Protective Equipment: Wear full protective gear, including self-contained breathing apparatus
Special Precautions: Stay upwind, avoid inhalation of decomposition fumes
Personal Precautions: Avoid breathing dust. Use personal protective equipment as described below
Environmental Precautions: Prevent large spills from entering drains or surface water
Containment Methods: Sweep up solid product with minimal dust generation. Collect in labeled containers for reuse or disposal.
Cleaning Methods: Clean spill area with water and detergent to remove residues. Ventilate area as needed.
Handling: Minimize dust generation. Wash hands before eating, drinking, or smoking. Work in well-ventilated areas.
Storage Requirements: Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Protection from humidity and sources of ignition required.
Special Considerations: Keep away from incompatible substances and moisture. Ensure containers remain tightly sealed when not in use.
Occupational Exposure Limits: No official exposure limits published, treat as nuisance dust (OSHA PEL for particulates not otherwise regulated: 15 mg/m3 total, 5 mg/m3 respirable)
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation recommended for dusty conditions.
Personal Protective Equipment:
- Respiratory: Approved dust respirator if dust levels are high
- Eyes: Safety glasses or splash goggles
- Skin: Gloves to avoid prolonged contact
- Hygiene: Wash thoroughly after handling
Appearance: White or off-white, odorless, crystalline powder
Odor: Odorless
pH: Aqueous solution typically near neutral
Melting Point: Decomposes above 160 °C

Density: About 1.75 g/cm3
Vapor Pressure: Not applicable (non-volatile solid)
Partition Coefficient: Not determined
Boiling Point: Not applicable
Flash Point: Not flammable
Chemical Stability: Stable under standard storage conditions
Possible Reactions: No dangerous reactions expected with normal materials
Conditions to Avoid: Excess humidity, very high temperature
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, strong acids
Decomposition Products: Magnesium oxide, carbon dioxide, small amounts of carbon monoxide when heated to decomposition
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, ingestion, skin and eye contact
Acute Toxicity: Low toxicity based on animal models; LD50 (oral, rat) > 5 g/kg
Chronic Toxicity: No known chronic health effects from regular handling
Health Hazards: May cause minor irritation to respiratory tract, eyes, or skin
Sensitization: Not expected to cause allergy or sensitization
Other data: No evidence for carcinogenic, mutagenic, or reproductive hazards
Ecotoxicity: Product shows low acute aquatic toxicity; not expected to significantly harm aquatic organisms
Persistence and Degradability: Magnesium gluconate hydrates readily degrade in the environment
Bioaccumulation: Not likely to bioaccumulate due to high solubility and natural occurrence of magnesium and gluconate constituents
Mobility in Soil: Mobile in water, may leach into groundwater in significant overuse or spillage
Other Effects: Substantial releases may disrupt local water chemistry by contributing nutrients or altering mineral balance in sensitive aquatic areas
Waste Treatment Methods: Dispose of material as non-hazardous chemical waste in accordance with local, national, or regional regulations
Contaminated Packaging: Rinse empty containers before recycling or disposal
Precautions: Avoid uncontrolled discharge to environment. Use government-approved waste contractors if generating large quantities.
