or natural water supplies
Methods for Clean-up: Sweep up and collect without generating dust; place in suitable containers for disposal; wash area with water to remove residues; use HEPA or wet methods for fine particles
Emergency Procedures: Evacuate unnecessary personnel from affected area until cleanup is complete
Handling: Use with adequate ventilation, minimize dust formation; avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing; do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling
Storage: Store in tightly closed containers, in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area; protect from moisture, strong acids, and oxidizers
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids and strong oxidizing agents
Safe Transfer: Use grounded/earthed containers and non-sparking tools to handle bulk material
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limit for chromium D-gluconate; follow workplace hygiene
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust or general dilution ventilation to control airborne dust
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Safety goggles or face shield, gloves made of impervious material, lab coat or apron
Respiratory Protection: Approved dust mask or respirator for dusty operations
Hygiene Measures: Wash thoroughly after handling, remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse
Appearance: Light blue to green powder or crystalline solid

Acute Toxicity: Low acute toxicity by oral, dermal, or inhalation routes
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Possible mild irritation on prolonged contact
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: May cause eye irritation
Respiratory Sensitization: Dust may cause mild respiratory irritation in sensitive individuals
Chronic Toxicity: Chromium (III) compounds are less toxic than chromium (VI); monitor for allergic reactions or kidney effects with extended exposure
Carcinogenicity: Not listed as carcinogen by NTP, IARC, or OSHA
Reproductive Effects: No direct evidence for reproductive toxicity in humans
Ecotoxicity: Low toxicity to aquatic organisms at low concentrations, but high levels may impair aquatic life
Persistence and Degradability: Biodegradable
Bioaccumulation Potential: Low; chromium (III) forms less likely to bioaccumulate
Mobility in Soil: Moderate mobility depending on environmental conditions
Other Adverse Effects: Avoid bulk releases to surface waters, as chromium may accumulate in sediments over time
Waste Disposal: Consult local or national regulations; treat as non-hazardous chemical waste unless otherwise classified
Method of Disposal: Rinse empty containers thoroughly before reuse or disposal; residual material should be collected and sent to approved waste disposal facility
Recycling Options: Not typically recyclable due to trace heavy metal content
Special Precautions: Avoid release to the environment; notify authorities if large quantities enter natural waters
